Romantic guy that he is, Tim had just returned from a sojourn on the gondola, which had been a surprise for Dawn. Cassandra and I met them as they were pulling in.
I mounted the camera on a low tripod,
set it up for long exposures,
and activated a remote trigger.
Then, I rowed us out,
told Tim and Dawn to hold still,
and spun the boat.
Cassandra illuminated Tim and Dawn with a small flashlight,
and I pushed the trigger button.
As usual, I took a truckload of photos, and most were substandard, but I like the three below.

I'm trying to figure out how we managed to acquire a curved horizon.

We got all the elements right.
Big thanks to Tim and Dawn for serving as my Guinea Pigs on this one.
It was a lot of fun.
And of course, I'm already thinking about doing this again. Maybe at Tim's place - Sunset Gondola.

Great idea. I liked the middle one. Will you try it again while the Christmas lights are shining bright?
I'm thinking a lot about how to do this again with Christmas lights.
I'm also thinking about trying to mount the camera to the back of the ferro so I can get more gondola in the shot.
I don't think a Gorillapod would work.
Maybe duct tape is the answer.
