Lights on the water.
These are illuminated floats, on large rowing boats, at Matlock Derbyshire UK.

Ship in a bottle.
I found a sturdy post to rest the camera on, but children were swinging on the ropes making it wobble. And the boats were moving both in the current and being rowed. Still you get the picture.

The ship in the bottle is a very cool concept.

They hold it every year and the first float out is lit with candles, ( as in Victorian times, when the thing was first started). It was in the shape of a crown and lit with tea lights all in little glass pots. Very pretty but my shots are all blurry. It is held on a stretch of the river and was packed with sightseers, plus the little fairground and food stalls. Afterwards there was a 20 minute fireworks display. I need to practise night shots though.:|
I used Manual a lot, and trial and error.

It is like a dream in a bottle...
