The Ocean Entry has been nice the last few days

Using flash on most cameras, at that distance, will usually end up with an image that has a "haze" from the illuminated particles in the air & with most auto cameras, an under-exposed image of the glow (of course if you a taking a photo of someone or something nearby, with the flow in the background, then you would need a flash - same thing with anyone using flash for any distance shot, you either need a killer flash unit - neither of these is what you normally see...)

Many of these are people trying to document what they are seeing, with no clue on the capabilities of the equipment they are using...
