"Heavenly Glow" Robby Brown and Josh White (at cross) lead the youth group in their final worship service on the beach. The full moon and the luminaries in the shape of a cross provided a heavenly glow to the night time service.
Here's what Trent had to say about his favorite photo:
"This picture is my favorite because it presented a challenge to me because of the circumstances involved in it. It was nighttime. There wasn't a lot of light available and there are a lot more things you have to go through to get a good picture when you have those kinds of conditions. The only light I really had was coming from the moon. I shot that picture with a 3-second exposure. If you notice, there's a little bit of movement in the two people standing. Everybody else is real still. But to get the moon to show up and get the cross to show up and get everything else to show up it had to be a lengthy exposure."
