Moon over London

[Alex_B]

This is real, single exposure:

Yesterday's moon over London

Nice one! Though I'm wondering what it would have been with a longer exposure and a little earlier near sundown.

 

[Alex_B]

the longer exposure would have introduced some blurriness to the moon and even more to the water.

I have brighter versions of this, but they just appear overexposed and do not really reflect the scene as it was.

Earlier to sundown the moon was not as prominent. See also:

I knew it!
That camera of yours does still know how to take good photos! Didn't I tell you? See? Here's the proof!

Our moon looked the same yesterday night. Funny coincidence :scratch: ...

Our moon looked the same too lol... well I'm pretty sure everyones did.

I tried to snap it but I forgot I never did night shots before & it was messed up.

Great shot!

Nicely done, Alex. I like how the sky gradually gets darker and darker as one's eye moves up the shot, and the starbursts for the lights along the bridge (instead of just big glowing blobs)

Very nice indeed. :thumbup:

Did you use a tripod?

 

[Alex_B]

thank you thank you

yes, i used a tripod, exposure was around 1 second I guess, so I cannot do that handheld.

tripod + cable release + mirror lockup.
