Moonscaping Fun

[Austin Greene]

I went out to an old favorite location of mine Friday evening for a little bit of moonscaping fun. I thought I'd share the results with you all. The first made it into my 52 Weeks project, here.

Hope you like them!

All were taken at 15 or 20 seconds, at ISO1600 and f/4 with a Canon 17-40mm f/4L on the Canon 6D

I thinks these are great! Very cool to see a foreground exposed as if daylight but then, bam, starry sky!

Nice juicy shots. :thumbup:

Very surreal and dream-like. I especially like #3.

Glad you all liked them! I'll do my best to bring back a few more once the moon is right again! A full moon, or near-full moon is just a tad too bright usually.

Thanks again for the kind words!

It's a technique that makes very interesting and pleasing to look at images.
Kudos for discerning the light quality is better before or after a full moon.

The light has a nice soft quality that can't be achieved with direct sunlight and the long exposure makes the motion blurred clouds look nice and soft too.

I would probably add a bit more exposure globally and then selectively add a bit more exposure to the land.

Quick story: About 1875 or so a meteorologist published the first atlas of cloud types. His atlas had 10 cloud types.
The 9th cloud type was the most cushiony and comfortable looking cloud and spawned the saying - being "on cloud nine."

That's awesome! As for the thread title... I first read "Manscaping Fun" and was afraid to click.
