Description Cold moonlight early morning drive, lots of fog around, Central New South Wales Australia land.
This was my companion scenery that I wanted to share.
The car lights lit teh fore ground. The pic was noisey and cleaned with Neat Image (Anyone want to share their favourite settings?)
18mm ISO 100 F6.3 16 seconds on tripod. Canon kit lens, flare by Moon!

Lovely jubbly dave, I really like long exposure moon shots - they have a very surreal, sci-fi feel to them. Neat trick that one, using the car headlights!

Great effect. the light is greatly captured and glows quite elegantly off the ground and the mist around the mountain. Great work

did you paint the foreground with a torch or headlights maybe? Looks unordinately light and beautiful.

Sun-Seeker In reply to wombazt [2007-06-07 00:46:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah.. I had the car lights on and stood on the side of road infront of it so the grass did catch the light!

Really nice flare effect.

Hope you're happy with it.

I haven't worked out how to use it except by the seat of my pants.. any fav settings from you?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

thephotoshot In reply to Sun-Seeker [2007-06-07 22:47:57 +0000 UTC]

Well... to be honest, I really don't know how to operate it properly...
However, I was told some tricks:

1 - Open the image on neat image
2 - select on "device noise profile" the "auto profile with calibration target" box. (if it doesn't work, use "auto profile" instead)
3 - Then go to the third section and on "filter preset" chDepois disso vou ao 3ΒΊ separador e no "filter preset" chose "remove all noise"

Hope it helps.

parallel-pam [2007-06-06 15:04:51 +0000 UTC]

these a sense of paradox in this photo- the moon comes across a bit like a sun- but the starts contradict this idea creating a dissonance in the viewer's perception- excellent shot to wake ones perceptions up from complacency

Sun-Seeker In reply to parallel-pam [2007-06-07 06:19:18 +0000 UTC]

I probably could have stopped down a bit and increased the xposure.. to cold to experiment!

Wow, looks almost unnatural. o.o But very good..
Anyway, run it by me again.. is it the sun or the moon?
Just kidding, just kidding.. I know it's the moon.
