Tree at Cornwall park

This is last month’s full moon. I don’t have a long enough lens, but it’s my best try yet. Rokinon 300mm mirror lens. (love Nora’s moon shots above with the birds and trees, and I’ll have to give the Grafton cycleway a try).

Not darkening, I’d do that afterwards. You could always use an optical graduated filter. Many people do “light painting” with a torch to highlight something, I haven’t really used this method yet. Modern digital seems better suited than film for long exposures /low light photography as there is really good dynamic range. I’m always struggling with noise however, so looking for future camera upgrade options.

Really good to see you there Jackson. My basic recipe that gave me better results was to use a tripod, shoot raw, then use adobe camera raw’s tools to firstly: make the white balance much bluer as sodium street lights are orange. also do graduated exposure adjustments. For example, I burn in the footpath which always is overlit, then try to lighten the top to get some star light and more even lighting on the subject
