Moonlight Photography

Moonlight on Sand Run Lake

The moon was about 3/4 full last night when I wandered down to the lake.  The image below is how the scene appeared to the naked eye.  (select to expand images)

By increasing the camera's exposure time a bit of magic occurred.  Stars, barely visible to the eye, emerged from the darkness.

Fiddling with the settings yielded this warm feeling image.

Turning away from the lake, and with the moon at my back, the following scenes unfolded.

I guess sometimes it just pays to take a little time, and look up.
