This caught my eye right away. What a lovely tree, and background and foreground as accessories. Well-spoted! |

I just ran across this article which has some helpful tips about photographing at night. Since interest has been expressed by some of you, perhaps this article could be of help. https://www.creativeislandphoto.com/blog/8-tips-for-moonlit-landscapes |

Thanks, Sheila. I like to try new things when in the mood for it. This example was hampered by my not making sure the focus was spot on during some of the shots, I"m sorry to say, but learning I'm hoping! |

Good for you Kathy. It's much easier to shoot night pictures during the summer months when it's warmer, but night shots are not difficult to do..........just tripods and camera settings. |

Steve, if you ever get the camera settings in your head, taking star and night pictures are easy..........set the camera, on a tripod, use remote shutter release or mirror up, and if the image comes out too light or too dark, simply adjust either the ISO, speed or f-stop. For milky way shots, I usually start (depending on the lens used) at manual settings, f-2.8, speed either 1/20 or up to 1/30, depending on the lens, and ISO between 2000 and 3200. I set the lens to just shy of infinity. For moon shots, handheld as I said in the information, and go up or down from that setting, changing either the ISO or the F-stop. |

Thanks for the note Stephen. I agree, and for some reason sometimes my lens creeps and I simply forget to check it. This seems to happen to me more when I'm taking night shots....it's the photographer that messes up, not the lens. |

This image reminds me of spots on the parkways in and around the smokies. Nice capture!! I might have a tendency to have moved to the right just enough to place the bright sun on the line of thirds, when shooting, or crop a little from the left side. Either way, this is a wall-hanger! |

Happy New Year right back atcha Deb!! I like the composition, but for me, the color shows so much more texture and details (that beautiful wood grain and the leaves underneath the table). We see compositions similar to this often, but you nailed this one! |

Wow, huge improvment with the filter use Kathy. I like the composition, subject, and your editing. |

The moon has a huge dof, and the rotation between the earth and the moon is difficult at best to get a sharp image due to the movement, which we can't tell with our eyes. A pro once told me the standard setting for shooting the moon is at least 1/250th at F 16. Now, this will work as long as the moon is half full, but less than that, I have to adjust one of the three adjustments. It can be the ISO. |

I find it amazing that as far north as Victoria the hummers don't migrate south! Great catch for a hand-held with no flash. The oof icicles in the background add to the story. I might have a tendency to lighten the image a little, but lucky catch, this. |
