Summer night

[kat]

I was trying to see if I could find a photo of my town at night and came across this night shot. We have a camping spot on the lake we can only reach by boat. I took this at about 2am..after one too many beers.

I used that noise reducer program to see if how it would make this come out. What a difference....

Any hints for night shots to make this better would be great..summer will be here before you know it and back out I go again!

Hmm..yah. I know, I know..rules of third...anything besides that..lol

I just think the sun should have been lower in the sky, far to bright and what is that thing on the right? Nicely centered and I think the rule of thirds is an optional rule lol.

Ha ha..it's the moon and the thing on the right is a fishing boat. Hmm..maybe the shutter speed on too long..lol!

Shooting the moon is hard when you start shooting it. If thats the moon your are very over exposed, I thought it was a hazy day which would give almost the same look. The boat throws it off balance.

I have this photo at different shutter speeds. The problem being by the time the mooon reflection on the water showed up everything turned soo bright. I had the ISO at 1600..maybe lowering that? Or some kind of filter?

Here is another shot half way between seeing nothing and the first one. I would of really loved to have the moon not come out as a white blob..and I dodged the water to get some highlights.
