Especially in the Fall. With the naked eye, during a full moon, shadows are easily visible. Imagine your camera set at ISO 3200. This photo, for example, looks almost like a daytime exposure except for the light from the windows. It looks familiar, yet something about it is different, unusual.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThere is a delicate balance when capturing images after the sun has gone down. Flash pictures rarely look natural outside with the stark contrast of flash lighting against a dark background. The &#8220;light painting&#8221; technique is interesting, whether using flash or just a flashlight, but &#8220;natural looking&#8221; it ain&#8217;t. Moonlight is a bit on the blue side but somehow, not sure how, it looks good on digital. These shots were taken with auto white balance, with 30 second exposures at 3200 ASA. I haven&#8217;t had a chance to look at the images at 100% but they look pretty cool as proofs on my iPad.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/instipator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101022-203133.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/instipator.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/20101022-203133-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"20101022-203133.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-281\"><\/a><br \/>\nMind you, a full moon helps. I&#8217;d like to try, before it gets too chilly, some outdoor portraits under moonlight to see what it does to skin tones though I strongly suspect that i&#8217;ll run out of moonlight before I get the chance. Who knows? Maybe there will be warm spell in 28 days&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love moonlight photography. Especially in the Fall.
