Full moon shadows
[IMG] DSC_1174 by Virid1an, on Flickr[/IMG]
So the full moon was casting down some pretty nice shadows out onto the snow the other night, so I thought I'd do a long exposure and see what I came up with. This is what I got. I really like how the snow glistens. Let me know what you guys thinks
Thanks:
Zach

Re: Full moon shadows
That's pretty cool. I'm a big fan of long-exposure work. I would recommend trying a different perspective next time, since this composition is a little flat. Maybe sticking the camera next to the shadow, pointed up at the tree and possibly the moon. You'd need a very large depth of field to make that image work, but since you're already doing long exposures, a tighter aperture is no problem. Try for a little more exposure next time, too. Sometimes going longer can reveal interesting colors where you wouldn't expect them, and make the shot look like eerie daylight.

Re: Full moon shadows
Thank you for your ideas! Honestly I seen the shot out my back door and scrambled for my camera and tripod, set it up on my porch and took a couple of exposures before I froze to death, seeing that it was 15f outside and I was wearing a hoodie and sweatpants

Re: Full moon shadows
I just wonder, Zach, about a slight crop to reduce the plainer area of snow in the foreground and concentrate more on the shadows. Not too much though.
Then take a similar amount from the right side or use a different image ratio.

Re: Full moon shadows
To me the crop is an improvement! I love the full moon on unmolested snowscapes.

Re: Full moon shadows
Thank you, James. Got it early enough before the little siblings went out there and well.. molested it.
