Out yesterday and while waiting for sunrise moon shining through the quite rapidly moving clouds caught my eye. Brought out as much shadow detail as I dared before things got too weird and noisy. Maybe I could have brought out more, just thought the darkness of the image suited it better

Oh yes.

Any plans to brighten up that would not have worked. It is fine just as it is. Lovely mood and atmosphere. Now, sshh, don't disturb anyone.

Very cool, I've been playing around with some blue captures myself; I'd love to shoot everything ISO 100 but sometimes you've got to push the camera to its limits.

The only being disturbed was a coyote who did not smell me and came around the corner of the barn. I think I ruined his morning.

This was shot at ISO 200 for 25 seconds exposure. I have gotten so cocky at recovering shadow detail in post processing that as long as the histogram is not wedged completely at the black end of the scale I am confident I can get texture and colour and seldom shoot at higher ISO. Unless I need to slow movement.

I like this quite a bit. Beautiful mood, lighting, etc. Bring up the shadows? Only a teeny bit if any. Don't know, may be fun to see both versions

I tried bring up the shadow a bit more The barn becomes a bit too coarse and pixelated for my taste.

Honestly I luv it just as it is. Perfection 😁

Nice (rare) moonlight shot Trevor. Ethereal is a good description I think . . .

Serendipity rules my photography. I did not go out planning a shot anything like this. And this was the trial shot (to get the exposure set and check composition) At the time I almost discarded it, too underexposed. Of the series it seems to be superior in evoking the mood you identify. I still need to work up the others, will see if any match or exceed this.
