Moonlit Adirondack Fall
by Wayne Jones
My previous star shots were on moonless nights, so this one was a learning experience. It seems the moon actually lights up the sky -- not just the clouds and earth. I could see the clouds clearly from the shore near my campsite, but the camera saw the sky better, since human eyes are not very color-sensitive in low light. To make this look more like I saw it, I took down some of the brightness and saturation. Of course, that makes it hard to see in a bright room, but that's a problem I have not learned to solve and still make it look like night.
Canon 5D2; 14mm.
25 sec. @ f/8; ISO 1250
(surprisingly bright, since this was 4 hours after sunset)

I think the exposure is perfect.
Well done.
maybe the FG a little bit darker and need more exposure to bring out the details
