Creating Moon Light Photography

Moon light photography is a pretty interesting form of low light photography that I stumbled upon recently.  It is interesting because the colors that come out of it are true color without the sun's yellow rays.  Also, the shadows are really neat.

This one was on the golf course I live on in October.  It was one of the brightest moons in a long time.

These are clouds in the sky in the same shoot.

Creating moon light photography requires a full moon or near full moon. It isn't as easy as it seems.  There are some requirements for this type of photography.  First, a digital SLR camera with manual controls of F stop and shutter speed control.  One needs to experiment to get the right combo. Hence, a tripod is necessary. You must stay up late or wake up in the middle of the night when the moon is overhead in the sky. Focusing is hard to do in the dark.

This week I shot some more shots this week:

The shadows here are more prevalent.

Good Luck!
