Terrific atmosphere and exposure. How long? No 7 at the moment.

Thanks for the comments. I took two exposures - 4 mins for the ground and 30s for the sky, both at f/5.6, ISO100. The exposures were combined with a simple grad in this case rather than anything more fancy. Anything else seemed to destroy the natural beauty of the scene IMO.

cheers,

John.

Great shot and great technique. This is a real winner. Congrats

John, this is really good. To make sure I understand your process on this, you combined 2 shots or you exposed one shot twice? Either way it really worked out well. Excellent image. - Sean

Hi Sean,

 

Thanks for the comment. I took the two exposures separately then combined them in PS.

 

cheers,

John.

Terrific nightshot, clever use of exposure bracketing and composites. The quality of shadow tones and the shining blue haze/mist makes this stand out of the crowd for me. Awesome atmosphere

Thanks for the technical information. Your composite is seamless. I should also mention the band of soft pink on the horizon nicely divides the 2 parts of the scene.

Nice work John,

 

the quality of the moonlight gives this shot a very unique feel. i am frequently impressed and inspired by your creative photography.

 

cheers,

 

Ben
