Great job

Thanks Geoff. Moonlight isn't so bad as long as you don't mind standing around.

One from yesterday...

Lukas those moonlight shots are excellent. How did you get the sky to come out blue like that? I'd have thought with moonlight it would have been pretty black. I also wondered at first how you captured the seaguls in mid air so well with a slow shutter but then realised they were star trails & it was a really slow shutter.
Jekostas nice misty valley shots. I've been wanting to get something like that myself for a while now. I just dont seem to be in the right place at the right time. I especially like the layered effect of the second one.

Thanks Phill. The sky will come out blue if it's exposed for correctly. When I took these the moon was a few days away from being full. f/4, 4-6min, ISO 200

I really like the bottom 3/4, but the clouds have a characteristic HDR/over PP look that isn't my thing.

#1 by moonlight is great too.
