Photographing in the Moonlight

 The sun goes down, you pack the camera away. The moon comes out, get your camera and tripod out.

I was at a function at Morgansvlei Country Estate (www.morgansvlei.com) on Friday evening. Late in the evening I went outside to get some fresh air. The moon was almost full, and there were some clouds in the sky. The lights of the Morganvlei buildings were reflecting in the dam. The moon were lighting up the clouds. So I got my camera and tripod out. These photographs are a result of the shoot.

The photographs were shot at shutter speed of 15 to 20 seconds.

Best piece of photographic advice I can give to anybody;

1. Shoot. 
2. Criticize the photographs.  
3. Understand why a photograph works or doesn’t.  
4. Think how you could have improved the photograph.  
5. Start again.
