Moonlit - a photo on Flickriver

Moonlit

I'd almost forgotten about this and a couple of other images from this day, it's all too easy to move onto the next trip and the next, and all of a sudden things get left behind, sorting out a few files I came across them again.

I'd came here this morning to shoot the sunrise over Rydal water but on the way up it was pretty clear that the fog was pretty heavy and seemingly in to stay.

When I got to the spot it was still really dark but the moon was unusually really really bright so it was rendering things quite visible even in the dark and the fog so with the aid of the moon I decided to set up and go about framing the tree and see what kind of exposure would be needed to render the scene.

Around 10 seconds gave a great result with the bright moon causing the sky around it to show as blue fading into the dense fog below it, yet allowing the tree and forground to be clear giving a really unusual and somewhat haunting image, I'd never shot just using moonlight before, and luckily the conditions for it and the moons phase was perfect, I always look for opportunity to do it now to try and get something a little different to the norm, setting up in the dark and getting something ike this on the back of your camera is really quite bizarre and well worth the stupidly early start.
