RoofingPrincess Posted October 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2007 1) Even though the light of the full moon seems bright to you, it probably won't to your camera. 2) You may need a tripod. 3) It's a light source behind your subject(s), therefore silhouetting will probably occur. You'll need fill light to get the detail on your subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted October 9, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You might post your photo questions on the Photo Gallery board (first group of boards). Some very expert photographers post and answer questions there. I'm sure you'll get good answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab0si Posted October 9, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Moonlight varies not only by its phases but also its variable distance from the earth, and different atmospheric attenuation based on local conditions. However, a full moon gives of approximately 1/400000 of the light from the sun. Shooting a portrait with nothing but moonlight is well near impossible. It can be done with a samll flash but makign this look "right" is not easy. IMHO, cheating with Photoshop is the best solution. :) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
