Full moon landscapes

[tuco]

Yes indeed............with the moon rising in the west behind the buildings and the light coming from the East on the front of the building, I would say the moon is providing virtually none of the landscape illumination.

Even in New Mexico, the Sun/Moon rises in the east and sets in the west.

Hmmm...New Mexico may be different...

I was once in a car heading from Albuquerque to Los Alamos when someone pointed out the window at a church near the freeway and said with some satisfaction "That's where Ansel Adams made the famous 'Moonrise' picture".

So, apparently in New Mexico it sometimes rises in the north, as well as the west or east

If you look Ansels original contact print then the sky is almost like daylight.

Oops........my bad.

If you look Ansels original contact print then the sky is almost like daylight.

That's the common problem with all "Moon light" pictures - even if you include the Moon in them, the final result is made by light - very hard, if not impossible, to know the origin of the light just by looking at the picture.

1 second at f32, asa 64 film, no. 15 yellow/orange filter-not likely to be shot anytime past sunset with that exposure.....

Also in his book The Negative he talks about the scene as well as the processing of the negative. Like the link, he said there was no time for a second shot because the setting Sun went behind some clouds and he lost the expression of the scene.

You need to pass through civil and nautical twilight before you reach astronomical twilight where there is finally no more direct light from the sun in the atmosphere. The Sun is well below the horizon at that point and a full moon is significantly above it.

Hey,

I don't have the straight scans but here are 3 from the recent full moon.

HP5+ F5.6 Canyon = 10min Radar = 15 min and the movie set in the distance is 20-25 (I fell asleep for a min or two)
Clayton F76+ 1:9 for 8min constant agitation.

I like dark stuff. I think my next trial will be in the 18min range . . . only 26 more days to go.

Oh yeah, pictures:

Hoping to get some input on shooting a landscape with a full moon, either with some clouds or no clouds. I'm thinking about proper metering to shoot either HP5 or FP4+. I also have some Fufi Acros 100. I want detail in the landscape as well as the moon, but I think I'm looking more for moon light scene with full moon. Any examples and advice on exposure, developing and printing would be great.

I think I may have already posted this somewhere:

Mono Moon (5X7 TXP 320, 300mm Nikkor, f22, 8s)

Taken 2 days prior to full moon to allow the moon to rise in the sky while landscape still lit adquately from dusk light of set sun. See this for a look at the negative's original proof.
