Day 305: Full Moon

After taking photos at night and having them turn out looking like it was daytime I decided to try getting a shot of the moon again, but this time I wanted it to look like the moon instead of the sun. It took a bit of trial and error but I finally managed to get a couple that gave some detail of the full moon.

I chose this one because of the silhouette of the trees off to the left of the moon, without that it'd just be a disc in the black.

Day 303: Night Time Photography?

I decided to take some photos on my way home from OzTag tonight, we had an 8:30 game so it was pretty dark when I left Kippax. My photo tonight is on the Coppins Crossing Road about half way along heading toward the Stromlo end and it was actually very dark when I took it.

The moon was pretty full and in the photos I took tonight it ended up looking like the sun, in this one the only give away that it was actually taken at night are the orange lights you can see on the left side of  horizon. I'm not really sure what the lights are though, I'm thinking they must be the lights of either the lights of the Gungahlin Drive Extension or maybe William Hovell Drive because I'm pretty sure that Black Mountain Tower (Telstra Tower) is behind the trees that are behind my car. Either way, without those lights it would be easy to mistake this for an under exposed daytime photo.
