By the Moonlight

I have been wanting to try this for a while - leave long exposures open somewhere in the woods during a full moon and see what I get. I expected some sort of dim grayish landscape, but instead got a fully colored photo. Note that on the two last shots where trees are close to the camera, there is a red tint on them. This is from the campfire somewhere behind the camera. Also, on the open landscape (1st photo), the stars came out, creating the illusion of a starry daytime. These were taken around midnight.

Here is said campfire that provided that extra red glow on the nearby trees:

Deep in the Night

A few shots taken late at night by Alexander river, in the Ocala National Forest. The exposures are a few seconds long (a little too long), and the only lighting comes from a truck (front and brake lights, such as the red in the first photo).On the second shot, you can see the bottom of this extremely clear spring fed creek.
