Here's one with a weird phenomenon in the lower right. I have no clue as to what it might be.

Excellent interpretations of the Swords in Stone monument, Sten :D Exceptionally nice, in fact. You can be proud.

For non-locals: This is a monument set up to celebrate the 1111th Anniversary of the Unification of Norway. Sagas have it the decisive battle was fought here, at Hafsfjord outside Stavanger, Norway.

Bruno and Steen, those are 3 realy nice captures with a lot of atmpsphere!

Jaw dropping Øivind!
The clarity of the moon is unbelievable. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that it is shot so far north?
The blues and sharpness of the barn is so special. Which setup did you use?

Thank for the kind words Jakov. The cold here up north creates inversion layers which typically are troublesome, but then it helps to shoot more vertically through them when the moon is at its highest in the sky. The barn was captured with my Nikon 12-24mm @ 24mm and f/8 on my D7100, 10s at  ISO 800, processed in CNX2 as usual. I have learnt that it is critical to get the focus set correctly with this lens due to some field curvature, so I typically set it manually (based on previous experimentation) when working near infinity, and especially with night captures like here. I would normally use wider aperture for night shots, but the moonlight was so bright and the stars were not the main subject. I also think the snow on the branches helps to define the clarity of the image.

A reason for being out every night these days. She posed very nicely for a 20 sec. exposure time!

We cannot let this thread rest; the moon is showing again. All with 300/4 PF, 1/20 to 1/100 sec exposure time @f/4 to f/4.5 handheld.

Moon Raker

The cactus is Saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) if anyone is curious about its identity. The Moon is itself, ie. Luna.

(Nikon D3X, AFS 35 mm f/1.4 Nikkor & AFS 200/2 Nikkor combined)
