Checking out a new area for pics

[WalkerinSC]

Went under a full moon to see how the area was with getting set up without using artificial light and my view. Went well but way to much light for night starfield pics. So just fooled around with these:

1. The full moon pretty much obliterates everything! These look good for those conditions.

I would definitely go back, if it's convenient, when the moon is absent.

I saw Orion's belt!

2. I saw it too!

Those are very nice just the way they are.

3. Thanks for the feedback

I'm still trying to get a good enough Moon pic after seeing the one you posted!

4. I'm always happy to share what little I know about getting good photos.

I have no idea what your knowledge is of photography, or what kind of camera you use, or anything like that.

I will say that I've had a lot of help from a number of folks and from AndyS, here on DU. He is very knowledgeable about taking photos and photography in general. He'd be an excellent choice for tips!

A lot of what I use is from him.

5. I like the location with the red dirt road..the top photo. A full moon would look good

And the end of the road. I will say..I’m sure wherever you chose, I can’t wait to see it

6. Ironically i was working on a shot similar to that

I just couldn't get the light balance right with my setup. Might have to go the composition route
