Default Bronze fountain at night.

Tried a couple night shots at the park. This is a bronze fountain ,in oglebay park in west virginia. When i saw the full moon behind it, i had to get a shot.

I really don't know what i'm doing with this kind of shot, so i just winged it and did the best i could. It was actually kind of fun shooting at night for a change. Might have to get a remote timer. I used my sigma 10-20mm at 17mm for this shot.

Any helpful tips are more than welcomed. Processing landscapes are alot different than what i'm use to.

Your "winged" shot worked out fine and it's a great shot. It's fun to change subjects, at least for a short time, then back to the wildlife (I only say that as you know it applies to myself also).

Thanks fred, it never hurts to learn a few new things. I really didn't know how to expose a shot like this. Should you leave it a little dark as i did, or should you expose it brighter?????

No worries there............i'll never give up my wildlife.

I think the darkness adds a great sense of depth to the image, especially the fountain. Nice work, as always!
