Well, it's pretty much thanks to my Dad that I made this photo.
He suggested at 10:52 PM that I try photograph the moonlight lake, so I bundled up and went out to see what I could do
Not having ever tried something like this before I just dialed in what I thought would work and hoped for the best.
EXIF
Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens: 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 Nikkor
Program: Manual
Exposure: 13 seconds
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO Speed: 100
Focal Length: 18 mm
Capture Time: 22:52:59
This alone produced a rather dark looking RAW image.
I probably should have exposed longer so I wouldn't have had to to re-adjust so much in Lr afterwards but for some reason that silly display
on the back of the camera always looks better than what you see on the computer!
In Lr,
I bumped the exposure from 0 to 2
Reduced Blacks from 5 to 2
Increased the Brightness from 50 to 100
Increased the contrast by from 25 to 50
Then I played with the Tone Curve so long until I was satisfied
PS: Exiftool is awesome, using this command in a folder of images
exiftool -model -LensModel -ExposureProgram -WhiteBalance -ExposureTime -FNumber -ISO -FocalLength -FocalLengthIn35mmFormat ./*.jpg >> exif.txt
Produces this output. Almost forum ready!
