[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1357144, member: 101117"] 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. [B]EXIF[/B] 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! [B]In Lr,[/B] 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 [B]exiftool -model -LensModel -ExposureProgram -WhiteBalance -ExposureTime -FNumber -ISO -FocalLength -FocalLengthIn35mmFormat ./*.jpg >> exif.txt[/B] Produces this output. Almost forum ready! ======== ./DSC_2140-2.jpg Camera Model Name : NIKON D7000 Lens Model : 35.0 mm f/1.8 Exposure Program : Aperture-priority AE White Balance : Auto Exposure Time : 1/1250 F Number : 4.0 ISO : 100 Focal Length : 35.0 mm Focal Length In 35mm Format : 52 mm ======== ./DSC_2140.jpg Camera Model Name : NIKON D7000 Lens Model : 35.0 mm f/1.8 Exposure Program : Aperture-priority AE White Balance : Auto Exposure Time : 1/1250 F Number : 4.0 ISO : 100 Focal Length : 35.0 mm Focal Length In 35mm Format : 52 mm [/QUOTE]
