I love when there's a full moon and my backyard is all aglow at night.
It's especially pretty with the snow.
I often do double-takes walking by my window. Before my D3200 I would only dream of being able to capture such a photo.
I used my "new to me" tripod for the first time.
It took me many shots playing in manual mode to capture what I was seeing with the naked eye. Sadly I haven't had much practice time since taking that course last August. I have forgotten some of what I've learned and still don't know how to use my camera really well. I look forward to that day! {In fact, I can't remember if I was in manual mode or S priority at this point!}
Practice shots... under and over exposed galore...
After some tweaking and not fully knowing what I was doing... This is as close as I could get! I almost cheered!
f/9. 1 sec. ISO-6400. 24mm {kit lens}
I really need to study and play more because this was taken after many adjustments, not a knowledge of where I should start. My camera wouldn't even take a picture because it said it was too dark... that was until I pushed the AE-L button {but I don't even fully understand what that does, just random luck}. But it was clear that it allowed me to take the picture.
Where is that user manual.... ?
Photographers... what settings would you start on to capture such a photo?
