Fast Fifty with Full Moon at Christiana

Working with little more than the light of full moon and street lights, I made these nocturnal late autumn images at Christiana, Pa.,

Years ago, I never could have imagine making action photos by moonlight! These images were test of the Nikon Z6-III with a ‘fast fifty’ (f1.4 50mm).

All were exposed with the camera on a 3Pod tripod.

In fact, the action photos could have been made without the aid of a tripod. I guess its just a habit to use a tripod after dark.

Below are several pairs of photos to compare before and after processing using DxO PureRaw to de-noise and correct for lens aberrations.
