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

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). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All were exposed with the camera on a 3Pod tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are several pairs of photos to compare before and after processing using DxO PureRaw to de-noise and correct for lens aberrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
