If you pull a LR gradient on the image and provide more light to the jetty it will really sparkle. Or use the Exposure brush to put a little extra exposure into the jetty area. :-)


I trust the D3 implicitly! I love it. The 24-120 is growing on me,it may well get nailed to the D3 yet!

I understand and welcome the criticism, I actually feel the jetty is an impediment especially at that angle. It was the only angle I could find in the dark to get the Moon and Venus AND the jetty, although that's probably not quite true, I could have turned the camera further to the left but then I could have got flare from car headlamps in the image from the nearby road.

I will try your suggestion and post the results later. (Kitchen worktops to finish first!)

The images I have of the unobscured Moon the it is blown out in a bright round blob, at three seconds or thereabouts f8, ISO1600 is a lot over exposed for the Moon, which should be ~1/125sec @ f11, ISO200?
