D3 and Nikkor 18-36 f3.5 -4.5.
Moon rising: 10 seconds @ f4.5 ISO 1600
Before the Moon was high enough to light the scene nicely, a shooting star above the Abbey.
25 seconds @ f4, ISO 1600
After a coffee and a break of an hour or two, we were treated to quite a nice display, by now the moon was illuminating the amphitheatre of the Vale of Nightshade and the Abbey. Coupled with the amazing light gathering powers of the D3 sensor.
35mm, 15 seconds @ f4.5, ISO 1600
We were treated to a visit from the local constabulary... No doubt wondering what we were up to at 2am in the wilderness of Barrow! LOL While they ruined several frames by swinging their torches at the camera from a distance, they did redeem themselves by illuminating the Abbey beautifully with their headlights as they left. Just as a shooting star shot into view above the Abbey. Probably best pic of the night!
35mm, 15 seconds @ f4.5, ISO 1600
Finally a close up of the buildings with the Abbey behind.
18mm, 30 seconds @ f5, ISO 1600 by Moonlight, at 2:16am Police long gone!
All the images processed in Lightroom. The last image visiting Nik Filters using detail extractor to bring out the texture of the stonework, which it did impressively.
Almost forgot this one!
21 shots processed in StarTrax from the D300s with a 20mm f2.8 lens fitted.
