FULL Moon

Gorgeous photo right? Well guess what it was taken at night with no flash......even more amazing is the rest of the photos like the one below are also taken with no flash. What is lighting up the photo you might then ask.....well...believe it or not its the full moon.

A few friends and I decided to head up to Monument last night to make full use of the full moon by using it as a light source. To achieve photo's like these which were taken by Raisa Meiswinkel is to have a camera that you can adjust the shutter speed, a tripod and lots of patience.
I think that after last night we have a another Photosoc excursion on the cards - next full moon we will do an outing up to the monument to show anyone who is interested how to take these shots.


But for now meet Raisa and just enjoy her work :)

Tarryn, Marci and Sarah all absorbing the light from the moon. It was so much fun but you have to remain very very still until the camera has finished taking the shot which can sometimes take a few minutes.



The night lights of Grahamstown come alive!
