These were all taken in the early hours of the morning on a brightly moonlit night a couple of weeks back. It was freezing! All on my K20D, 30 second exposures.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I like the reflections in no.1 Kris. They're not amazingly sharp, I guess the trees were moving slightly in the wind.

What a lovely set, Kris. All pretty classy considering the low-light. (Are you sure you need a K5?)
Shouldn't mind that lens...
Best wishes,

Andrew

These are great! I especially like the first and the last. I quite like the first with top third cropped off as well...

Great shots. Hard to believe that's moonlit (not that I do not believe it!)
Well done.
Kind regards

I like the third one. Great colours and I love that crazy looking tree and its reflection.

The third one is my favourite too. The last one I like a lot too, but think a squarer crop taking a bit off the bottom might improve it.
