Moonlight over the marina

[Ralph Turner]

The night before our big adventure on the Norfolk Broads last week. Canon 6D, Sigma 24-105mm.

 

[Pete Askew]

Now that I like a lot. What a great composition, Ralph. Love the way that the constellation of lights complements the moon.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Many thanks, Pete.This was hand held (of course, high iso and a stabilised lens does make life a lot easier).

 

[Brian Moore]

An apt name on that first vessel, Ralph. A fine night shot for hand-held.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Thanks Brian. Moon Adventure was our home for the week.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Glad Brian mentioned the name of the boat, which I had overlooked. Nice shot, and a good memento for you. I’d love to explore the Broads, camera in hand.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Cheers, Rob. It’s a pretty place, my first ever visit. Plenty of wildlife to see.

Very nice - and especially with the name of the boat! For some reason it reminds me of a book I used to be very fond of - The Mystery of Moon Castle by Enid Blyton.
Her work has sometimes been sneered at for various reasons, but I can testify that as a 12 year old there was nothing better to read! A lot of good memories there. As an adult ( I guess I am one of those...) I find them a little simplistic in some ways, but I still love them for what they are.
Sorry.... end of off topic!

Thanks @Stevenson. Those books have delighted so many over the years (yet I shamefully admit I don’t remember having ever read any myself ).
