Critique Welcomed Moonlight Walk in Wambrook

[Stevenson Gawen]

I'm not much of a pub goer really, but on this particular evening I went for a run and found myself outside the local pub.

Heading home after a pint (of Thatchers Zero ) it was a lovely moonlit evening which tempted me into trying to capture it on my phone camera.
As always, I'm quite impressed with what the Night mode can do with stacking and so on. I've brightened this a little in post as some were just a bit dark viewed in daylight.

These pics are definitely far from perfect but for me they have they're own charm. Almost a little like Polaroids or other instant film, in that one can embrace the imperfections. Or I can anyway. When I'm feeling optimistic....

What do you think?

As you say, not perfect technically, but then again, it is a phone after all. The images capture the atmosphere of the moment beautifully. There is something quite special about walking in moonlight, especially when there's so little light pollution.

Ha, yes, and a phone at 1/4sec, f1.9 and ISO 12800 if the metadata is correct.

capture the atmosphere of the moment beautifully.

Thanks

something quite special about walking in moonlight,

Isn't there?!

Ralph's comment is very nice, I find it difficult to add more. I had to let some time pass before commenting on this series (as I often do). I would say that the medium is very limited, to put it mildly (at least nowadays, tomorrow who knows) if you look at the result on a computer monitor, not a mobile phone monitor. The photographer on the other hand is very good and the photo img_20240914_213744-jpg is a cracker.

The third image is a nice capture of Perseus rising (over the pub?).

Ha! You are too kind...

Is it? I don't know the Northern constellations much. Even less than the Southern ones...

And no, not the pub, just a nice house on the walk back. Could be the pub though, in looks.

Thanks!

I don't know the Northern constellations much.

Well, as a 37 year amateur astronomer and life-long northern hemisphere resident, I still have to admit I thought, "That looks like some constellation I'm supposed to know, maybe Perseus?" ... but still I had to confirm it!!

A nice set, Stevenson. I think the noise and saturation add to the feel of the images / record of the walk. I do like your shadows.
