Death Valley Campsite
I finally got a decent lens night photography (Nikon 14-24). This is single 30s exposure with a 1sec iPhone light inside the tent Nikon Df, 15mm, f/2.8, ISO 1600. PP in LR. Any suggestions?

The Sun and the Moon: Edited to add last photo
I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

Sterling in silhouette
I held a lighting workshop recently. Sterling was the model. I rarely shoot silhouettes but I wanted to incorporate that arch into a shot. Backlighting became an obvious choice.

As good as it gets with the moon that visible! All I can say is next time plan around a new moon and you’re golden
Thanks. Not much planning went into this one. We camped two nights. I had my gear, so why not give it a go. This was about 11:30pm. I woke up at 3am and the moon was gone, but my lighting assistant (wife) was sound asleep, so no tent light. If I had to do it over, I would bump up the ISO to 3200 and decrease the exposure time. 30s seems to be at the limit to avoid star movement.
Lovely!
