The moon cannot emit light, it only reflect the sunlight to illuminate the ground. So the sun is the main light source. Am I right? :)

Pictures should be of moonlight and not the moon itself. This is not right plz!

Read it again, Ali - it may be an image of the moon only.

Please note that the moon is to be the only light source. To light a scene with only moonlight will often require an exposure of several minutes. At twilight and dusk the sky and objects are still lit by the reflexted light of the sun even though it is below the horizon.

"At twilight and dusk the sky and objects are still lit by the reflexted light of the sun even though it is below the horizon."

but but -- the moon is only an object lit by the reflected light of the sun, too ;-)

Technically I should have written atmosphere instead of sky. The moon is always lit by the direct light of the sun, the earth is lit by the reflected light of the moon ;)
