Bridal Veil Falls in Provo, Utah under moonlight
In years when the moon phase and the fall foliage align, I’ve often taken autumn color photos under moonlight. Because I’m weird like that, I guess. I first did this with my Rebel XTi in 2007 or so, and I recently made my first attempt with my R6.
Usually I do live view manual focus on a bright star and assume the waterfall is close enough to infinity not to matter (and it is, unless I’m trying a telephoto shot). But for grins this time I attempted to autofocus on the waterfall and I was floored to see that it worked perfectly! This is with the nifty fifty.
A gibbous moon puts probably less than a quarter of a lux on the landscape. I’m impressed. I was not able to AF on other geologic features so I’m guessing speculation reflections on the water were what made it work.
Fantastic shot 👍 Love it ! 🙂
