Just back from 4 weeks camping Northern Kruger. The Mid Period was moon free. I havent got to the level of blending rows of photos yet ..and stiching them together in P Shop>> thats in chapter 36 in P Shop and I am still on the introduction to Chapter 0ne and totally confused.. But here is a pic I took at Punda Maria camp sitting alone at about 8pm on a moonless night on the Flycatcher Trail above the camp itself > Needs a Click no doubt. Camera Nikon Z7 mounted on a Kirk BH 1 Ball Head on a Gitzo series 3 Carbon NON centre Colum tripod. Manual Focus set in the evening, Manual Shutter Speed of 25 Sec and Lens Nikon Z 20 mm f1.8 @1.8 @ Manually set Kelvin 3400 and ISO Manually set at 4000 the max on a 45 m pixel camera (The Z6 can go much higher. Excuse the excess stars but thats N Kruger for you. The slight soft light painting was my Head Torch on LOW Power placed on a stone 25 metres away for the duration of the One 25 sec image
