Part 3: Sceneries under Moon light

To Preview of Part 3

We astrophotographers cannot take any pictures of nebulae nor star fields in moonlit night. However it can be said that pictures taken under Moon light with various landscapes are exception.
Because the Moon is reflecting the sunlight, we can take pictures of almost same color with those taken in midday, excluding the brightness in moonlit night is extraordinary lower than that in daytime. These pictures have been taken with a technique that trees or mountains are being shone by the Moonlight.
