In this weeks challenge Sofia has asked us to share our experiences, good or bad, with low light photography. I have always struggled taking photos in low light and have plenty of fails to show for it. Usually, when I succeed it’s just pure luck.
There was a beautiful full moon the night we were sailing away from St. Lucia on our recent Caribbean cruise. The header image is of the full moon over St. Lucia. A little while later I captured the Pitons on St. Lucia in the below image.
The rest of these images are a few of my attempts of taking photos inside with low light.
Many thanks for Sofia’s challenge Lens’Artists #186: Low Light

Your first shot is wonderful but I also like your indoor ones, the shadows on your lounge chairs one are beautiful.

Tina, thank you! I didn’t plan it but the timing was just right to capture that full moon. A few minutes later and it would have been too high.

Suzanne, thank you. I struggle with the settings so usually it is guesswork and luck when they turn out. I usually have better luck with my IPhone.

Your comment made me smile: “When I succeed, it’s just pure luck”!!!! I feel the same way. And usually I do better with a simple iPhone camera than all the workings of a DSLR. Your photos are great. Thanks for sharing.
