The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth. It is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun. The Moon is the only celestial body other than Earth on which humans have set foot. The Moon has an external magnetic field. The Moon is unique among natural satellites in that it experiences a stronger gravitational attraction to the Sun than to its primary, the Earth. For many years, the Moon has been recognized as an excellent site for telescopes. The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side the far side. It is possible to have a month without a full moon. This occurs in February, but either January or March will have two moons.

The Moon has an external magnetic field. The moon has no global magnetic field. The dark spots we see on the moon that create the image of the man in the moon are actually craters filled with basalt, which is a very dense material. From Earth, we always see the same side of the moon; the other side is always hidden. The Moon has been the subject of many works of art and literature and the inspiration for countless others. It is a motif in the visual arts, the performing arts, poetry, prose and music. I have a great collection of moon night wallpapers. I want to share all of my beautiful collections with all of you.
Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures. Nature photography tends to put a stronger emphasis on the aesthetic value of the photo than other photography genres, such as photojournalism and documentary photography.
Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes.
Light is the primary ingredient in photography. While most photographers know that logically, they still go on a photo shoot thinking of what subject they want to shoot rather than the conditions under which they will be shooting. This is why photographers often turn away from a scene because the light isn’t right.
Sidelight
When the light hits the side of your subject casting a long shadow on one side, it is called sidelight. Sidelight can range from somewhat subtle when the sun is low in the sky to creating deep shadows and hard edges when the sun is high in the sky. Either way, the high contrast that results from sidelight can add dimension and depth to your photographs. This is especially dramatic on subjects with texture.
Front light
When the sun is behind you and is hitting the front of your subject, it is called front light. Front light can be great for saturating color, but if it is too intense it can wipe out texture and have a washed out dull look. Front light works best when the sun is not high in the sky and too harsh. When the sun is lower in the sky it is warmer and less intense.
Reflected light
Light can be reflected from one surface to another. It can reflect off of water, glass, rock and just about anything else. Reflected light tends to be soft and takes on the color of the material it has bounced off of.
Diffused light
Overcast days don’t mean you have to stay inside! While a white sky does nothing for grand landscape scenes, the lack of shadows present in diffused light is an opportunity to crop the sky out of your composition and move in closer to photograph the details. The result will be a soft low contrast scene. Diffused light can also take the form of a shady spot on a sunny day.
Back light
The direction of light is named for how the light hits your subject, not where it is in relation to your camera. When the sun is in front of you, lighting your subject from behind is it called backlight. The tricky part of backlight is getting the exposure right. If your subject is translucent, like a flower, the light will shine through it. Otherwise you can meter for the sky and throw your subject into complete silhouette. I love using back light at sunset by positioning myself so an object with a distinct shape is between my camera and the sun.
Dramatic light
Storms and bad weather bring it on! While going out in bad weather can sometimes result in coming home empty handed feeling tired and cold the opportunity for a dramatic photograph is much greater than if you stayed inside. Being in the right location just as a storm clears can have great rewards.
Twilight
One thing that has always surprised me when I am out photographing a sunset is that as soon as the sun dips below the horizon all the photographers pack up their gear and go home. They miss out on my favorite time to shoot: twilight. It happens about 20 minutes after the sun goes down or 20 minutes before the sun comes up. In the period between day and night, there is plenty of usable light rich in color. While our eyes will often see black, our camera’s sensor will see deep cobalt blues and rich pinks.
Night
Night is an exciting time to photograph, and not just because of the odd people that mill about. City lights, the moon and stars all provide a great source of dramatic light. You need to be able to set your camera to keep the shutter open for long exposures. I have done exposures up to an hour long!
With a heightened awareness of light, not only can you seek out the best quality of light for your subject, but you can decide what subject to shoot based on the quality of light that is present.
