Great shots, Robert!
Please tell. There must have been quite a moon that night.... it was so
clear!
I tried to download the photos to see their exif... to no avail (flash
player). But, can you tell us please the camera you used as well as other
useful info such as ISO, f stop, white balance, etc.
Thanks,
Marcel

Yes, there was. That's why I went out in the middle of the night. :-)
And in case someone wonders about the orange light: it's from street
lights in nearby villages.

The camera was a Canon EOS 10D, and the lens a Sigma 10-20mm.
All images except number 4 were shot at 100 ISO, 30 seconds, and f/4.
But I shot most of them two or three times so I could average them to
decrease the noise a bit. So I guess you could say that the shutter speed
varies from 30 to 90 seconds.
Number 4 was shot at f/10 because I absolutely wanted the foreground
branches to be as sharp as the background. The effective shutter speed in
this one was 180 seconds (6x30s), which explains the (longer) startrails.
White balance is a bit on the blue side, because that's how I like to
display a moon-lit landscape. In fact, you can still see that I corrected
the white balance of number 9 because it was too warm the first time. I
didn't bother to correct the thumbnail, so it still has a more neutral
white balance. :-)

Some ace shots there. The level of skill and preparation is a notches above
mine so I'm not even going to argue that. If I'd sorted the tripod, took
more photos, and put myself around a bit more I'm sure I would've done
better but I didn't. Having a clue is one thing but talent and putting the
time in is something else and, well, the results speak for themselves.
One thing I did notice from a subjective taste POV is the ratio is roughly
the same for stuff that makes the cut. I'm going to take that as a rough
indicator that I've got enough of an eye and savvy that more practice is
worth investing in. As per Kung-fu and Zen if you have the right form and
balance, and focus and detachment, success unfolds on its own.
Well, that's a great start to the year.

Your shots are well exposed, sharp representations of what you saw. It is
extremely difficult to get the right exposure on snow, but you seem to have
done it. To my eye though, I would have liked to see some center of interest
or pattern in the landscapes. You are close with the shot of the three pine
trees with the bramble in the foreground. Keep up your efforts, you have a
lot of potential.

<chuckle!> If Robert has "potential", I will seriously enjoy seeing what he
produces when he actually gets good at it! ;^)

I'm aware of that, and working on it.

Thanks for your comments, Peter. Ofcourse I like getting compliments, but
constructive criticism is even better. It'll help me getting even more
compliments in the future. :-)

Good points. The first shot is really nice and has more of an overall
texture than a discrete subject. I suppose you could call it pattern,
and I suppose the clouds are centers of interest but my eyes rest on the
overall near-symmetry with the clouds & shadows acting as a relief to
let my eyes wander and explore. The shadows provide enough foreground
interest to suit the wide angle but generally it's good to have maybe a
little more going on in the foreground, which most of those do have. The
last one has this foreground/wideangle thing working nicely but the
first is still my favorite of the set. Thanks for sharing.
