Where are the stars?
the flerfs want to know
Two is hardly enough
There's 2 things about this photo that may appear strange at first sight. One is that I appear twice in the photo and I'm a bit see-through. The other is that if you look closely you'll see stars in the sky. So to all the Flerfs who ask "where are the stars?", here they are!
These 2 things are also clues as to how the photo was taken. It was taken at night under a full moon with a 15 second exposure. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised at how the colours appeared just as they would by daylight, but I was. I cunningly relocated halfway through the exposure.
Taken at Coramba, 30.1986°S, 152.9972°E with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 14 mm F4.0 ISO:6400 15 seconds at 2:10:05 am AEST 3 October 2012 which was 16:10:05 2 October 2012 UTC.
For the Flerfs* who continually claim photos of the moon landing and other planetary photos are fake by asking:
"Where are the stars?"
Here they are.
* a Flerf is a possibly derogatory term for a flat-earther
Of course it's all about exposure. To take a picture of the moon's surface under full sunlight you have to have an extremely short exposure. Pictures of the night sky that show stars are much longer exposures than this. Even Flerfs should be able to figure this out.
Here's a larger image with exaggerated contrast so the stars are easier to see
