What we call moonlight is really just sunlight reflected from the surface of the moon. It is white light; it has the same color balance as sunlight. Our eyes are poorly suited to detecting colors at low light levels, but a long exposure photograph using moonlight reveals the true colors of autumn leaves. As the earth rotates the camera also captures star trails which show the apparent motions of stars through the sky.
Time exposure taken October 13, 1995 at Carlisle, Massachusetts
