Thanks Brian. Thanks Ann. Yes it is a composite of two different exposures. I had to really crank up the iso (to 1600) and still use a slow shutter speed to get the building bright enough. I didn't have my tripod with me and so I ended up laying on the ground and shooting up to get a steady enough shot. In Photoshop I used the dSLR tools noise reduction action from Noel Carboni to get rid of the noise, and then upped the saturation a bit, sharpened, and viola. -Earl Waud

Love this one Earl. Like the design quality of the Space Needle and the moon with detail. How did you get the moon not over exposed? Is this a composite image? Good one! Ann C
