This is the gnarly tree trunk that I've silhouetted in many sunrises. The other night I tried it with a moonrise. This is not real - not quite. In order to properly expose the moon, the remainder of the image comes out TOTALLY black. In order to expose for the silhouette and the lights in the valley below the moon is a bright white circle with a bright halo. What to do? CHEAT!!! This is a composite (double exposure?) of the two necessary images. I zoomed in a bit more for the one of the moon thus making it unrealistically large (at least in terms to a comparison with reality). It's amazing how many images I've seen like this (large, perfectly exposed moon set in some surrounding scene) where the photographer would have us believe that's what came directly from the camera. NOT!!!
