Moon over Topsail

I've found shooting the moon to be pretty easy by itself and taking long exposure night photos to be fairly easy. But trying to get a moon shot *with* landscape at night? That takes some camera tricks.

So, I took a photo of the moon, a long exposure shot of the ocean and then combined in Photoshop - and added a glow around the moon.

Ah, Quite different from what I imagined! Now I need to see your short exp moon shot... if don't mind :)

The short exposure moon shot is basically just a shot of the moon. Nothing special. I zoomed all the way with my 15-200mm lens and then cropped the moon in post process. Then in Photoshop, just copied and pasted the moon out of the shot.
