Sharon D. Ebert October 29, 2015 1

Wow! Was this planned or was it an opportune moment you were prepared for? Amazing! Is this as shot or did you shoot the building/sky/moon separately to get perfect exposure for each and then layer them in-program? The title is right on! Badges well deserved. So glad you posted it. #11392973

Mary L. Olson October 29, 2015

Thanks to all of you. Sharon, it was not planned. I was there shooting a lesson on changing light starting when the sun was setting and moving through the changes in the darkening sky. The moon was exactly where it was positioned, BUT just as it got there, a thin cloud made it look fuzzy, so I did layer in a more crisp moon, but in exactly the same position and size. #11393001
