By the Light of the Silvery Moon
Submitted to Nighttime
The moon was not Photoshopped, but rather this is what I call a clean double exposure using a method I also coined "Black Panning." I exposed the moon at 300mm, covered the lens, panned, then changed to a prime lens and uncovered at 18mm to capture the background. Orion hovers over a seemingly closer Luna, and the city lights of Denver light up the backdrop. Shot with a Canon 20D at f45 ISO100 for 145 seconds. Probably an effective cumulative exposure of about 15 seconds.
