The Moon and the Chase Park Plaza – A Composite Image – Forest Park, St. Louis

Despite having a nice long lens this weekend with excellent glass, I have not figured out how to shoot the moon so that the actual man in the moon is smiling down on one and not simply a bright, blank circle of white. And so I decided to do what I seldom do and take the moon from a a deliberately underexposed shot and add it to a properly exposed one. I don’t have Photoshop and used Paint.net and there is a tiny line. Even so, I am quite pleased with the results of the composite. My car and a cardigan served as a handy dandy tripod for these long exposures
