Moonrise



Tristan Panek
Claymont, DE
Sony F717 on tripod
Composite of four images taken 5/6/2004, 10:26 PM EDT

Moon details:
1 x 1/125 sec and 2 x 1/200 sec, F/2.8

Sky and trees:
1 x 5 sec, F/5

ISO 100, daylight WB for all 4 shots

Moon images stacked, flattened, and sharpened then added to the background. Composite aligned, blended, levels adjusted, and cropped in PS7. Noise removal and sharpening in Neat Image. Yes, the colors were that neat since the moon was about 5* above the horizon.
