Moonlit nightmares

How do you make the moon appear so giant without isolating it from the environment? This looks fake

even with that optics, the tree should've been too blurred. secondly, the moon would either be so bright or else everything in the foreground will be almost completely black

Yeah, I don't think so, no really.

Ignoring the DoF, your dynamic range is remarkable.

Just for fun, can you share the settings you used?

he's guilty by being too defensive and dismissive at the same time. lol

It comes to show that many people are not really aquinted with optics. Of course this shot is possible.

I never managed to take a picture where the moon is this sharp and you can see the stars like this, but I'm an amateur.

If you think this shot is possible, can you tell me what shutter speed would correctly expose the stars and an almost full moon in one single shot?

This is a miraculous Peter Lik style. "Straight out of camera, I swear."

haha i still can see stars on the right bottom side
