Hi guys! I'm really excited to be back on Fstoppers after taking a break to let my schedule level out. I'm going to be trying to go through and catch up on some work that I've missed!
So this piece was born out of a fluke night when I had my curtains open after getting back late. It was cloudy, but the moon was shining brightly through the cloud cover to create a kinda interesting effect. I couldn't get the results that I wanted in the camera, so I took two images and superimposed them to get the shot below.
I've never done this before, so please leave any advice or thoughts. Thank you in advance!
Nicely done Cloe, and welcome back to the group. When you say you took two shots, was the camera on a tripod? Just wondering if the displacement is due to the relative movement of the moon over time.
Overall and interesting image with just enough cloud detail to add interest without becoming a distraction.
Thanks, Alan! I didn't use a tripod for the two images. I made sure that I was at the same focal length for the two images, but otherwise where the moon sat in the frame wasn't a big deal as I just overlaid the moon from the second cutting out all of the skies. The displacement you mention is actually a reflection of the moon in the glass that resulted from shooting through my 6th floor window.
I love the sharpness and how you created your photo....very clever.
