George,

Nice shot. That is such a magical time - full moon setting at sunset, and I really like the way you captured it.

I had a similar challenge with exposure on the shot below. What I did here was to use an offshoot of Roman's HDR technique off the same exposure. I brought two versions of the same RAW file into different layers in PS and used a brush to mask out the moon. I thought about dropping a moon in from a different shot, but this seemed to work ok.

Anyway - nice shot of death valley! I need to go there some time.



Yes, I would say that it worked OK. Great shot.

I was going to try to do something similar with the two exposures I took, but I moved the camera a little and couldn't get them to line up. It was just easier to cut the moon out of one and drop it into the other. Roman's technique didn't work because the moon was too far gone in the exposure I took.

Some of my best
