Haven't been here in a while, busy at work but here is one where I lucked out and got this shot, most of the time there are clouds or haze in the horizon and the moon is hidden...

    Your luck paid off. Amazing shot. I bet a sunrise with haze on the water there would be beautiful too.

    Nice composition, really looks nice. How did you avoid getting any blurring of the moon during a 6-second exposure?

    Thanks for your comments. Regarding exposure, I blended two shots, one for the moon and one for the foreground trying to get the full range.

    Thanks for the update. I figured that you would have had to do some blending...I just didn't want to be presumptuous. Nice shot all around.
