Moon and Clouds

I wanted to take some photos of the moon last night, just for the heck of it. I didn't realize until I got outside that the the sky was partly cloudy. I shot a few exposures without clouds, but I thought I'd try and capture what I saw that evening...moon and clouds. So I shot two exposures (1/100 and 4 sec) and blended the two in Photoshop.

    Great use of combining photos
    I really enjoyed your photo of the moon and clouds. I think you have overcome and shown a great way of being able get both moon and sky detail in. Expose for the moon and you get black sky deatil, and vis versa the moon looks like a lightglobe. By allowing the sky to be exposed for 4 seconds I think creates drama with their movement, and the moon is nice as well. Thanks for sharing.
