This shot was taken at Fort Totten, Queens NY. I was on my way out when the sun was completely set. The sky had some really nice blues so I used a cool w/b. The moon was shot about 2 hours later off of my balcony at f/11, 1/200s, 100 ISO and a cool w/b.
I first cropped the bridge pic to eliminate some of the foreground off to the left of the shot. Then I tweaked the exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, clarity, vibrance and saturation in Lightroom. Same adjustments were made to the moon. The 2 shots were then combined in photoshop. The moon was sized up, added its reflection, and added stars using layers.
The lens I used was the Nikon 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (I don't think it was listed on the site's selection menu). The shot was taken at 18mm.
