Challenge: The Moon II (Expert Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Location: NYC, NY
Date: Aug 30, 2012
ISO: 100
Shutter: from 1/1250s to 30 s
Date Uploaded: Aug 31, 2012

 a composition of 5 photos:
- the moon (shot with a 400mm)
- NYC at night
- NYC at dusk
- the Sky with a grad tobacco filter
- the water over the Hudson River from the same spot at night

layer masks like crazy, city shots: dark in the back, dusk shot at 50% transparency. this brightens up the city scape.

The first idea with the moon just have it bigger over the city. Didn't like it.
Then I drastically enlarged the moon and had the moon dwarf the city.

Wow. The moon is just a bit too big but nicely done none the less.

ha - so sci-fi. Looks like the moon is about to crash into the city.

Now that's one big moon looming over the city. Pretty tones. Voted earlier.
