This is my first stab at making a composite in any serious sense. Not sure if this will render as evocative and surreal or just, well, dumb-looking.
This is from two source images. One is the daytime horizon with clouds:
The other is a zoom shot of the moon:
Essentially what I did was invert the colors of the daytime shot and meticulously color-swap to create a passable "nighttime" facsimile into which I could add the moon:
Then I layered the daytime shot on top of the "nighttime" shot with some gradient layer masking. I was somewhat inspired for this by the concept of the multiverse--and what it might look like if the veil between parallel realities were to become somewhat permeable.
NOTE: I used two different cameras for this. The camera specified in the description is the one used for the main horizon. The moon was shot with a manual-only zoom lens on my Canon 7D.
