Thanks.
Nope, two shots. First the forest and clouds, around 10sec exposure. The moon was naturally a reddish smudge. Then the moon was shot using spot meter (1/80sec). Then a little ps.
The final image is a lot like the real deal.

How do you get the moon so big compared to the rest of the foreground? When I try something like this, I take two shots.. one of the foreground and the other of the moon with a tele lens.

Then I recompose them in photoshop. When I create 2 layers and copy the moon on to the foreground layer and then expand its dimensions. Hence the big moon! Whats your way of doing this?

Beautiful image, MJ. A slight crop of the bottom would help.

I have taken single shots that look just like this one, the key is just using a long lens and being a distance from the trees that you are using for the framing in the shot. Rather easy really.

Back in the film days we pretty much always had to get it right in the camera... while cutting and pasting were possible in the darkroom, it was no where as easy or as clean as it is today with Photoshop. So we learned how to take images in one shot...

No special tricks. Just a longish tele, crop sensor dslr and little crop in post processing. The distance to the forest was around one kilometer.
