Moonlight

Since it's impossible to take a photograph of the moon and still keep the landscape correctly exposed, the way to do it is to take two photographs and use an overlay technique. Basically that means you blend the two photographs into one, something which my camera can do automatically.
I used a 3 min exposure for the house and trees and a 1/320 sek exposure for the moon itself. I also used an 80mm lens for the house and changed to a 200mm for the moon. That way I could enlarge the moon and create a more dramatic effect.
