Latest full moon


The latest full moon was showing itself through scattered cloud.
This presents an interesting photographic challenge...how to get details on the moon, and still show the cloud forms.
Each has a different exposure, and to get the correct one for each requires one of two methods.

You can go all modern and create a HDR, though matching the photos can be a problem due to the relatively fast motion of the moon...or you can use a little photoshop magic...I opted for the second option with the following results...






The top photo looking the most natural, with a little cloud over the top of the moons disk.
The photo below being the correct exposure for the moon alone...giving no evidence of the cloud surrounding it.
