I have been craving trying a good honest effort to photograph a full moon with the moonlight reflecting off the water but could never get it right.
The problem has always been exposure. The moon is always too bright to allow for the proper exposure of the light reflecting off the water. The only way to get around this problem was to combine two separate photos into one.
I photographed the moon at one exposure setting and then took a separate photograph of the moonlight on the water. I combined the two photos to create this final product.
The second photo was taken two days earlier when the moon wasn’t quite as full and with it further in the sky but the process was the same.
