[Leica] Some Moon Tricks

[Aram Langhans]

A few more from Glacier Point.  The first one was taken before the sun 
was setting so a lot of Half Dome is still in sunlight.  I was hoping 
for more of a sunset, but the sun disappeared behind some clouds to the 
west soon after this shot.

The second one is some people enjoying the view after the sunset 
fizzled.  Sill some glow on Half Dome.

Now the tricks.  Both of these shots were taken at about 100 mm on my 
Nikon Z7ii.  Shot in manual exposure because I then zoomed out to 120 
and shot a frame of the moon which I then superimposed over the slightly 
smaller moon in the original shot.  Cheating, yes, but the moon really 
does look larger in person than it does in a photograph, especially when 
closer to the horizon where you have some physical references.

There, I confessed. I feel better.

Comments welcome.
