Super Moon Shot: Trying for quite a while to get a picture of the moon and some background. Finally read enough and got some advice. Because a camera can't handle the dynamic range of both the brightness of the moon and the darkness of the background, one method is to take two pictures, one of each shot and put them together. This is what I came up with using that advice. Looks like it did to the naked eye. Used Photoshop Elements to merge the back to back shots.

Did you focus on two different aspects of the identical images? One of the Moon and the other the background? Looks great!

Here's the base photo that I sandwiched the moon on too. You can see the brightness just blots out the clouds.

Yes. Back to back photo's. One focused on the Moon and the next dialed back to pick up the background. Here's the moon shot alone. It just blots out everything else.
