New to photography, this is my first post. I have a few decent lenses. This picture is actually two images. The landscape was taken with a 200mm lens and the moon was taken with a 600mm lens and then reduced in size in post editing. With some help, the images were then merged in Photoshop. The location is a 3,000 acre ranch of pristine desert where many 1950/1960’s western movies were filmed on the outskirts of Tucson, AZ. For those a little older, remember the TV series 'High Chaparral'?
I am looking forward to moving up the photography learning curve (it’s a steep climb). Please feel free to critique my images.

Thanks. Just trying to figure out the navigation.
Impressive work, Mal. Next time, check the "store original" box and viewers can enlarge and, perhaps, provide better tips.

Nice, I like the stone face of the mountain in the moon. I hope the warewolves and vampires left you alone.
Photography is capturing, creating, and expanding. All of those can be found on UHH. Enjoy the journey. Nice image!
I really like your image. One thing I notice in the download is the banding in the sky. When you reduced your moon image did you reduce it to a jpg? If so, try doing it again as a tiff and then do your composite. It might remove that banding in the sky. Your blending of the two images is very well done.
