Great shot. If you dont mind, what was your technique and procedure?? What lens and any filters used?

Thanks. Shot with D300 on tripod (fired with Pocket Wizards), 200-400 @ 200mm, F6.3, 1/13th of a second. No filters used; the warm tone is true-to-life (auto-WB), a product of the moon rising prior to the sun setting.


...no, I don't use auto WB anymore...

Cool - Very nice shot. Size of moondisc seems to be really bigger in the americas ;-)

The appearant size of the moon is a product of getting as far as possable from the landscape (buildings, in this case), then getting as tight as possable with a telephoto. Not a photoshop job.
