It’s a Full Moon tonight and I was ready to capture it rising above a ridge here in the hills of the Algarve.
To enable both the Moon and ridge to be exposed correctly, I took 2 shots, one with an exposure to stop the Moon “blowing out”, in other words to avoid it being too bright and not seeing the detail. The 2nd shot was a longer exposure to capture the silhouette of the hills. These have then been blended in Photoshop to create one final image.
