Ok it's fake :embrass: Here's the real one:

But I think it's even more fake as the moon is hexagonal...sighzzz..
Think it's impossible to get a properly exposed pic without overblowing the moon..or are there any other ways?

Make 2 exposures : one for the moon and one for the foreground.

Thanks for ur comments, glad that some find it nice.

On double exposure, does it mean to take a fully exposed background with an overblown moon and to take the underexposed foreground with nice exposed moon. Merge the 2 layers together and use history brush? But the thing is that the moon moves quite a bit in a matter of seconds. So if I want to use ISO 100 to exposed the foreground, to get best texture, then the moon would have trailed. :dunno:

Anyone with experience in taking moon pics in the evening with properly exposed foreground? Care to share your techniques and settings. I wanna try again during the next full moon. Thanks..
