Outstanding shots of the moon :: Digital Photo Secrets

Moon photography is one of those things that doesn't always work out the way you'd hoped it would. In fact, unless you are well versed in the art of moon photography, it probably hardly ever works out the way you'd hoped. But take heart, it is possible to get a great moon shot with just a tripod and a 200mm or longer lens. To include the scenery, however, you may also need to be understand the art of Photoshopping--you'll need to combine two shots (one of the moon and one of the landscape) to get a final image that is well exposed for both parts of the scene.
