Sturgeon New Moon

Undertaking moon photography is an art form. It can look easy but then again the bright light of the sun reflecting off the moon has to be carefully exposed on camera. If you expose for the wonderful background of the moon in the clouds then invariably the moon becomes an overexposed disc. The answer to the problem is to use photoshop to process two pictures which I thought was very clever until I realised that it has been done many times before. Here are my simple attempts and they did get a very good response on the social media.
