Last week the photography world was set atwitter by an astronomical event called the "Supemoon." This is when the moon reaches its closest point to the Earth and appears to be roughly 14% larger. This makes it, well, 14% easier to get a close up shot of the moon. Photographers from around the world ran out side (late at night or early in the morning) to photograph this moon. What some found, apparently, was that their camera did not capture the "supermoon" in all its humongous glory. Instead, the moon appeared small in the final image like the one below.
So, how to fix this problem. Well, its simple really. Take another picture using a telephoto lens. This, however, leads us to another problem. It looks like just any other moon photo. There are no foreground elements to compare the size to as seen in the following image.
Well, now what? Oh, screw it, we can just combine the two images together in photoshop and no one will be the wiser, like the image is now.
I have been seeing photos like this pop up all over the internet and people are amazed and in awe of not just the moon but the photographer and their ability to capture such an amazing image. If you are going to post photos like this, let everyone know that it is photoshopped. Otherwise, just post your true image of the supermoon. This is mine. Its not very impressive, but I still like it and I can say that it is not photoshopped.
