Dad's full moon

Dad's full moon, originally uploaded by Mike Seymour.

Dad called me up to tell me the moon was just over the horizon. He wasn't happy with my other full moon shot, I guess :p Like any good son I went out to take a picture for him. The things we do for our parents.

A little secret:

This picture is actually a compilation of two pictures. I had to slow the shutter way down to get the church as light as it is. I then increased the speed again for the moon picture. Later I merged the two in PS. The moon never seems big enough in the original pictures, meaning it doesn't look as big in the pictures as it looks when we see it with the naked eye, so I increased the scale of the moon in this picture to compensate.
