    Nice merger of long focal length and ultra-wide images. What focal length did you shoot the moon at?

  • Adam Gormley replied

    Hi Erik, the moon was in this shot, in that spot. I did however take the moon with a faster shutter, and at 22mm for this one. I know the moon does not like long shutters :) Thanks for the comments mate!
