The Moon and Capella
It was a Full Moon this morning (March 14) under clear skies. I setup on a balcony facing downtown and started shooting immediately as the moon was getting very close to Capella. In fact this is the first photograph I took this morning. This image is one photograph that I processed twice. I created a duplicate layer and processed the original for the moon and the duplicate layer for the rest of the image. I then manually blended the two layers together. It did not take long for the moon to slip out sight behind Capella as it was making its way to set below the horizon. But to my delight, as the moon exited from behind Capella it was well above the Wells Fargo Building and in between Capella and the Wells Fargo Building.
