Today I've been working on learning layers in photoshop and have been playing around with merging two exposures together; one of the clouds with the moon blown out and and the second is of the moon properly exposed. For this first try I stacked three layers with a duplicate of the background cloud layer placed in front of the moon exposure with opacity adjusted (to still portray it as being behind the clouds) and hit it with the burn and blur tools but its still a little too sharp and the shading is a bit off. It was a bit fun for my first shot. Still need to pull back on the processing a bit but I did enjoy the colors that the low clouds caught from the streetlights and blues from the the high clouds.
