This photo has had the sun replaced with an image of the moon taken on a separate occasion.

This is the original shot after crushing the black levels a bit and setting the white balance at around 3900K. The exposure was f16, 1/8000, ISO 100.

This is a shot of the same scene straight out of the camera with no effects and an exposure somewhere toward the middle of the range  (f11, 1/1000, ISO 100).

Here’s the view from Port Melbourne beach as the Spirit of Tasmania begins its trans-Tasman journey.

Colour balancing and effects done with Lightroom, it’s such a great program to shots organised and up to scratch for output.
