This is an old one that I took back in 2002 when I was living in my car and still shooting slides. I was doing a lot of experimenting with shooting the moon as a double exposure. The rule of thumb was to shoot the moon at the shutter speed of your film (so 125th of second for 100 speed film) and f/16. That way you just record the moon and nothing else on the slide is exposed. You have to remember where the moon is on the slide, then reposition for the landscape. In this case I used a telephoto lens to get the moon and a wide angle for the landscape. Of course, now all you do is combine two different shots in Photoshop, but it was fun to get it in one take. This was at Saguaro National Park just outside of downtown Tucson.
