The first one was taken before the sun was setting so a lot of Half Dome is still in sunlight.? I was hoping for more of a sunset, but the sun disappeared behind some clouds to the west soon after this shot.

Sill some glow on Half Dome. Glacier Point Yosemite-6178-Edit.jpg | Aram Langhans | Flickr <https://www.flickr.com/photos/24330215 at N06/53325629681/in/album-72177720312473288/> Now the tricks.? Both of these shots were taken at about 100 mm on my Nikon Z7ii.? Shot in manual exposure because I then zoomed out to 120 and shot a frame of the moon which I then superimposed over the slightly smaller moon in the original shot.? Cheating, yes, but the moon really does look larger in person than it does in a photograph, especially when closer to the horizon where you have some physical references. There, I confessed. I feel better. Comments welcome.
