  • Bonus pic

  • Great photo even if it is a stacked image

    • He also posted this one, which I didn't think is stacked.

      Does the stacking make it look too fake? I didn't think I would have noticed if he wouldn't have said in his post.

      • To have both in focus does make it obvious it's an edit, yeah. Pretty much any photo where you see a near object and a in detail far object like the moon is a composite photo.

        To get really detailed photos of the moon, you're more than likely taking hundreds of individual photos of the moon, stacking those (using software) and then compositing with another image.

        This is an image I took which is actually about ~650 images of the moon through a telescope using a DLSR

        Something similar to this composited onto another image would be a focus stack (like a tree or any other near object).

        Generally, both images are taken at the same time, place, direction, etc. - so I don't really see it as "Fake" just more like an edit, which most photos are anyways to some degree.
