Moon Over Barnegat Bay

The moon rises as the sun sets over Barnegat Bay near Seaside Park, NJ. This is an HDR image (see the Tips section for simple instruction on this technique). Basically, I wanted a longer exposure to create some motion blur in the bay. Because the water was not as bright as the sky, I could use a longer exposure without blowing any color channels. The brightness of the water capture was later reduced and composited with the shorter sky image exposure.
