It’s actually a composite of two photos. The moon was with the 200-500 f/5.6 and the palm tree is with the 24-70 f/4. Both taken on the same night about 2-3 minutes apart, about as long as it took to change over the gear. I lit the palms with a much reduced power SB700. That areca palm is right outside my lanai and impossible to get back far enough to frame at 500mm. I was taking our dog out that night and saw the moon in the palm tree. I tried with the 200-500 but couldn’t get it one shot so I took the moon shot first, and then changed lenses and took the palm shot. In the palm shot, the moon is in the same place, but a much smaller white ball. It was just one of those, “I see something” moments, and I had a lot of fun making it all come together.
