Photoshop Tip: when inserting a fake moon into a shot, be careful to orient it so that the sun is hitting it correctly. That's a very beautiful photograph, except for the fake moon.

    I hate to point this out IJ, but the shot is in infra-red and obviously taken with a day-time moon.
    Nevermind, I've made loads of "first-thought" booboos.... it makes one feel a right prat for weeks to come!
    Best wishes

    sem, check out the shadows from the grave stones compared with sunlight on the "moon". Quite obviously from different "suns".

I'm ashamed to say that despite living all my 74 years in Yorkshire and holidaying in Bridlington and Flamborough I've never heard of this.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to go and see it for myself.

Lovely picture by the way!

Mary
