Do a "Thumbs Up" in front of you.

Move your thumb closer or farther away to see how diferent it looks to your whole range of vision.

Now go out an buy a $1500-$5000 Digital SLR or Film (LOL) SLR. (SLR = Single Lens Reflex)

Buy or rent a 500MM or more telephoto lens or get a telescope with a bayonet camera mount.

Go find a hill with a tree on top of it and stand below it with the moon in the background.

Do a spot light meter reading to the moon. Set the camera setting to Manual and use those settings for the F-stop and shutter speed.

Take a picture and frame it on your wall so your friends think you are an artist and not a peeping tom and put it next to your telescope pointed out the window.

Or photoshop 2 images sandwiched together.

Or buy a house on top of a hill overlooking the city and spend alot of time doing trial and error shoots of whatever and have fun with it. I do...

nice shot - im digging the moon light accent on the clouds - but only there around the moon.

Thats really kick ass
