Moonrise

    Moon rising over Copacabana.
    Taken 5 minutes after sunset (the Sun was setting behind me),
    you may notice sun lit sky reflecting from the balconies.
    I positioned myself approximately 1000 metres away,
    looking towards Copacabana from MacMasters Beach.

    Central Coast, NSW, Australia

    And to answer those questions : no, the Moon was not added, this is a single exposure.
