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.
