Hunting for the harvest Moon

First off let me say this first image is FAKE, and when editing it I could have done a lot more work on it to make it look less fake, but I wanted to make it obvious it was fake so there is no misconception of it being real.

and I will explain why it is fake and why I did this composite after I share it

OK now for the story, when I went out this morning the weather app said not many clouds, so I grabbed my big Lens the Sony 150-600mm Lens, a big and heavy lens (over 2KG) so its not one I take with me all the time I only grab it when I think I may have a use for it, and a full moon was a good reason to take it.

I had the idea to go to Fort Taber park again and had the hope of getting a shot of the moon as it was heading down to set behind the fort.

First off I took a couple of shots of the moon itself here is one of them

This I took before heading out to the Park, still dark and I couldn't detect any clouds ion the sky.
But by the time more light came pout at the park, I noticed a few clouds coming in, initially not to many and the moon was popping in and out of the clouds, so I still had hope to get the shot I wanted

Here is a shot of some cloud obscuring part of the moon

But more clouds came in and the moon was hidden completely, when it was at the spot and height i was waiting for.
Here is the originally shot of the fort itself, the moon hidden behind the clouds.

So when I got home I decided just for fun to make the composite image I started with adding the moon , changing the sky to the fort shot

And to finish off a non fake shot of the last I saw of the moon on Thursday Morning before the clouds hid it away
