Sun and moon close ups

Close up of the sun and the moon. Air force base in Richmond NSW (in the sky), and Katoomba NSW (on the ground). Casual, midday and sunset. Local excursion for “scenery”.

Wow, just wow. I love the pics! How do you get them to look like that?

Thanks!

Somewhat painstaking positioning using drone view to move back as far as possible then zooming in from that displaced drone position.

Because it needs to be zoomed in quite a bit, the trick is to get the moon, or sun, in a tight relative position to the other object. That takes trial and error with the date and time combined with getting the horizontal drone position right.

The angle with the sunset view is from a drone perspective while banking (on autopilot, of course, to keep from going crazy).

Anyone have a quicker way I wonder?

Wow, a lot of work, but definitely worth it eh?

At least once anyway.
