I don't think this is in the spirit of APUG. Perhaps you will find greater favor in DPUG

did you do a combination print? this is very nice !

Nice work!

Dear all,There is no digital, photoshop at all! it is Purely analog photography from beginning to the end.first you prepare first print how you will print then you decide where you print moon or whatever. Main thing is that both places have to be the same tonality and in my photo it is completely black which make it easy to photomontage.At the beginning you print moon on your paper covering rest of your paper, later you change film negative and print the photo by covering moon this time and its around. While doing these you get sweat...Of course you must have several moon photographs as stock for this purpose .Dear Bruce, before photoshop age, Jerry Uelsmann did magnificent prints. I kindly remind.Thank you for your compliments to you all.best regards, Sevki Umit Ozgen

Nice combination and it works quite well. I used to do this years ago. I was inclined to use Kodak HIE Infrared film which gave black skies into which I would print the moon. Like you I exposed the moon negative first, I then placed a small coin over it and changed to my main negative. Sometimes I had to alter the height of the enlarger and refocus through the red filter. As you said it is hard work and takes quite a while to print even one copy of the photo. Good luck with your efforts in the darkroom.

Dear Vincent,Thank you very much for your compliment.Umit

Looks excellent. I've picked up a couple of tips from reading your explanation and Vincent's postThanks

When you used the phrase " and added moon by photomontage to increase mood and drama," I thought of photomotage as a Photoshop program for importing elements of an image, something like cut and paste.It is dark and moody.
