52 Week Challenge- HDR

I'm not quite sure I did this correctly. I went outside last night and took 5 shots of the moon, bracketing them plus 1 or minus 1 with each shot. I then merged all the photos together and tweaked the contrast at the end. I think that's how HDR is done- I hope so, because I don't have hdr in my camera!

August 18, 2017 #19 in the Top Twenty of Week 367!

@olivetreeann - i'm in shock that you haven't been in the TT all this time! or maybe you were, we just didn't know about it! :-)

@summerfield As far as I know, I've only made it there one other time- and that was a moon shot too!
