Wonderful Shot! And yes I too stress mILAN’s concern of sharing detail information on camera setting along with photo caption, which will help many to learn how to take beautiful night shots like this one.

@mILAN and Shutturbug
I took one shot with spot metering mode for the moon (lock n move) and another manual one (F/2.6, 1/2 secs, ISO200) and did the ‘exposure blending’ of two photographs with photomatrix.
Well, I’m just an accidental photographer and photography being my latest crush. Lot to Learn from you guys - but Loving it.
btw, being at that place in Buddha purnima at night was a wonderful experience.
Thank you Olisa for the whole idea.
@bishwa and MoonLover
you guys should have seen that night’s moon by your real eyes, I was not good enough to capture the whole beauty. May be next time with a good telephoto lens.
@Editor Life In Nepal
Won’t it be a good idea to provide camera setting information along with the caption and description in each LIN post?
