I wanted to get a classic snow geese picture flying in front of the moon without inserting the moon via photoshop. Well, I kind of did it: If I got the lighting on the geese right, the moon looked like a white circle- no good. So I got the exposure on the moon right. The problem is that the noise in the dark blue sky was horrible. So I picked the color of the sky and just filled the sky in with the that color. So it still doesn’t meet the purist test but I still like it.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
