Experimental nominee

Multiple exposure taken on film using the Canon EOS 50 SLR. The first exposure was taken of the full moon with the goal for it appear in the appropriate position in the frame to later add the other elements of the theme. The moon sits in the sky as though it is lighting up the trees and at the same time highlighting the cross on the church in the image. A combination of lenses was used to make the image.
