The shots look great! But....how can the moon be so big in the picture? Has the picture been processed?

Anyways, nice thread you have started here. Wouter, your shot of the stadium chairs is brilliant! Very nice pattern. I love it when this comes out of very straightforward things.

Here's a few old ones

I don’t think these the pictures have been processed. The reason for the moon being so big in these photos is because the pictures were made using a long-focus lens (telelens). Probable a 400mm lens or even bigger.

I also think these pictures have been post processed, but so what, they look great and all the pics whe see in the magazines have been processed in photoshop.

Oh, but don't get me wrong, I think photo processing is part of the whole process.
I was just thinking about whether you could really get the moon so big on your photo, whether zooming in had created that picture. I have no experience (yet) with zoom lenses, but I am certainly intrigued.

Well it could be, sometimes in the afternoon the Moon is pretty big. But the combination with the plane is almost impossible, it would be very difficult to catch them both in one picture. And after looking at the photo again you can see that the surface of the moon (landscape) is diffrent in both pics. I don't think that makes sence

The combination moon and plane is plausible. I have some similar pictures. Made 10 years ago using a 300mm lens, unfortunately these pictures are slides…so don’t ask me to proof it… . Because I used only 300mm the moon is not this big.

After bringing family to Schiphol Airport at 4 in the morning I noticed the moon was very big. I found a spot near the runway where I could catch the moon and landing planes in one frame. Because the landing planes use a predictable rate of descend and the moon moves very slow it was not difficult to find a position were the planes and the moon came “together”.

I don’t know if the pictures are authentic but using a very big lens I think it is possible...
