Couple of evening I was trying to capture a full moon behind a building ( the architecture building in my alma mater with some greek architecture). My camera had difficulty adjusting to the light. either the moon got over exposed or the building wasn't visible. Maybe I can try what Steve Hennerly did with his picture of the moon in the clouds

Comments and Suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks for looking.
Thanks Taras. I took a peek at your portfolio and it sure has some remarkable shots of the moon and the night skies. Thnks for looking and taking the time to comment. I did notice that many had superimposed two photos (digital) or had double exposed (film) to capture the moon.
I think I shall head towards the beach on the first day of the waxing moon and try some photos then. Considering that the cresent would be as bright as the half or full moon, maybe I could get a few shots without super imposings two photos. Otherwise I shall be back in 14 days to capture it in full glory.
Most people create these shots with double exposures. The full moon is a sunny 16 (or 11) object, while the building at night is not a "sunny" object. Or you can try to capture the image just around sunset, when the nearly full moon is rising. This takes a bit of planning, and knowing when and where the moon will be at the right lighting conditions.
Shooting the moon is tricky, but you managed quite well. granted it's overexposed, but who says it cant be? Isn't photography art? And isn't art in the eye of the beholder. I like it.
