How does one take pictures like that? I saw another one like it recently:

Don’t know about the camera, but you will need Adobe Photoshop at some point in the process.

You use a long zoom lens and have the subject (bicyclist) at a distance to make the background (Moon) look large.

Right place. Right time. Very expensive camera with a very expensive telephoto lens. ;)

I recently upgraded to a Single Lens Reflex Canon SX530HS and while I’m still learning to use it, it’s already blowing my mind! Do I NEED to see every little hair on a bee’s bottom? Why, yes! Yes I do!

It gets great ratings anywhere you want to look. About $350.00. It was a Birthday Gift from Beau this year, though I’ve been ‘shopping’ for it for about 5 years, not wanting to give up my Canon PowerShot A590, which is losing it’s zip and eating batteries, weekly. ;)

Long telephoto or zoom lens.

That’s it, that’s all, no darkroom or computer tricks.
