Strawberry Moon is setting behind the mountains in the morning of June 30.

While this year's Strawberry Moon was a Micromoon, it was still pretty bright, and it was challenging to get the moon and the foreground correctly exposed. That is why the first photo is a composite of two exposures, while the second photo is a single exposure. For the second photo, I exposed for the foreground and let the moon get overexposed. But the first photo is closer to how it looked to the naked eye. For the first photo, I took two shots. One exposed for the foreground, another one for the moon. Then I combine them in Photoshop.
