Later, in Athens, I saw the opportunity to make a double exposure of the scene of the moon and a shot of the Parthenon. The film in the magazine was rewound and loaded into the camera again. I selected a camera position which gave a view of the Parthenon framed in trees and which allowed a clear sky for the image of the moon. The second shot was made in the daylight, with a three inch lens and a red filter. The exposure was //5.6, and the camera was running at twenty four frames a second. The result is crude, since anybody would realize that the shot is unnatural. Nevertheless, it provided an effective insert in a travel scenic study. In making pictures of the moon, the best method is to study the location of the prospective scene several days before the time of near full moon. Note where the moon rises on the horizon and select a camera position that will give an effective composition. Bear in mind that, each succeeding day, the position of the moon will vary slightly.
