    Last night I was trying to get a shot of a church which looks great floodlit. I was trying to get the moon just above the spire in the shot. This was proving hard as it was always over exposed. any ideas in getting both in to the shot exposed correctly

    There is another way - stack a set of neutral grad filters together (depends a bit on the circumstance and time of evening).

    Here's a link (http://www.flickr.com/photos/monasette/302972088/) to a picture I took in Galway last year. To balance the moon and sea, I used 3 Lee filters (.3 + .6 + .9) sandwiched together.

    worked ok.

    was also going to mention something like that... but cheating involves less actual photographic knowledge :D

    I agree....to me dodging and burning is a form of 'cheating' too - all various ways of changing the appearance of an original photo....
