To capture the water in the foreground without blurring took a fairly high shutter speed, but the moon and the water were so bright, it worked out ... with a LOT of burning and the like.

Gotta love digital. You can take 20 pix of the same thing if you want ... and pray one of them is a usable image.
Biker395, thank you for the photo info. The picture is even more amazing because it was taken with a pocket camera instead of a high tech DSLR. I agree with you, digital cameras are great in that you can take dozens of pictures of the same subject and see the results right there and then...and not worry about the cost of film and developing.
