Infrared-IR posted a photo:

Extremely rare occurance...

This is the sun rising over Hampton Roads harbor while a large harvest moon sets at the same time and vicinity. Taken late September or early October of 1998 in Hampton, Virginia. Those are buildings at the Norfolk Naval shipyard (across the harbor) partially obscuring the sun. Taken with an old Sigma 400mm Mirror lens, I still have the lens around here somewhere. Konica T3 Film camera, Reala 100 ISO Color Negative, Large Bogen Tripod.

To all the Nay-sayers..........you are correct!

This was actually done with the age old Film technique
where you shoot the Moon with the longest lens you have
when it is full. Placing it on an area that would
work wonderfully if it were in a scenic.
Shoot the whole roll the same, then rewind the film
into the canistier leaving the tail out.
Now mark on the canister the position of the moon
and place the roll in the freezer.

On another day, when your in the mood to make some scenics,
reload the Moon roll, and remember where the moon is from
your markings, now shoot the scenic that will now include
the Full moon....

When I first shot this (on color negative) my daughter was
a little girl in elementary school and she took one of
the prints to school to show her science teacher, who
was very upset at the thought that it was a single exposure
and explained to my daughter that the event depicted
was "Astronomically impossible"....


-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as most interesting.
