It's a composition of 3 photos.

2 of them at 30 second exposures, me at the base of the windmill on one side setting off a flash, and the same the other side.
They were taken with the kit lens.

The third photo is just of the moon at either 1/5 or 1/10 of a second with a 55-250mm lens.

Add the layers together in photoshop using Screen blending so it ignores the black and then flatten before saving as a jpeg

Blending with one of the burn settings gave the moon a nice sepia tone, but made it a little too "subtle" in the background and unnatural.
Experiment with resizing the moon as too small and it loses impact, too large and it just looks wrong (in this photo anyway).
