Moon IN Manhattan

This was a model of the moon at the American Museum of Natural

History's Rose Center; I shot it so that the background (upper right

corner) would be dark. Adding contrast in photoshop allowed me to

approximate space; I also desaturated the image to reduce the

reflection of a second source of lighting (center left). Then I

added faint stars in the "space" part of the image, to add

some "reality" to the photo...just a little fun in photoshop...!

Comments?

Cool idea, Rajesh. You may also have fun using it as an overlay texture ontop of another shot. :-)

Carol, what do you mean by "overlay texture ontop of another shot?" I'm not sure how to do that - could you explain?

Battlestar Galactica??

Excellent!

Fooled me. Good manipulation.

I like the image, it feels like a scene from the silent movie "A Trip to the Moon". The stars are pointless (pun intended) in this small jpeg. I really dislike the border, it's far too strong a graphic shape for the image.

Do you realy need a frame for the moon?
