Four moons


henrimanguy

For the part of the picture borrowed to the book, I just have scan it, crop it with the elements I wanted, and placed it as background. For the rest of the picture, it is the same photo than in the picture I have titled "the night", with more or less the same alterations (darkened for a night effect) plus add of a moon reflection in the stream.

There is probably many faults in this composite, but one point in

particular ask me a question : have I placed the reflection of the

upper moon in the good place into the stream ? There is certainly an

optics law that say where can be placed the reflection according to

the raising of the planet and to the height of the viewpoint, but I

don't know it. Is there someone who can answer ?

Cool idea. but, I don't think the reflection would be so clear with the tree branches in the way. I think the "moon" overhead might do it. I'm not sure, maybe someone has a better perspective.

I still like it.! 5/7

Thank you Elisabeth for your comments. I have placed the reflection in the area where, in the real photo (taken in day light), was the reflection of the real sky. So, if this reflection is at the good place, it could be so clear.

 

Correction to the image infos :

 

This composite is made from the same photo than in "the night" and a picture of four moons of Saturn, borrowed in a book titled "the Grand Tour, a travellers guide in the solar system" (1981), by Ron Miller and William K. Hartman, Paintings by Ron Miller. The four moons are, from the bottom to the top (or from the right to the left) : Rhéa, Thétys, Titan, Dioné.

 

For the part of the picture borrowed to the book, I just have scan it, crop it with the elements I wanted, and placed it as background. The view is inverted compared with that of the book which is supposing the four planets seen from Encelade, another Saturns satellite. For the rest of the picture, it is the same photo than in the picture I have titled "the night", with more or less the same alterations (darkened for a night effect) plus add of a moon reflection in the stream.
