The Moon in Phases - A project

[swag72]

I really like coloured moons, but I'll buck the trend here. I prefer the first with the sun. For me, the sun pulls it all together nicely as it is the sun that provides the light afterall. I also think that the sun colour gives it something that I find a little lacking in the coloured moon shot

how about this type of presentation John ?

I knew there was something nagging at me about the image but I've only just figured out what it was lol

I've just noticed that you have a very small clockwise rotational error between 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock i.e the top moon isn't directly over the moon at the bottom.

Thanks guys.. I see what you mean Kev... I like it... I can sort that.. I've still got the 650Mb file with layers in... I used guidelines to line it all up too

Hmm I don't have an image with anywhere near the resolution to put in behind that way. Not at full scale at least.

for a high quality print you can consider using 150-200 ppi so even at 6000px x 6000px you could easily print the image out to 30" x 30". I think the final image would look brilliant with a 28 day clock mechanism behind it.

I managed to scale one moon image to fit behind at full resolution. Obviously it'll have lost some detail but as it's faded out, I don't think that'll be a problem, and as you say Kev, printed out smaller then full will help a lot. I've not had a chance to post it yet though. I agree Kev a clock mech would be great.

That looks amazing - the last image I think is spot on the Moon as the main focus be amazing to see full size - congratulations on the dedication involved

Thanks Rob.. I'm not sure I've got anywhere I can host a file that large...
