Music is moonlight

(click to view larger)


I am sure all of us have at some stage been mesmerised by a beautiful moon. The most beautiful moon I have seen was witnessed from the jetty at Ardrossan, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia.

It rose up from the horizon over the water as a huge orange full moon. Everyone just stood and watched it. It must have been a 'super' moon for it appeared so much larger than expected and I guess most of us don't get to see it right on the horizon. Once it had moved up into the sky it appeared as normal. Unfortunately I had just packed all my photography gear into the car so didn't catch it on camera.

The above image was made from a photo I took of our recent super moon shrouded in mist.



I have added a texture which I created and stamped with a 'window' PS brush I made from a photo of an old ruin window.


Blue Window

Aim for the Moon

While returning from a country drive on Saturday the Super moon was rising in the east. However it was covered with misty cloud and though it didn't exactly look very 'super' it did look quite nice.

I pulled over and took a photo of it with the tele lens.




I thought a little texture would suit it and chose a blue texture I have created since doing the Art of Textures course.



I've used 2 layers of this, one of soft light and one of screen, both with reduced opacities.

The result - Aim for the Moon



The font is called "Before the Rain" from www.dafont.com
