The Moon & New York City

I don't know whether to bring up thw whole 'cheat' argument again... Dave Lillis knows what I mean!

Cool shot Frank. I reckon the Moon could be brightened up a bit more myself. The trails in the traffic on the street etc are pretty neat.

oh man, :twisted:
seriously though, the image represents what you'd see if you were actually there, so thats good enough for me.

Thanks Seanie.
I had it a lot bigger and brighter but it made it look 'too' fake.

I was hoping to catch a yellow cab in the shot but I must have picked
the one street in NY they don't go down!

In essence I was trying to create an image whereby
the Moon in the composition looks about as big & bright as it did to me
when I took the shot due to the 'optical illusion' effect.
A sort of balance between the bright city lights and mother nature.

The 'cheat' argument is defunct for this kind of shot as far as I'm concerned.
It's art based on science anyway.

Funnily enough,
I was talking to one of my relations over there and was explaining how
we get the webcam shots of the planets & Moon.
First thing they said?
'Shur, Thats cheating!'
:roll:
I give up.
