In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo
In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo Back in June I described on my blog a trip I took where I'd focus on vertical day and night landscapes to enter into Outdoor Photographer magazine's Cover Photo contest: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-search-of-magazine-cover-photo.html Well, my new shots from that trip didn't win, but a star trails shot from a couple of weeks earlier in Yosemite National Park did! I hear it'll be the November cover, which should hit newsstands in a few shot weeks. I should have a cover mock-up to show you shortly. It's going to be Outdoor Photographer's best issue EVER! No, I don't know what will be inside yet, but the cover will rock, so they'd better make the rest good! I wonder if they'd consider not putting that big yellow title over my stars... Update 9/12 : Outdoor Photographer magazine has posted a copy of the October issue with an article on star trail photography: http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/sh...
Jared Mysko Did I miss something, who said "back side"? What's amazing is that the side of the moon not directly illuminated by the sun (which we are looking at here) becomes fairly bright, due to earthshine!
ReplyDeleteJared Mysko I´m not sure if I understood you when you mentioned the Pacific Ocean in this context? :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, he mentioned the night side. And thats the side not illuminated... Which does rotate every 28 days.
ReplyDeleteSemantic twists: "Dark side of the moon", certainly since Pink Floyd, has become to be understood as the "back side". We think of sides of circular shapes as front and back, like a coin, even though there is really no "side" whatsoever to a sphere. Dark 'area' might have not elicited that comment, but not nearly as button-pushing as 'dark side'. :)
ReplyDeleteI once did a piece of music called "Dark Side of the Sun", in a reference and further twist of the concept of 'dark side of the moon'.
Fantastic image !
how did you do it？
ReplyDelete詹姆斯邦德 wow ... Chinese character set names are very difficult to address using "+" ! ( I had to copy and paste the characters ). That shot of the moon is a long exposure of the moon illuminated by 'Earth shine' -- the light reflected from the Earth which faintly illuminates 'the dark side of the moon' (as it faces us between the Earth and the Sun )
ReplyDeleteOh My God！You are an astronomer
