After getting my first three moon shots I started to think about how I will display my images and what I want to create with them. Using Pinterest I researched into some unusual ways of how I could showcase the piece.
This piece really stood out for me, the alignments are super accurate which makes it crisp and aesthetically pleasing. This is definitely a technique I could use to display my moons. However, the I so far have not got a photo of the moon for each day so my lunar cycle will be a lot more shorter. This piece has also made me realise that I need to decide on which phases I will be displaying - it might be the case of getting as many photos as I can and then picking out a selected array of moons that match and feel cohesive.
The way in which the moon colours reflect the amber/orange flares of the city lights below works really well. The colour palettes between the moon and the cityscape match, which creates a sort of mirror/reflection vision that is also rather subtle.
I think maybe editing in some colour to the moons might be interesting and to maybe incorporate so landscape/city/night time photography to lay underneath the moons might be a really interesting prospect.
From looking at the way in which some photographers and artists display their moon work I decided just to line my current moon photographs up together to get a perspective on which alignment or display/structure could work best. I will probably continue to experiment with this as I continue to take photos and research into other possibilities of a design outcome.
Similar to the coloured moon photography, this uses a similar design strategy of layering on colour. However, in this case its Nebular, which are vast clouds of particles and compounds formed in deep space. A lot of these photos are taken by Nasa. I constantly follow their feeds on Instagram and Twitter and they display a lot of high-tech photography from their hubble telescopes etc...
However, this is not achievable, so instead I could possibly create some water colour painting or some gradient digital art to layer onto of the moons.
Taking it one step further, screen printing my moon designs could be a possibility. Especially with a metallic silver ink to contrast with a grey/black to represent the craters.
