Man in the Moon

Oct 01, 2020,15:56 PM

Reviewing today's "photo shoot" of my Master Calendar, I was struck by this photo. The moon on the MC is highly reflective, and, in this photo, reflects the overhanging trees. I am really struck by how this reflection seems to captures the man in the moon! Pretty neat, I think. ;-)

Is that gold moon similar to hammered gold (I mean the visual effect, not the physical implementation)? [nt]

No -- the gold moon is completely smooth, and not textured -- either physically, or in appearance. Here's a photo that will give you a sense of that...

I would not have guessed that is was smooth like this [nt]

I know! Because it is smooth, it is constantly reflecting its surroundings. Very dynamic appearance! [nt]

Nice reflections despite a pure basic gold moon. Lovely watch. Cheers 👍 [nt]

Yes, the reflections always make the "moon" interesting and different. Thanks! [nt]

Meteorite and moons go so well together, awesome [nt]

Totally agree!

It's a perfect celestial combination -- a perfect use of a meteorite dial.

Nice shot, my friend. [nt]
