One of the greatest challenges as a photographer is, I think, getting a decent image of the moon. Here is my latest effort, a carefully timed and edited image of a full moon.
Or is it? Well, actually no it isn’t! I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but it is in fact a large model of the moon which I photographed on a recent visit to the Science Museum in London.
The Science Museum is notoriously busy but with no one else around, I had a clear shot at the model so managed to get this picture. I then did some enhancements and the image above and this was the result. I mean come on, you’d have done the same, right?
As a comparison, here is the straight out of camera version. You can see the edits I’ve made.
This was fun to take and edit. I hope you like…and did you guess it wasn’t actually the moon?

I love photography like this.
Well edited photos of objects that fool the imagination.
????????
Very kind of you to say so Damion! Thank you, it was a fun pic to edit.
I can’t get a decent moon photo for the life of me
Oh it’s very difficult Carol, especially a full moon because it’s east to underestimate how bright the full moon is. Anyway, the model was ideal to photograph for that reason.
I have never got a decent photo of the moon, ever!
Well done on this one even if it was at the Science Museum. Very impressive x
The moon is a tough photographic subject Kim, a model is much easier!
Wow the detail of the moon is incredible x #mysundayphoto
Thanks Sam, the detail really did come out. . . albeit only in model form.
The moon pics come overexposed most of the time. Some bit of editing always helps as in this case. Well done!
I didn’t guess it wasn’t the real moon! I know plenty of people can take very good photos of the moon, but I am definitely not one of them.
The edits do make a real difference.
Love this John. I’d never of guessed it wasn’t the real moon
