Question

Something for the weekend - Part 76 - Fly me to the moon!

Hi

It's 50 years this year since man first stepped onto the surface of the moon. I watched a documentary, last week, on NASA's plans to send astronauts to the moon again by 2024. It showed artists impressions of what a base on the moon might look like with modern technology. Which got me thinking...........

I've produced a 3D render simulating the moon surface. Can you show us what it will look like when man/woman returns.

Anything goes as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to have a go - whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

When posting back your edited images please use jpeg and downsize to 1200px on the long side.

To download the image below in jpeg format with ICC color profile (sRGB) and without the forum scaling artefacts , right click and then use Save Image As /Save Target As (or similar depending on your browser).

Have fun

Dave

    NASA has made their images free for public use, btw. The "Most Popular" tab is slightly more interesting than the "Newest Uploads".

    Dave, I had to snap a pic of your lunar module when we were at Air and Space this morning. There are 55 more photos here: Lunar Module LM-2.

    I've just discovered something.  If you repeat a filter (Ctrl Alt F), then it goes right ahead and uses the previous settings for the last filter used.  But if you make the layer a Smart Object — even if it is a single raster layer with no relationship to what has gone before — this time when you repeat the last filter, it opens up the dialog window for that filter, so you can use different settings.  I have only done it the once with an Eye Candy filter, but it will probably work for other filters.
