Back in 2005, two Russian artists, Leonid Tishkov and Boris Bendikov, created their own “Private Moon” and used it to take these breathtaking photographs.
Photographers later did the same experiment with a giant star:

Cool, definitely. I like it.
Second to last is my favourite. Think there was greater potential than some of those executions, however.

dv: the “6 end” star you refer to is still a star. The Star of David IIRC.

LMAO at the “In soviet Russia, Moon lands on you” comment. Good series, at first I thought it was an actual image of a moon. Damn it, fooled again, but it wouldn’t make much sense anyways. Then again, that’s why I clicked.

O’m just wondering how exactly they made the moon and star. I’m assuming this isn’t ‘shopped art. However even if it is it’s still beatiful.

Technically that six pointed star is not a Mogen David. You should be able to follow a straight line from one point to a point across from it. Basically it is two equilateral triangle stacked together. If you look at this star you can follow a straight line to the midpoint between two points but there’s a slight angle to continue to the opposing point.
Personally, if it were a Mogen David I’d probably think it was cooler (and I’m not a Jew or of Jewish ancestry – as far as I know).

Oh, and it seems odd to me in the rowboat (second image) that the guy weighs more than the moon…. even if it isn’t fulll…..

How did you get the moon to light up? Did you use LED lights or what? I want one!!! How much?????

These are marvellous! My favourites are “Sleeping with the Moon” and “Apples for the Moon”. “Bringing the Moon on a Sleigh” is also just wonderful. Would love to have these as prints for a little girl’s room!
