Beyond the Optical Galaxy (Explored)
The conclusion is inescapable that non-luminous matter exists beyond the optical galaxy. ~Vera Rubin
I created this particular shot with the idea of making something so mundane into something filled with wonder. I feel like It was a success!
This shot was taken in a small puddle of ditch water that has overflowed into the grassy area of our park after a recent rainstorm. It was a simple everyday location that kids and adults alike walked past or avoided. It just looked messy and muddy. I on the other hand got there at golden hour as the sun reached a low angle in the west. The reflections of the sun off the broken puddle made for a rich bokeh swirl.
This astronaut figure has been my favorite to shoot lately because it lends to a bit of wonder and mystery. I can create without any bounds to reality as we know it. I sloshed out a bit into the puddle and knelt down to setup the shot. I pushed the astronaut down and it kept floating so I had to take off the helmet and fill with water. I left one arm up reach through the water with the intention to turn the image 90 degrees for the shot you see above.
I then edited in a stark black & white with some blueish space hues. I’m really happy with the results. A simple everyday puddle has become a wondrous image to ponder over.
