Lyn Buchanan Loc: Alamogordo, New Mexico

I got sick and tired of working, so took some time out for some art. No brilliant ideas came, so I got my camera out and..... oops... lockdown... can't go out and take pictures. So, I rummaged around on Pixabay.com (non-copyrighted pictures) to find any picture that was interesting, and came onto a picture of an observatory. I took that picture and cut out the observatory to use it as a foreground. I then got a picture of Saturn (also free to use) to use as a background. Then, I brought up 3D graphics program called Bryce and made a mountainous terrain to put between them, adjusted the lighting, hues, contrasts, and other features to make them all mesh together well. Then, in post processing, I used Gimp to hand-dabble the obviously 3D generated terrain to make it look hand-painted. It is a small amount of work, but it beats standing in Titan's noxious atmosphere with a camera trying to get a good shot, and besides - it got my mind off work and off-world for a while. I may start looking back through photos of my own to see what I can do with them, as well. Felt good to be creative for a while.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing it and the ideas it generates with us. I for one needed a new way to create.

This would have sold well in the 1960s as a far-out poster for teen bedrooms, similar to a lot of Pete Turner's work! I like it.

Excellent

That's very nice!! I see you are from Alamogordo. Surely you can do White Sands and maintain social distancing? I love that place and now is the perfect time of the year with clear/dark skies and very few people.

It's a nice image, but I don't think there are observatories on Titan. Not yet, anyway.

That would definitely be a wonderful sight.
