Let me swing among those stars

On Jupiter and Mars”

Beautiful Rachael and who doesn’t love that song ! . is the photo a composite?? if not it’s extraordinary!
Thanks, Helen. I did think of posting a Youtube link to Frank singing it but I am never quite sure enough about copyright. I probably shouldn’t say 😉 but it is two photos taken seconds apart as, when the plane reached the moon, that cloud you can see to the right had covered both. It was taken with a 10mpx camera and a 300mm lens at full stretch so it is a hefty crop.
I’m impressed that you can even blend 2 photos !! It’s a great shot whatever way you did it !
Wonderful shot and edit. I love that song, made me smile as you have me humming it now 🙂
Thanks, Karen. I have it well and truly ‘on the brain’ now too 🙂
So cool!
Thanks!
You have an amazing talent Rachael! Another beautiful photo – great blend of the two!
Thank you, Ann. It was fun to do.
Great image. Is that the recent “Supermoon”? As for YouTube links, if there are copyright issues for posting a link, myself and several blogging friends are in serious trouble!
Thanks. I am probably just being silly. In a past life I was a lawyer and I can’t completely shake the paranoia! Plus, as my teenage son pointed out to me this week, I was not brought up in the digital age and although I have done very well (imagine patronising tone) I still have a lot to learn. 😉
That is such a great shot Rachael – love the comp.
Thanks, Barbara. BTW, do you prefer Barbara or Bee? 🙂
Amazing, this is truly a good photo, even if it is a composite.
Thanks, Kevin. It was also one of the most relaxing photo shoots ever, sitting on the comfy swingseat in our garden aiming my camera at the huge daylight moon and snapping away.
Oh, one of my favourite songs! And the picture is perfect! Just recently lost my Mum who loved Frank Sinatra, she would really appreciate this picture xx
I am glad you like it. I am sorry for your loss.
