Temple of the Moon, a photo from Bristol, England

Photographer's Note

I continue my reportage from the installation titled 揗useum of the Moon�, which I had the chance to admire while visiting the Bristol Cathedral. The central composition is probably the most obvious choice here. The model of the Moon simply hangs above the central nave, and it is much less confusing and slightly less surprising than in the previous photo:
https://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo1598636.htm
Also due to the wider view the size appears smaller and the effect is less overwhelming as in the previous photo.

Museum of the Moon is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram.
Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon抯 surface.
Over its lifetime, the Museum of the Moon will be presented in a number of different ways both indoors and outdoors, so altering the experience and interpretation of the artwork. As it travels from place to place, it gathers new musical compositions and an ongoing collection of personal responses, stories and mythologies, as well as highlighting the latest moon science.
The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones. Each venue also programmes their own series lunar inspired events beneath the moon.

Oi Mariuz,

Desculpe o portugues mas fica mais rapido para escrever e meu ingles n鉶 � muito fluente. Linda foto esta meu amigo. Voc� escolheu um excelente POV para esta bela fotografia. O piso � bonito e noz conduz ao astro principal que � a lua. E a lua est� muito bem detalhada e bonita.

Belo trabalho

Ricardo

Hello Mariusz,

I have to agree with your notes, though this is a fine photograph, with the moon accessed by a guiding pathway, and is framed by the blue lights, the surprise and the mystery is absent. But, all photographs cannot possibly have the same magnitude!
Nevertheless, this photograph is still worth our attention and 2 points.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Mariusz,
A very good symmetrical composition with this view down the aisle of the church and the blue pillars on either side. The large moon looks impressive in the middle.

Hi Mariusz,
another good and so impressive photo of this moon in the church, well photographed, photogenic perspective, nice result with these well captured blue light, tfs.

ChrisJ (171884) 2021-10-15 23:47

Hello Mariusz,

This is still an impressive photo with the same mysterious blue light bathing the interior of the cathedral as in yesterday's upload. Good sharpness and the circular moon dominates the bg. Tfs!

GyurMaster (24840) 2021-10-16 2:56

Hello Mariusz,

Again, its a very good and at the same time a bit surrealistic photo. :)

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Fajna symetria i kolory. Ksiezyc zajmuje centralna pozycje w kadrze i nawet otoczony tym ogromem architektury ciagle wydaje sie duzy. Podoba mi sie tez to, jak uchwyciles reakcje ludzi - wszystkie glowy podniesione w kierunku tego niezwyklego widoku. Jest tez i "lady in red". :-)
Pozdrwienia z Marrakeszu, nie dostalam twojej wiadomosci, wyslales przez TE?? Ja niestety juz jutro wyjezdzam. Zycze udanego urlopu!
Robiac wieczorne zdjecia, dwa razy spotkalam sie z tym, ze powiedziano mi, ze nie wolno uzywac w Maroku statywu (m.in zachod slonca w Essouirze). Ale np. wczoraj w Marakeszu, fotografujac o zmroku na placu przed glownym meczetem nie mialam zadnych problemow. Mam nadziej, ze uda ci sie zrobic troche twoich ulubionych zdjec blue hour. :-)
Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Kasia

Hello Mariusz,
The purple illumination within the big hall of the church, with the "moon" dominating the sceen - makes an imposing exhibition.
A unique idea, superbly presented on your photos.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

Pozdrav.

Lep pogled, interesantan i dobar teskt ...
Lep enterijer i detalji, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, persprektivom i uhvacenim trenutkom sa posetiocima.
Dobar rad, lepa fotografija.
Lep deo muzeja sa maketom meseca.

Zelim vam lepo popodne, sve najbolje.
Paja

Hello Mariusz, the blue lights give a very dramatic effect, and I like the way that the blue light is reflected on the floor of the cathedral.
The symmetrical presentation works really well with just the people positioned randomly throughout the scene.
You were obviously impressed with this exhibition.
I will have to keep an eye open to which places it is likely to visit.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Mariuz,
This is mindblowing! So totally unexpected. The moon is big and extremely well detailed. Also blue lights and motion blur of people strengthen the mysterious feeling.

PaulVDV (62978) 2021-10-17 8:44

Hello Mariusz,
Of course we recognize in the photo the interior of a church or cathedral.
But the large moon reminds me more of a scene from a future movie.
You have chosen a correct point of view. The lunar outline fits perfectly into the lines of the cathedral's arches.
The many floor tiles in different colours and the distances between the spectators give good depth to your photo.
The blue lighting is nicely reflected on the sides of the floor.
Best regards, Paul

Here the gotic lines in blue are framing the moon adding a more surrealist mood to the compo. Nice inclusion of the woman in fg.

Hello Mariusz,
This is another great scene. I like the symmetry of this composition, and the woman with the red top taking a photo in the foreground. There are even some ghostly figures created by the long exposure.

BennyV (34748) 2021-10-29 7:47

An impressive view, movement blur on the people, even a bit on the photographer up front:) Poetic imagination! The kind of place I'd love to visit.

Benny

Hello Mariusz,
I like this view even better. The moon fits right in the arch of the cathedral.
