My whole idea was to create something very alien feeling from familiar things. The landscape was actually photographed during a nice winter day, the moon was shot last summer and with some “slight adjustments” and combining them together at least I got that alien feeling here.

This was one of my first creative photos where I did lots of post-processing in order to get the effect I was looking for. The phot was taken a cold winter night, the structure you can see are the branches of a tree. The black mist is the smoke from me exhaling in front of the camera just as the photo was taken.

In post-process I have colorized it green then inverted the dark areas for the bright ones. The smoke and branches are therefore brightly lit by the flash in the original picture but turned dark in post-process. (more…)
