Epic Cosmic Stuff

Rachel Jefferies Mixed Media Challenge found here:  https://oscraps.com/community/threads/2022-09-rachel-jefferies-september-mixed-media-challenge.36178/

I wanted to capture a shot of the harvest moon as it became full on Sept. 10th.  As it turned out, I took this picture on the 9th.  If it is not a full moon, I certainly cannot tell!  As it turned out, I’m glad I took this picture when I did because we were completely cloud-covered on the 10th and I would have missed getting a picture of the harvest moon at all!

My process:

I opened the solid black paper in PSE15.

I added the patterned paper and added blend mode Luminosity.

I used the invert filter to make the flowers in the patterned paper appear as stars in the night sky.

I added my moon photo and added blend mode Exclusion.

I cut out (erased) a circle in the patterned paper behind the moon to get rid of the flowers showing through the moon using a hard round brush at 100%.

From this point, I duplicated the photo, returned it to Normal blend mode, and added the required elements around the original copy of the photo.
