Luna Rising

Whew this was tough. After observing the moon out my front door for a few nights I decided to photograph Luna with it, of course forgetting that both the time change and the rotation of the earth would put the moon on the other side of my house by the time I finished drawing, coloring, and cutting her out! I spent all last night waiting for the moon to get in position, but it never did. I had to move to the backyard tonight.

Luna is made from paper. Her mane is glitter cardstock and the moonlight around her mane is tissue paper. She is illuminated by candlelight and this is a minute long exposure.

Of course it's starting to get warm in Florida so after an hour outside Luna began to get wobbly and damp, spoiling the last few shots. I think this is the best one.
