I wasn't deliberately looking for the most obscure object I could find! Honest! It was snowing hard this morning (first day back at school after half-term and the boys were very disgruntled that their schools weren't closed!) so I was searching for something outside in the snow. This was a birthday present from my husband/boys a few years ago and sits in the garden in case I ever need to pop out and check the alignment of the stars...
How did you do that fireworks effect in the center of the astrolabe, are those shrubs? Love the photo, but I also really like the astrolabe and would love to see more of the garden around it.
Hi Bettina - yes the 'fireworks' in the middle are shrubs - there's a kind of overgrown yucca thing there. I fiddled around with zoom focus in Piknic to try and blur them out a bit because they looked so straggly - my garden is a mess in the winter - and the fireworky-movement effect was just a lucky accident from doing that - I liked the way it gives a sort of celestial effect, following the arrow up into the sky
