Cogs at the edge of the universe by sabresun

Cogs at the edge of the universe

Aka Space Oddity.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
- C. S. Lewis
this is really cool! i almost didn't notice the little people there! but why is there no story to go with this?

@laurentye I don't know. I may add one later though. I need to think on it. I was listening to early David Bowie while I was doing this so I think it may have influenced me (Starman, Life on Mars, Space oddity etc)

@sabresun i probably should admit although i know the name David Bowie, I have no clue about his music. Maybe i should be looking it up on youtube now.

How have you done this , it's amazing !! Just thought it was some cogs til I looked closer !!
December 5th, 2011  
Oh yes, a clever shot Matt. I like this.

@laurentye Oh, he's written many classic rock/pop tunes. You definitely should check him out.

@happypat The cogs are from a canal lock. The figures pasted in from something else. The rest is clone stamp jiggery with photoscape ( a free program) which is the only editing software I have.

I think your little figures have stepped out of Gulliver's Travels. But wherever they're from it's a wild, strong shot with heaps of imagination behind it. I really like it.

Definitely a cool shot! I love the composition and color tones.
December 6th, 2011  
Really cool!!!

This is awesome, Matt!!! I love it! I wish I knew how to edit like this! You mentioned Starman. They filmed parts of it in my area. They actually did some filming where I was living at the time, but the scenes didn't make it into the movie. Fav! :0)

Nice photo! Great idea...so cool!

Very cool shot. Love the processing.
December 6th, 2011  
very cool I love the people in it ... to me it has a steam punk vibe
December 6th, 2011  
Ahhh, another Matt-style edit! I love it:) I particularly like the clouds in the lower right hand corner!

Love the little extra details. Yearning for a story to go with to top that elephant saga. :)

This is pretty flippin' cool!

This is awesome! Looks like the cover of a novel or a movie poster, very creative

I heard Major Tom on the radio the other day. Synchronicity! This is a very cool shot! I love how the sharp edges of the cogs are softened by the clouds and light.

So cool...they caught my eye right away. It looks like the kid is throwing something at 'the machine'.
