Modeling Photo

2) Found photo on PBS website in news article about the moon

3) Modeling photo

4) I was really looking for a picture that can show the importance of shadows in revealing what an object or features look like. This picture of the moon’s surface has numerous craters, rocks, and bumps that are all highlighted by the light. The light is casting shadows in such a way that they reveal all the contours and shapes of the features in the picture. Any and every indent or bulge is highlighted and can be identified due to the presence of light and shadow. I like the picture because it is very deceptive in the realm of scale. In fact, the main crater is 19 miles across. The picture creates a feeling of insignificance when you realize the true size of what you’re seeing. The picture also creates a very desolate, lonely, and isolated feeling by the nature of the gray color and barren, rocky, landscape.
