The Father of Modern Astronomy

Thanks Tara & Laura on the collaboration for a very nice name of this piece.




The first shot gives you an idea of the physical distance between the Kopernick Sculpture and The Basilica. I created this piece to depict the irony/marriage or however you want to call it between church and science which as many of us know has not always seen eye to eye.



The first shot is the original unprocessed shot. the next 3 are renderings, which one do you prefer? (Click on the images to see full resolution)







The Kopernick Sculture was gift from the Polish-American community ot the city of Philadelphia in honor of Mikolaj Kopernick, considered to the the father of modern astronomy.

Enjoy the journey...

  1. Color glowing edges still maintains the astronomical components that give it the other worldly feel without distorting the steel framework. The blue offsets the dynamics, but makes it appear as if it were reflecting a body of water. The green is reminiscent of the inner-workings of a busy city photographed at night from an airplane, much like grid-work, but I really like the simplicity in the curves of the color glowing edges.
