I love the title. It izs the lander and the beach is the moon. Maybe NASA didn't really go... You could add the moon walkwers witrh a touch of PS. It is too sharp to be the Apollo images, oh well, such is modern optics. I will never again look at a lifeguard stand the same again. :)

Yes I agree about the NASA lunar landing. I was thinking this was a PS job of sort because it does look like it's from "another world". Love it!

Congrats on the EC Steve.
I keep coming back to look at this photo (it's been in my favorites since the day I wrote the favorites feature for Usefilm) ... I was looking at it in the slideshow mode, and I just love it.
It COULD be a lunar lander, but it really is just a beach lifeguard station... Love the black sky, the luminescent waters.. Perfect exposure.

It's very good but I wonder if the novelty factor is pushing the rating up, rather than the actual quality, other than the mood and lighting, of the photograph. Sharper would be more dramatic - unless my monitor is taking detail away. Good job.

When this image was uploaded, Usefilm had an image limit of 450 pixels and 100k file size. Yes, I wish it was uploaded now with the currently allowed image quality.
This picture is hanging on my wall at 12" x 12" and it's razor sharp, edge to edge.

Steve,
I return to look at this image regularly - it is one of the images I use as a benchmark for what I'd like to achieve with one of my weakest photographic areas - truly understanding black + white.
Your comments and forum posts are valuable, if you move on as your forum post suggested, you will be sorely missed.

PS Is there any way I can get a print of this image in the UK? chris.moore@panasonicmobile.co.uk

I think this is a great long exposure photograph. The crispness of the lander is quite remarkable considering the available lighting and the long shutter speed.
The dark, expansive sky works really well to make the subject leap off in front of you and i think it is extremely expressive but subtle.
