This picture is 'pure art' because the story behind the scene - and the fuckin´ beauty... And to have this perception of 'pure art', and this kinf of 'understanding', is part of the beauty of being human... I´m feeling like a man walking on the moon... This adventure is living inside me, all the time...

"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
How the hell is this photo of the Moon even possible?
The image is by Switzerland-based photographer Philipp Schmidli, and came to our attention by way of Camilla Corona SDO (the intrepid mission mascot of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory), who writes:
It took a lot of preparations and planning to make this happen. He wanted to find the perfect hill, needed to know the precious location where the Moon would rise over the hill and then had to place his friend strategically to make this shot reality.
Schmidli writes on his blog that he spent months scouting out the perfect vantage point for this shot, conducting much of his reconnaissance with Google Earth and a handheld GPS.
You've surely noticed that the moon illusion is working overtime in Schmidli's photograph. To achieve this effect, he had to station himself more than 1000 meters away from his friend on the bike, and employ a staggering 1200 mm focal length. (Remember this epic footage of a New Zealand moonrise, captured back in January? Astrophotographer Mark Gee had to set up 2 kilometers away from his foreground subjects to achieve that shot.)
Schmidli's long telephoto configuration allowed him to exploit an effect known as perspective distortion, wherein distant objects look significant larger relative to their foreground counterparts (see here for a more detailed explanation). When it comes to photographing the Moon, most photographers will recommend using a 200mm+ telephoto lens for precisely this reason. Schmidli uses his setup to great (and jaw-dropping) effect.

- Carlos Leger Sherman Palmer This picture is 'pure art' because the story behind the scene - and the fuckin beauty...
- Stephen Gladstone @ Susy Crandall I think the beauty of this shot is that he did not use Photoshop and spent months of hard work to achieve this, it certainly makes me want to see more of his work and speaks volumes about the photographer.
- Monica Sharma love this... efforts paid very well... glad people are there who care about the beauty of universe !!
- Fred Scribner what an awesome pic it really serves to demonstrate how tiny and insignifigant people are compared to the many wonders of the universe
- Darren Wood @ Ron Clayton - the exposure time needs to be short when shooting a full moon - around 1/250 - so the bike rider could ride at normal speed
- Ron Clayton And how did they manage to have the biker hold still enough? I wonder how long the exposure had to be.
- Russ Haudan i would say a zoom lense,person on bike is on earth,telephoto zoom lenses can compress a image so much that a shot like this could be possible with a quality lense!!!
