Pillars of Creation

Newest titanium print! It's of a region in the Eagle nebula, originally captured by the Hubble telescope. Space seemed like a cool place to explore a little more of the colorspace available in this process. Plate is 12"x18", image is ~9.5"x14".

I'm really happy with how this one came out, the background 'sky' is a gradienting deep iridescent blue, and the nebula itself hits some cool magentas, yellows, and a bluish-green that can't make its mind on what color it wants to be depending on angle and lighting.

Nice, dig the look of it! You say iridescent blue, so does it have a sort of shimmery look in-person?

Thanks! That's exactly it on the color, I think it's a combination of the surface roughness of the titanium plate and tiny variations in the anodization layer itself that give it that look.

Thank you! For every good print I post here there are 2-3 failed attempts. But the successfully ones are getting cooler and cooler so I'm still stoked!
