Pretty cool….. Thanks +Mike Wiacek Originally shared by +Mike Wiacek So Restoration Hardware has these cool prints of the moon. (http://goo.gl/QhS00h) The downside? They are $355 EACH – and there are 6 of them. 🙁 OUCH! They have a cool super contrasty look to them. I wanted to see if I could get something similar to that on my own. NASA makes TONS of amazing images available to the public free of charge. I found some high res TIFF images of the moon courtesy of "NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio". I processed them using the +Nik Collection by Google. Specifically using Silver Efex Pro 2 – to get the cool effect similar to the Restoration Hardware images. I've merged them into one giant pano which I'm providing here.

I will say this – if you follow me and are a real person with real want to make a better G+ with good posts and great content – let me know in a private message and heck I might even follow you back…. Seems like we need to do a bit of culling of the followers that are not really people here to make this place better.. I sure hope we do not lose the great conversation here based on diluted followers .. or maybe its our long term citizens to block the bad ones and hope Google is weeding them out also….  

I will never complain about new followers but is it just me or has the number of real people that are following diminished greatly lately? I am sure everyone one of these in the screenshot are totally real and will bring tons of great conversations to G+ – but some sure look a bit sketchy 🙂 I will say this – if you follow me and are a real person with real want to make a better G+ with good posts and great content – let me know in a private message and heck I might even follow you back….  Seems like we need to do a bit of culling of the followers that are not really people here to make this place better..  I sure hope we do not lose the great conversation here based on diluted followers .. or maybe its our long term citizens to block the bad ones and hope Google is weeding them out also….

+Frederick Van Johnson this might be a good item for +This Week in Photo (TWiP) or maybe an interview of +Daniel Treadwell the developer.

If you have not had a chance to take a look at +Fotostat it might be a solution you can use as a heavy Social media user or simply as a Photographer that is looking to streamline their workflow for Social. +Frederick Van Johnson this might be a good item for +This Week in Photo (TWiP) or maybe an interview of +Daniel Treadwell the developer.

Thus is just cool…. No matter what the words say… Originally shared by +StarTalk In 2014, May new moon falls on May 28From EarthSky: Few, if any, people around the world can expect to see the moon before sunrise or after sunset on May 28, 2014. It is the day of the new moon, the day on which the moon crosses from the morning to the evening sky, and the sun and moon reside on the same side of Earth in space. Today, the moon pretty much rises with the sun at sunrise, crosses the sky with the sun during the daytime and sets with the sun at sunset.
