The largest Fine Art print in Finland
About three weeks ago I posted about my astronomical photo as a public artwork.
This very large, 10x3m, photographic print on aluminium was produced by a Finnish company Dialab.
They made an inquiry from the Finnish Museum of Photography about this print. The museum confirmed, that this is the largest photographic fine art print in Finland. The photo is located in main lobby of The "Oulu Region Joint Authority for Education" in Haukipudas
Cirrus of Cygnus
The largest fine art photo in Finland
The photo is printed on aluminium and it has a glossy finishing. This is the largest fine art print in Finland.
The size of the photographic prin is over 3 x 10 meters (= 10 x 33 feet) Even in that size, the image is very sharp, since the original image is in very high resolution due to mosaic technique used.

Yesterday was an opening ceremony for the new facilities of The "Oulu Region Joint Authority for Education" in Haukipudas. One of my images was selected there as a public artwork in a main lobby.
The Cirrus of Cygnus
A very large photographic print on aluminium, 3x10m
Even in that size, the image is very sharp, since the original image is in very high resolution due to mosaic technique used. An info board for the artwork can be seen next to the door at middle right.

About the photo
Click for a very large image, 3000 pixels wide and 4,5MB
R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
The image above spans about 15 degrees of sky horizontally, that's 30 fool Moons side by side in a sky!
There are nine panels seamlessly stitched together. Each panel has been shot three times for a color image by using emission line filters for Hydrogen, Oxygen and Sulfur. A camera lens, Canon EF 200mm f1.8, was used with a cooled astronomical camera, QHY9. Original image is about 20000 pixels wide . Total exposure time is around 90h.
The "Cirrus of Cygnus" is a part of a much large image of this area.
Note! a very large image, 2300 pixels wide and 4,7MB

Astro Anarchy gets published
My works are selected as a public content for a pedestrian zone in my home town Oulu, Finland.
There is a very large display unit at the end of the zone, 5.12 x 3.2 meters (over 16 x 10 feet). Four different sets of my astronomical photographs and animations are running there as a slide show, January 2014.
I have had my images in the same public screen before, January at last year. This time there is not only normal images but also my experimental 3D-work. The show will run at every 15-25 minutes or so and last about three minutes at the time.

I want to know
I WANT TO KNOW
I get inspired by a poster, seen in TV-series X-files.
(Mulder's poster hangs in the wall of X-files basement office.)
It turned out, that it was made just for the TV-series by the production team.
Images used in the "I want to know" poster above are shot by me.
