so that get the perfect blend of light and shadow, McCarthy spent two weeks photographing the waxing moon.
These images were then sliced and blended together for this final look at the moon.
McCarthy wanted to get enough slices of the lunar terminator for create the texture he was after.
This is why he needed to continually take photos while the moon was waxing.

While McCarthydescribesthe work as exhausting, we’d say the final product is well worth it.
