Wow, you instantly took me back 10 years to when I lived in Nihon (Nagoya, Toyama)... thanks for the memories.
Wooooow.. (Gazes eyes wide open). So clear...I wish I could take such clear, detailed pictures of the stars, but to be honest I wouldnt know where to start.40D and 200mm telescope
Triangulum Galaxy
Thanks Very much Fuzzy14 & Marclapierre .
The whole process for this photo was as follows
Shot using Pentax K10d on Tripod with 18-55mm using Nd8 Grad filter and Circular polariser,
Downloaded using Aperture with slight adjustment to contrast and saturation but large adjustment to white balance. Then slight modification to curves applied to RGB in Photoshop.
No other work done
Wow, not to much work done, it turned out great. And great camera too...
PS: Id love to see the original too...if its buried in your flickr ill find it, im going to search now hehe.
It's very powerful. It has a lot of depth and a good balance between dark/light and left/right.
well done.
Fantastic shot... beautiful. I've enjoyed doing night shots of Lake Windermere, but I've yet to get anything half as good as this. You must be really happy with it...
lake shot
I like the shot I got, but I am struggling with the deep color detail (see lower portion of lake). Shooting RAW in the past, I have had no problems pulling details out of dark areas like this, but the Nikon system seems to have a bit of trouble in that range. Prints fine, more than acceptable, but in certain cases when post-producing for web, I have nothing to work with in dark or shadow areas. frustrating. trying some different RAW in-camera settings.
