Dang, that's awesome. Great capture.
Thank you!
Wow, I agree with Guy. That's a nice shot, Jupiter and Saturn notwithstanding. Love the glow of light on the left side of the tree.
By the way, if you have never looked at Jupiter or Saturn through a decent telescope, I highly recommend it. Both will take your breath away, especially Saturn. Prime opportunities for both later this summer.
Thank you!
Beautiful composition and light!
Thank you!
Great capture.
Thank you!
this is AWESOME! I totally love it!
Thank you!
Great image, Steve! The light, and that soft glow around the planets create a great atmosphere. Straightening the horizon by correcting lens barrel distortion in your software would improve the image for me.
Thanks Chris. Believe it or not I pulled a guide line down in PS. Its pretty straight. I think it's just an illusion. But I struggled with that
I was referring to the horizon's curvature, Steve, due to distortion intrinsic to the lens. Here is your image with a horizontal line added, and you can see the horizon sags in a curve. Next is the corrected image, followed by a screenshot of the processing to get the best correction I could achieve, including a very slight rotation. Your lens has mostly barrel distortion (bulging outwards), but there's a degree of "moustache" distortion (a more complex curvature). The former and its opposite, pincushion distortion, are pretty well fixable in "post", but the latter cannot be entirely fixed with the simple tool I am using here.
Thanks Chris for pointing that out. I actually posted the wrong edit. But thanks
Steve, in case you don't know, you can edit your
own post. You can certainly add an image, and I think you can swap the main one. I can delete my comment here, and all the related comments, like yours & mine now, will disappear.
Stunning light and capture :)
