It was a bit livid actually when I took this picture. This is just a quickie.

should never image while your mad bert ;) :P
the usual awesome work I see - loved all your work so far- I laughed for about a day (am still occasionaly chuckling) when i think of it, when I saw your pic of printed A1 pics on your wall, that just blows me away (they looked like malin posters), the astro 5D results just make me laugh its so ridiculously good and beyond good.

Fantastic photo of one of my favorite regions of the sky. Very well done, Bert!

I was not mad or livid, it was a joke and a play on the word wild, David Malin is one of only few of my heroes. He invented shadow masking back in the sixties and perfected it in the seventies. He used to make a mask photographically with an out of focus image from the original . Then he used that to modulate the original image so the poor dynamic range of the photographic print showed all the detail of the negative.He did all this in a photo lab with 16 inch originals.
