Hi All

I've been messing around with my Tarantula post from the other day ... I think this is better. I confess I've only done adjustments on the web image to see how it would go so it could potentially be better if I worked on the original file. Anyway ... what do you think ... I've reposted first version for comparison.

:thumbsup:

The repro looks a lot punchier! I like it... Keep your eye on the core though.. looks a little over cooked in the core...

I'd have a go at the original image if I were you... :)

Nice.

Agree with Alex,
punchier, better contrast but at a cost on the core
well worth a go on the original

Thanks Alex ... it is always difficult working on small images but I think I didn't do too bad with the core considering.

:thumbsup:



Cheers Frank ... the original will get a work over soon.

:thumbsup:



Thanks Kev, glad you like it !

:thumbsup:



Thanks Gary ... correct colours are usually a point of contention but I think they are right too based on other images I have seen !

Great work Steve. Dark skies are clearly the answer...I like the second image out of the two. Not sure what you've done with the stars on this repro. They look a little crunchy/harsh as though they've been over emphasised through sharpening or similar...maybe raised the white point too high to start with...not sure. This is a minor detail anyway. Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks Jase ... dark skies make a world of difference as you know. I'm not sure what happened to the stars they do look different in this image compared to others from same night in previous post.

:thumbsup:



Cheers Dave ... there are some images that you think " there is more in there than I've managed to extract first time around " and you just have to keep at them 'till your happy. This was one of those. Glad you like it.

Steve,

Nice work, mate. The reprocessed image has more of a 3-dimensional feel.

Now, go forth and reprocess the original file!

Regards,
Humayun

Hi Steve, what were your subs mate?

I have imaged tarantuala time and time again. For such an easy sucker to aquire and capture, it is a mongrel to get right. :doh: I want to have another go at it soon.

Baz.:D

Nice job BTW, I like the second one better.:thumbsup:
