Auw, now that's nice. (How come the background stars don't have the diffraction spikes?)
Cheers,
Brian.
Some of them have very fine diffraction spikes.
This is due to their given brightness.. Look at most images using newtonians, Unless the exposure was particularly long, dimmer stars rarely have diffraction spikes, only the brighter stars..
As seen in this image... the brighter ones have spikes, but as they get dimmer, the diffraction spikes shrink.
You mean these things are proprietary? Well, I never....
But then again, why not? Where do you register this stuff? Where does "imitation" shade into "genre", and who decides?
Or there again, are we talking mainly about courtesy? (I know that on some of the lampwork glass bead forums and some of the quilting forums some people get all hot and bothered about divulging someone's secret technique — as if you couldn't figure it out just by looking. And of course, none of it is copywritten.)
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I suppose.
Placid waters all.
(I'm no aesthete, but that picture sure does look pretty.)

In my case, no, not at all, and never will be. Although, if it was someone else, they could make it proprietary if they wanted to go that far!

You register this stuff with the organisation I work for! Designs can be registered without examination, unless it is blatantly obvious. It's only examined when someone contends it.

I agree with you, as if anyone couldn't work it out just by looking: there's nothing secretive about it. I just recall someone with a very similar name messaging me a very long time ago on CloudyNights asking for my permission to use the same framing style and text placement because they said they liked it. I forgot to reply to them and never heard from them again.
I apologise for using the term "technique"; it should, perhaps have read "style".
Octane: I "think" it was me that sent you that message, but I honestly do not remember! The frame were made for me by a friend of mine that hangs out on CN, couple of months ago!
Do you mind if I use it?
