26 June 2010 partial lunar eclipse from Wallsend

[Big Dave (Dave)]

Nice, I missed the maximum with hail. Great detail and nice colour gradient.
Artistically I vote for the original version; if you were running a pole.

thanks for the input guys and gals. I need to slightly fix up the first shot to remove some of the noise - and clean up my HDD as i have far too many Repros



ok have taken on board all the comments and have trashed everything i have done except for the first shot - now cleaning that up for noise

hail? are you a Collingwood supporter then?

A ver nice Dave. I have data for the darkened side and the light side within seconds but need to work out how to do the mask. You got any tips?

Lovely work and like you I got the pink too, but unlike you the green.

Dave, The first one hit my eye, the others not so much.
well done

[h0ughy (David)]

HONEST - this is my final repro of this - fixed up the noise issues of the first shot.


Paul - i dumped the cr2 raw files (26 of them) into Photomatix Pro then saved as a 16 bit tiff - processed that in Pixinsight (dynamic background extraction and ACDNR reduction with a slight unsharp mask) then resized in photoshop for the web

[Paul Haese]

So how did you get the colour to come through. I have the HDR image but the colour is not present in the HDR but the red is certainly visible in the over exposed image. Your last image looks the best I reckon.

[h0ughy (David)]

sent you an email Paul - you can see what i have

[michaellxv (Michael)]

Very well done Dave. You have captured what was a subtle red tinge very wel. I like it.

[h0ughy (David)]

Thanks Michael

[Paul Haese]

Thanks David. I can see why you have colour in your images now. Mine has only vague pink; yours has so much more colour.

[ChrisM]

David, you have captured the eclipse very well. Not visible here this time, and your pics are far better than what was shown on the TV news! (Not surprisingly).

no worries Paul - i took nearly 16 gig of data like that - capturing it all up until 10pm - when i ran out of storage LOL

thanks Molly - did you look at the last one i posted

[firstlight (Tony)]

I agree with Molly. On my monitor your last repro is much greener, and I think the first one seems "cleaner" if I can put it that way. Again only my opinion.

Good work all round.

[iceman (Mike)]

The repro's were worth it Dave. The last one is the best of the lot.

Brilliant!

[iceman (Mike)]

What are the details?
Camera, lens, exposures etc?

[iceman (Mike)]

This is now IOTW.
