The Great Orion Nebula

The Great Orion Nebula, originally uploaded by ThinkingCamera.

Winter is arriving very fast and Orion was rising above the roof of the old railway engine sheds I can see from my garden, so although it was still quite low in the sky, I had to try to “grab” the great Orion nebula again (M42).
I took literally hundreds of exposures from 5sec to one minute and “HDR” combined them before processing carefully in PixInsight and Photoshop. This is the best image of this magnificent star-forming area I have made to date.

Dancers

A long time since I posted anything in this blog – and this is something different!

This image was made by taking about 20 frames from a HD video (made with the Canon 7D), putting each frame in a Photoshop layer then combing the layers with “darkest colour” blending. There was then some work with Topaz adjust, clean and lens effects, lots of playing with levels and some added grain and grunge.
I am not sure about this, but it is a technique to try again in future, I think.
