Exhumation of Tycho Brahe...Posted By Steve Mathis |
Poor Tycho. The story of his death resulting from an over-full bladder was always a favorite of my astronomy students...they referred to it as "bladder-splatter". Dying of mercury poisoning seems so mundane for such a flamboyant figure.

Wow, Tony! They are beautiful. And wild. Good for you for rescuing them. The videos are very touching (no pun intended!)

Effects of FiltersPosted By Steve Mathis |
Here is one...
This shows the effect of using an IR/UV cut filter on a modified camera. The camera had the stock filter replaced with clear glass. The left image was taken without the IR/UV filter.

EclipsePosted By Steve Mathis |
Here is one more...this is a composite of three exposures, 1/50th, 1/20th and 2 sec, once the moon started emerging from the umbra. This was hard to make "natural" looking, dealing with the huge dynamic range between the sunlit and shaded portions of the moon. I used layers, curves, levels, masks, burning, dodging, etc.
