Thanks Glenn - we get so little 'weather' here that I tend to go crazy when some rolls in!Man...that's really an atmospheric shot. Love the moody feeling. You are rolling high on the sky thing Chris.
I didn't have time yesterday Rob, was on my way to a meeting and just had 20 min to spare, but I do plan to return and have a proper look.Yes, superb, and what a wonderful building. Have you been inside, Chris? Looked through their telescopes? I have a friend who, though now retired, used to run the observatory in Dundee. I saw Patrick Moore there when I was a kid...a few other stars too![]()
Thanks Pete - I had the same thought, but my initial play with structure to see if that opened them up caused too many artifacts - maybe a straight brightness lift in NIK....Nice, nice, nice. I might be tempted to open the shadows on the two outer domes a touch though. What do you think?
Sadly not, he died Dec 2012Patrick Moore - now that brings back memories - is he still on TV in Blighty?
Sadly not, he died Dec 2012![]()
Agree 100% PeteAnd Brian May has just bought his house in Selsey!
I find that much more balanced Chris. What do you think?
I need to brush-up on my PS skills Pete - never used that feature!Chris, try clone darken from a sample of the sky adjacent to the domes etc. That will darken out the while boundary but of course it won't affect the darker domes themselves.
