One of these days NPN is going to need an off-world forum.

I'm still waiting for Google Mars to be released.

To be brutally honest, I'm not liking this shot. The composition seems almost random and not well thought out. And since the sun appears smaller on Mars, I think you need more of a telephoto lens to compensate.

Wait, you're saying you didn't take this shot??? :biggrin:

You guys are too funny!
Grant, maybe I'll email NASA about the Rover's compositional skills. :biggrin:

Hmmm, I wonder if that is a HDR blend, it looks a little otherworldly :biggrin:

Ahh, yes, there's nothing like the soft glow of morning light on a crater wall. :smile:
