The moon in conjunction with Jupiter

Very nice David I would crop it a bit so the moon was more to the bottom left.

Agree with Mr. T, and perhaps a little more sharpening on the moon surface - but watch out for halo on the edge. :toast:

Thanks for the comments, gents. :wavey: I put my signature there, Phil, to make a diagonal with the Moon and Jupiter and try to give a sense of depth. It is my 3D perspective coming into play. :eek: :biggrin: I thought about and tried extra sharpening Andy, but I preferred it as shown, we are viewing through a relatively thick atmosphere after all. :wink:

What type of pic, Bob, the subject, 2D or both? :biggrin: :wink:

I've just invested in another Fujifilm W3 3D camera, now that the price has dropped even further, just in case Fujifilm don't bring out a W5 in the foreseeable future, but in the hope that they do, hint, hint. :smile:

This may be of interest to a few.

All the best for the New (3D) Year

An interesting shot, something I keep on meaning to do but have never quite got around to.

I guess you would have to be a mile or apart between shots to get a decent 3D at this range :wink:

Very nice, and different image Mr T. The moon looks almost egg like in this shot. Makes you realise how insignificant we all are here on this blue planet of ours.

All the best for 2013 my friend.

Nick. :wavey: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :jump:
