05-12-10 – Happy Farktography Anniversary 5

I printed my Guitar Triptych at 20×30 and hung it up in my living room, and I love it. Now if only I had the money for decent 20×30 frames with museum anti-glare glass…

Wow!! Nice!

i posted for the first time in the farktography thread. I’m so happy just to have one vote. Anyway, just wanted to say everyone’s photos are always so amazing.

That’s exactly how I felt in my first farktography contest! 🙂 Welcome.

thanks! i can’t wait for the “Skylines” and “Macro Bugs” ones.

Welcome, oi_piss_me_off 🙂

Thank you! And thanks to whoever enabled voting for my first picture. In my hurry to submit, I forgot to…doh.

Nice shots. I have never printed out anything of mine on anything larger than A4 photopaper, and I am not sure if my 10 Megapixel 4/3 mount camera can go much larger without seeing a significant drop in picture quality.
Although I rather expected you to have giant bug porn prints all over your walls…

Elsinore:

Unless Intolerant Jerk is shooting with the Hubble there is no way that is his original shot.

It’s people like that what cause unrest! 😯

Agreed. You’d need Palomar to get that level of definition on earth (and that with seeing-correction software only). Furthur, such colors are not seen in space. Colors come in red, blue, green, and violet (and browns when dust is illuminated. All else violate rules of physics. Yellow? I call BS. Let him protest, tell me where the shot was taken, and I’ll see what I can get with my 11″ telescope. I trust with my Whirlpool Galaxy entry that you can see what can be done from earth without stacking images and altering colors.

Not a chance, Elsinore. There’s no filter that will make yellow from red, green, or violet, and the level of detail is far superior to what you can get with even a 24 inch scope, even if it had the anti-blurring software that corrects for atmospheric distortion. Those nebular clouds are on the order of maybe an arc second in diameter, yet he’s got detail of 50 pixels across them. That’s unheard of from an Earthbound scope. I’ll poke around hubble and see if I can find it.
