Our artistic endeavors

[bae]

Not especially artistic. But, I've been experimenting using some of my astronomy image processing tools on terrestrial photos.

Modern computers are super-powerful for image processing, especially the higher-end new Apple M1 processor-based machines.

The source photo is a simple digital snapshot of a 50+ year old photo in a frame, with an older iPhone.

The resultant photo is that image run through some of my tools, a process that would have taken forever with older computers, here it was nearly real-time to examine the changes, which allowed me to fiddle with some of the parameters to get a better result.

Bae, that technology really crisped the image nice and clean.

That's quite a machine and artist!! Is that you, Bae? Nice work.

A boy and his dog! My father would have loved this.

Catherine, Your poem made me smile. Thanks.

Me too.

Random first experiment with a pinhole lens. No filters were abused in the production of this image :-)

That's pretty cool, Bae!

Walked to the top of the mountain this afternoon, took some shots of the Cascades (Mt. Baker and the Twin Sisters) from Mt. Constitution here. Then stopped at the community dock on the way back, and got a shot of a storm over the Olympic mountains from a distance:

Wow. Gorgeous.

Great shots, Bae. The stormy sky is amazing.
