Arecibo Space Probe

my kinda world.. ;)

A hack of a photo. I like the blueishness. Though it doesn't seem completely sharp.

This shot was taken hand-held from a viewing balcony overlooking the

broadcast dish 50 metres below. Letting off some steam just after it rained,

the hills in the distance appear closer than they actually were due to the

compression effect of the 70-200 lens. Hope yout think this scene is 'out of

this world' too...

This is a fantastic image, although I'd probably invest some time to edit out those support wires or try to find an angle where the cable doesn't intersect the dark bottom of the radio receiver geodesic dome. What makes this image is the angularity and the curved structures (take a moment to count how many straight lines and arcs are in this scene).

surreal!

Thanks for your collective interest in this photo and rating it so well. I'm humbled and inspired to do more.
