"Outer Space"

Taken during a flight to International Space Station . . . not.

Jaja Wilson....!

 

I was going to say I did not like the lensflare effect but given that you were just having fun I accept it.

 

I am glad you visited many places in Puerto Rico. For me, the observatory is a place of peregrinage.

Really interesting image. I like the tones, cool! I have to disagree, I like the lens flares, they add the feel of being in a space craft & taking the image from in the craft. That reflective flare off the window glass :) Such amazing detail & depth in the radio-scope! What exactly "is" a radio-scope. I know what a "radio" is & I know what a "scope" is, but when you put the 2 together, I'm guessing :) I am assuming it has something to do with radio astronomy? Are they looking for radio waves received from somewhere outside the earth's atmosphere?

 

Nice image!

 

 

Jayme, this is the " gregorian dome reflector " at the Arecibo Radio Observatory.

I agree, I like the lens flare. I think it adds to the image. Pretty amazing things we human beings accomplish when we put our mind to work. I especially like the color of the sky, at night I presume?

I never would have suspected ;)

You have gone ballistic man! What an imagination and what a fine transformation, love it.

Cheers.

This is fantastic, futuristic, galactic...far out! I love what you did with it! 7/7

At first I thought "As a space photo, here is too much indirect light on subject" but I have to accept that common sense doesn't work in Outer Space. Admirable work!

 

One thing amazing is that you have time to see such many movies...

Hermosa imagen, perfecta luz, bello encuadre, perfecta composicion, y un bello color, saludos cordiales Wilson.

I love what you did with this!! VERY cool effects, especially the lensflare. You're SO creative!! :-)

That's cool. I just visited the place myself a month or so ago, took a days worth of snap shots, and never once was smart enough to consider trying for a shot against a sky full of stars. :(

 

Radio telescope = radar telescope. A passive radar receiver. Very, very, sensitive that listens to the microwaves and turns it into images of the sky. No cell phones allowed anywhere nearby. A location remote enough so no one goes there by accident. Complete with a life saving hot dog stand on the observation deck. :)
