Powering Thru Smoke

#1

Post by Lowjiber »


I shot this one through a lot of atmosphere (0900hrs) and smoke that was steadily building from the many wildfires to my west. Shooting thru garbage you can sharpen until you have white lines all over everything, or just take what you get... I chose the latter.:)

Thanks for the peek.

Hi John. A very nice prom image through the smoke. But, you still came away with a fine solar capture with your persistence. Thanks for sharing this view with us on here John, and the best of wishes for clearer skies soon.

That's funny, Greg. You know how I hate white lines in solar images. :lol:
