Ian had just finished his skiing trip in Japan. He said during a dental visit that he got some interesting shots from the top of the mountain. I asked him to send me his favourites. This one I really love and again I couldn’t resist the urge to fiddle with it. I tried to achieve the effect of a traditional Japanese woodcut print.
The other 3 were from his visit to India last year.

Here is her interpretation of my Japanese Bride.

Brent came and saw me as a patient last week. He was more interested in showing me some pictures on his cell phone
than opening his mouth.
Anyway when I saw them I said “wow” and then asked him if he could send me the Raw files so I can enhance them more .
I did this in Lightroom , Nik software (Dfine and Viveza) and then sent back the images to Brents for his approval before publishing here.
I love astrophotography images as it brings me back to the days of having a telescope in Blenheim and staying up late to view the night sky.
Now I’m too tired to even try to get out to a dark place and stay up late. Old age for ya.
Thanks Brent for your wonderful image of Aurora Australis.
