If it’s very specific images, sounds like you’ve got a decent opportunity to break into that niche market and set the standard. Go for it. 16 minutes ago, Viva la FCB said: Thats awesome! Congrats! I think as you say as long as they are legit you have nothing to lose. Can always try it and see how it goes. Also share some of these images please Thank you both Yeah, I've been in contact with them for almost a week now, and agreed to give it ago. We'll see how it goes. I think there's a growing demand for astrophotography images at the moment, so it would be pretty neat if it pays for a few beers every month, haha. @Viva la FCB here are some of my favourites (highly compressed as the original ones are 25MB+, so don't mind the quality) 2 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot more unprocessed raw images on my hard drive, but it takes quite a lot of time to process it until I'm happy with the final result, so I will need to commit more time to it if I'm serious about it Took a bunch of Jupiter images recently, and it's my first planetary observation+photography, so I'm quite eager to see how it works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wintery scene of willow branches reflected in an icy Italian lake has won the public vote for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award 2021. Italian photographer Cristiano Vendramin gained the most votes for his breath-taking landscape, from a shortlist of 25 images. The shortlist was chosen by the Natural History Museum London, from a huge amount of entries from around the world. Vendramin was visiting Santa Croce Lake in northern Italy in 2019, when he noticed the water was unusually high. The willow plants were partially submerged, creating a play of light and reflections on the surface of the water. He was reminded of a dear friend, who had loved that special place but sadly had passed away. Wildlife Photographer of the Year is developed and produced by the Natural History Museum. The latest competition is currently being judged by a panel of experts, and the winners will be revealed in October 2022.

The World Nature Photography Awards have announced their winners from a pool of entries that were received from all corners of the globe. The top award went to Amos Nachoum from the United States for his image of a leopard seal about to capture a defenceless Gentoo penguin. Nachoum waited patiently for hours on the remote island of Plano, off the Antarctic Peninsula, for the right moment at low tide, when the seals stealthily enter a lagoon and search for their prey. Adrian Dinsdale, co-founder of the WNPAs, said: “As always, it’s such a thrill to see the amazing calibre of entries into the awards. Seeing these images cannot fail to motivate one to do everything to protect this fragile planet of ours. We offer our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners.” The World Nature Photography Awards were founded in the belief that we can all make small efforts to shape the future of our planet in a positive way and that photography can influence people to see the world from a different perspective and change their own habits for the good of the planet.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted June 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted June 22, 2022 Quote International Space Station captured travelling in front of Sun A photographer has captured an image of the International Space Station silhouetted in front of the Sun. Jamie Cooper, 52, realised it was expected to be visible above his home in Whilton, near Daventry, Northamptonshire, on 17 June. He shot its "entire transit" across the Sun at 10:22 BST, an event which lasted less than a second, using a telescope and a high speed video camera. "This was an opportunity not to be missed," he said. Mr Cooper, a professional photographer and keen amateur astronomer, said he was in the right place at the right time. "There's a very narrow band where you, the space station and Sun are all in a straight line and it's about three miles wide," he said. "I'd checked the data three days before and it was going to miss my house, I checked the day before and it was going to be over my house, so I was lucky." The space station was about 250 miles (400km) away when above his house and travelling at about 17,000mph (27,300km/h). Mr Cooper said his very high speed video camera was shooting at 80 frames a second, compared to a normal camera speed of 25 frames. He added: "It's important to say I use a specialist telescope with a filter because you should never look at the Sun without a filter - it can lead to permanent blindness." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-61856975 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
