They are not snapshots, but the equivalent of painstaking view-camera landscapes followed by hours in the darkroom. The quality bespeaks considerable experience, care, and post-processing talent, often or usually done by combining multiple images, sometimes dozens, comprising total exposure times of hours, often accumulated over a span of several nights at the telescope. Jimmy?s name is well known in astroimaging circles, and until reading a note about his PGA win on one of those sites this morning, I had no idea that he?s a professional golfer as well. As the work of an amateur (as opposed to the relatively few astroimages that are made by professionals with observatory equipment these days), if they were a golf game, they?d be in a Pro-Am tournament for sure. Jimmy?s the Richard Man, even Ansel Adams, of the night sky! ?howard > On Aug 1, 2016, at 1:26 PM, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand at gmail.com> > wrote: > > Photographs by the golfer who won the PGA championship yesterday: > > http://jwalk.smugmug.com/ > > Cheers > Jayanand > > Sent from my iPad > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
