QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Dec 4 2006, 12:47 AM)  Welcome, and thanks for chiming in JunqueMan. Here's one for you - terrain doesn't get a lot more featureless than this, just a few tiny, metre sized craters. Thanks.  I'm truly amazed at the number of varied landscapes that have been photographed so far, and this being just the start of MRO's mission. When I was young, the best pictures of Mars were from the Mariner missions. I'm simply blown away with what the HiRISE camera is capable of doing.

Colourised and enhanced version of the now much-loved "delta" in Eberswalde...
... just 'cos I felt like it!

 Stuey, you and Dilo should work up the first tourist brochures for Fly-Drive Martian Holidays.

Very nice & atmospheric image, Stu .. i like the subtle color gradients Those MRO images are a dream to colorize (can't wait for the full 14-bit data release which should offer even more dynamic range) Here are some attempts at hand-coloring (thanks also to jamescanvin who discovered the detail views within the large images) The Beqcuerel-Crater-"Beacon Tower" at the shore of the sand sea:

And the beautiful "sand lake" north of the Viking landing site (The Greyish color of the sand is inspired by
similar appearance of the dark/grey patch of sand at Eldorado)

Hard to say how accurate [the colorization] is, but deeply thought-provoking. |

Oh I agree... Although I think MRO had something to do with authoring the original image, the enhancement and colorization is probably the best I've ever seen. |

Nirgal, your Beacon-Tower is just x%zygrrk¤¤ (sorry I miss words).
I'm sure somebody can tell its height since we have this nice shadow. Thanks & thanks -------------------- |

thank you all very much for all the nice words
I'm glad you like the images so much ... However this would not be possible without MRO providing such unbelievably high quality raw material ! I can hardly describe the excitement it causes whenever a new batch of images arrives: then It's just as if one could start one's own helicopter tour accros giga-pixel-wide breathtaking areas of our neighbour planet, discovering details and taking color photographs of the scenery through the window :-) ... and the best is surely still to come with much more MRO imagery and HiView / 14-bit quality... exciting times ahead ! |

Alternative view of nirgal's "dust lake crater"... can't get the colours as nice or as accurate as yours nirgal (and thanks for the tips, much appreciated! They're what made me decide to post my effort after all... ) so I'm going for a more dynamic "My Mars" look...

Just want to add to the Nirgal Love Fest that in addition to the awesome colorizing, I really like the borders and titles as well - a good frame for a great picture! I think I know what my first print will be from our new Phaser 6120n...

QUOTE (climber @ Dec 11 2006, 10:21 PM) I'm sure somebody can tell its height since we have this nice shadow. If JamesCanvin's image is at full resolution (~25cm/pixel), the ~100 pixel length of the shadow + ~41 degree angle of the sun -> height of ~22 meters. Not as impressive as I initially thought, but still as tall as a nine-story building. |
