well, we havn't been blessed with much new images from the rovers for a while...
so I browsed through the existing ones. One of Oppy's Navcam-Panoramas http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA07464 catched my imagination. A lonely rover in the middle of this incredible vast and barren ocean of sand, called Meridiani Planum:  High resolution download here (400 KB) http://mitglied.lycos.de/user73289/misc/desertplanet_jpg.jpg
The original image is part of a Navcam-Panorama. So I had to colorize it from plain b/w without multi-filter information. The detail view of the rover tracks shows how I tried to improve the colorization to match as close as possible the "real" i.e. multi-filter composed images:  special thanks to Daniel Crotty (slinted) whose excellent color image gallery are a great inspiration for chosing the martian color shades & hues ...

QUOTE (Tman @ Apr 26 2005, 04:40 PM) Irradiated by Tman (couldn't overcome the temptation too) http://www.greuti.ch/oppy/desertplanet_jpg.jpg  that's getting better all the time I always thought there's something missing in the middle of the horizon ... to make the feeling not _that much_ desolate BTW.: which progr./plugin are you using for the lens-flare-effect. ? P.S.: have you already seen the "real" martian lens flares at [url]http://www.lyle.org/~markoff/[url]  there are plenty of them in the many sky pancam shots. So this effect in the image does not seem too far fetched. Also the color of the sunrise has that right slightly bluish cast this time

[/quote] that's getting better all the time I always thought there's something missing in the middle of the horizon ... to make the feeling not _that much_ desolate BTW.: which progr./plugin are you using for the lens-flare-effect. ? in Photoshop 6 the lens flair is filter>render>lens flair here is one of dougs great pans with a flair added from photoshop just for demonstration. I used quite a high setting just cause it made it look cool. You could decrease the brightness to more simulate the real thing. doug I hope you don't mind.
