WOW! No kidding. Some amazing images. Thanks for sharing. |

Who knew? I did do a search to see if anything had been posted, but didn't go back that far. Guess it's worth a bump every so often. |

| Looks like they were taken using color filters then recombined, much as we do HDR today, anyone have info on the process used for these? |
