Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) â A fairly centered, single object. I think the photo would have improved by shifting the planet up and to the right some (the infamous rule of thirds guideline). But I think it would help here. What is possibly out of your control is what else gets included. I am thinking specifically of a few stars. Would be the âdropsâ in the title. You noted that the moons were not included.
(2) BACKGROUND â Without the stars, the empty space is clearly good ânegative spaceâ.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL â For we amateurs, this is a very good photo of Jupiter. For this challenge, almost everybody wants to see the main subject in focus and without noise. The handholding may have hurt a tad at 1/30 sec.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL â Looks pretty good to me. You may have improved the image quality by reducing the noise in the image, either via Photoshop or another program like Neat Image. The rules say âAny filter or stand-alone utility designed and used to preserve the integrity of the image and/or reduce the effects of noise, scratches, etc, are permitted. These include but are not limited to the Sharpen, Unsharp Mask, and Dust & Scratches filters, and standalone image cleanup utilities such as NeatImage.â
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO â You went for a very literal interpretation of the song title â and produced a very good photo of Jupiter. Itâs unlikely anyone else here could duplicate it or better it by shooting from home. A very good result on a difficult project. However, as I said above, the clarity of it hurts you in this challenge. The noise and the blur on the outer edge â when compared to the other photos of earth bound objects â reduce the score. If this were a science project, you would have scored high (in my opinion).

Yep this sure is a planet, and the largest one in the solar system at that.
Trouble is it`s 400 million miles away and quite differcult to photograph with a digital camera. |

| I assume this is a pinhole kind of thing. I think it would look great, however it's quite grainy and that doesn't really appeal to me. There really isn't much more to the photo than the grainy dot. I think I would have prefered if this were off to one side or another, dead center doesn't really work for this in my opinion. It is a really cool effect though, however you did this, it does look like a planet. Almost makes me wonder IS this a planet? Good luck in the challenge. |

| Is this really a picture of Jupiter? I have no problem with the grain, if this really is Jupiter, it would be hard to not have grain. If this is faked, the grain helps hide the faki-ness. Somehow it seems too patterned (stripes). 5 Swash |

| I know most people won't understand that this is a difficult photo to take. Did you do any Image stacking? You should have it would have been more clear. What scope are you using? I'm an amature astronomer myself. Just love science. I own an ETX 125 scope. I love it. So for I have only photographed the Moon and Vega. I would love to try and photograph Jupiter however the weather here in Toronto has not been in my favour. Nice shot. :) |
