Shortly after the sunset, the orange waxing crescent moon shines through a thin layer of clouds. The rooftops form a black silhouette in the foreground.
I have been reluctant to publish the image in my previous post, Heidelberg Castle at Night. It is a single frame taken without a tripod at ISO 5000. It has a fair amount of noise and does not appear very sharp. The latest instalment of DxO PhotLab added an improved version of the PRIME denoising algorithm called DeepPRIME. I…

Julia fractals smooth shell-like structures and endless spirals form a fascinating landscape.
Jupiter captured with Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm telezoom objective. The Galilean moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto, are visible near the planet. Io is in front of Jupiter and cannot be seen. The star on the left is HR 7327, a double star in Sagittarius. The cropped image above is similar to the one I shot…
This fern like shape is found in the elephant valley of the Mandelbrot set. Due to limited number of iterations the fractal spirals do not extend to infinity, but form bulbous growths.
Phoenix (Julia) fractal looking like a sunspot
Last week I got the inspiration to play around with fractals. After spending searching for a suitable program, I settled with Ultra Fractal. The software is not free, but it feels intuitive to use and has an extensive library of public formulas. It costs between 29 € and 99 € depending on the version. I would…
