One of my latest shots of the moon.  Still playing around with camera settings but turned out ok.

Taken with my Canon T5i mounted to my Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope using a t-ring adapter.

Nothing as amazing as you and those circus midgets . ..  .I can't unsee that . . . lol    J/K

 

Those astronomy pods are very cool . . . .  having your Tele set up all the time enables you to cruise out and take a look anytime and thats when you see those unexpected "wow check that out " sights.

How did you manage to get the stain glass windows colors in a black and white shot?

Photoshop probably. It will have been a colour photo and then the stain glass isolated before desaturating the rest.

Yup, pretty much.

 

For this one, I converted to black and white and hand-coloured the flowers.

Photoshop?

I guess using Photoshop is not taboo and it is still an art form

It's absolutely essential (along with LightRoom), especially if you shoot in Camera RAW, which is essentially the digital equivalent of a negative. For my nature, landscape and architecture shots, I don't change photo elements other than removing spots from dust on the lens or the odd power line. For my "artistic" shots, like the coloured glass or the colours on the bike, I'll play with the image.

 

Because the RAW files have all the information that the sensor collects, they tend to be washed out and flat. I do all the work manually that the camera does when it saves as a .jpg based on the presets in the camera. I'd rather control the image processing and output rather than use what some engineer at Canon or Nikon etc decided the settings should be

 

Photoshop is not a bad thing, in fact it's quite the opposite. It's a problem when photographers or advertisers pass off unreality as reality, or make hilarious mistakes. That's where the term "Photoshopped" became a verb for making a stupid or bad edit on a photo. It's like any other tool. A hammer can build a house or smash a window.
