Last July, as I spent the night in the Corinth Reservoir with my infrared camera pointed at the skies, I captured a brilliant image of part of the Perseids meteor shower. I assembled the photo capture and created a lenticular print that is definitely geared for Competition Season 2026.
I even blogged about the experience. Because, yeah, I did.
But something about this photo kept screaming at me, “Chuck, this is just good enough.”
And you know me. I can NEVER settle for just good enough.
So I went back to my original photos … and decided to try something.
What would this look like if I reprocessed these images in black and white, and boosted the contrast to show more detail?
I’ll tell you what it would look like.
More accurately, I’ll SHOW you what it would look like.
Ooh. Not only was there a shooting star in the foreground, but if you look closely at the Milky Way base, you can see ANOTHER shooting star flying in the opposite direction.
Swank.
This certainly works for me. ๐

I’ll think of something. I’m not sure yet, but it may be the case where I enter the color shot in some competitions and the B&W in others. Allows me to be a switch-photographer, if you will.
