Mars color

[raburgeson]

I work with images, when I see a screwed up one I unscrew it. In this case I wanted to know what Mars really looks like. Look just below the camera. (Thought I should share.) What do you think? Is that water?

Hmm, did you color correct this picture ?
Maybe these are just rocks and as you changed the color
it now looks like ice or water... ??

I sent you a couple of samples of my work (just to show I am an artist). I had no idea what I was going to get, I didn't even look at the results until after I finished. They really shouldn't try to pass off a picture with a filter outside of the visible light range and expect to get away with it. The package of prints this pic came with also included pics from the droid which after the filter change shows the amount of misadjustment.

Also the following is a must see.

Take a look at the borders of darker to lighter areas what does it look like? Those who are familiar with aerial photography high altitude here on earth may have a better appreciation of this pic. Use your picture program and magnify...
Enjoy.

You can do lots of tricks with image filters, so you can only tell,
if it is rocks or ice, if you have a spectral calibrated camera and know
how ice is showing up on it normally.
