Lessons from the Masters

Editat de Robert Gendler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 aug 2013

Recomandăm Lessons from the Masters ca referință profesională și ghid avansat pentru cei care doresc să depășească stadiul de amator în capturarea și procesarea cerului nocturn. Publicată sub egida Springer, această ediție din 2013 nu este un simplu manual, ci o sinteză a expertizei colective a celor mai importanți inovatori din domeniu. Structura cărții este riguros organizată pe 17 capitole, începând cu bazele teoretice ale imagisticii astronomice și progresând către tehnici complexe precum amplificarea culorii, procesarea datelor afectate de poluare luminoasă și fluxuri de lucru specializate pentru obiecte de tip deep-sky. Descoperim aici o abordare modulară, unde fiecare capitol este redactat de un specialist în nișa respectivă: de la expertul în planete de înaltă rezoluție Damian Peach, până la Babak A. Tafreshi, fondatorul TWAN, pentru peisajele nocturne. Această diversitate de perspective asigură o acoperire tehnică superioară, tratând subiecte dificile precum procesarea coroanei solare în timpul eclipselor sau utilizarea camerelor DSLR pentru imagini de câmp larg. Cartea completează perspectiva tehnică oferită de Digital Astrophotography: The State of the Art, adăugând o dimensiune artistică și estetică esențială, precum și fluxuri de lucru mult mai detaliate pentru procesarea digitală avansată. De asemenea, spre deosebire de The Astrophotography Manual, care se concentrează pe întreg procesul de la achiziția de echipament la captură, volumul editat de Robert Gendler pune un accent deosebit pe rafinarea imaginii în „camera obscură digitală”. În contextul operei sale, acest volum se distinge de lucrarea anterioară, Breakthrough!, care explora istoria și știința din spatele unor imagini celebre, orientându-se acum către latura practică și metodologică a creării acestor imagini de către comunitatea contemporană.

De ce să citești această carte

Această lucrare se adresează astrofotografilor care stăpânesc deja noțiunile de bază și caută să își perfecționeze tehnica sub îndrumarea unor mentori de talie mondială. Cititorul câștigă acces la metode de procesare digitală de ultimă oră, învățând cum să transforme datele brute în imagini de o estetică remarcabilă, fie că utilizează un DSLR sau echipamente dedicate pentru deep-sky.


Despre autor

Robert Gendler este un medic american a cărui pasiune pentru astrofotografie l-a transformat într-una dintre cele mai respectate figuri din acest domeniu la nivel global. Imaginile sale au fost publicate frecvent în „Sky & Telescope” și au fost selectate în repetate rânduri pentru „Astronomy Picture of the Day”. Expertiza sa în tehnicile de procesare digitală a condus la colaborări de prestigiu, inclusiv pentru volume precum „The Universe: 365 Days”. Prin munca sa de editor pentru Lessons from the Masters, Gendler reușește să aducă împreună o comunitate de experți pentru a documenta progresul tehnic și artistic al astrofotografiei moderne.


Descriere scurtă

There are currently thousands of amateur astronomers around the world engaged in astrophotography at a sophisticated level. Their ranks far outnumber professional astronomers doing the same and their contributions both technically and artistically are the dominant drivers of progress in the field today. This book is a unique collaboration of individuals world-renowned in their particular area and covers in detail each of the major sub-disciplines of astrophotography. This approach offers the reader the greatest opportunity to learn the most current information and the latest techniques directly from the foremost innovators in the field today.

“Lessons from the Masters” includes a brilliant body of recognized leaders in astronomical imaging, assembled by Robert Gendler, who delivers the most current, sophisticated and useful information on digital enhancement techniques in astrophotography available today. Each chapter focuses on a particular technique, but the book as a whole covers all types of astronomical image processing, including processing of events such as eclipses, using DSLRs, and deep-sky, planetary, widefield, and high resolution astronomical image processing. Recognized contributors include deep-sky experts such as Jay GaBany, Tony Hallas, and Ken Crawford, high-resolution planetary expert Damian Peach, and the founder of TWAN (The World at Night) Babak A. Tafreshi.

A large number of illustrations (150, 75 in color) present the challenges and accomplishments involved in the processing of astronomical images by enthusiasts.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“This book has evoked excitement all over the astrophotographic world. Edited by Robert Gendler and featuring articles by a team of the most celebrated amateur and semi-professional imagers, it provides tutorials in advanced astronomical image processing. … different imagers describe their workflows, giving a fascinating insight into how many contrasting ways there are to make great pictures. … This first edition is excellent … .” (Olly Penrice, Astronomy Now, March, 2014)

Notă biografică

Robert Gendler is an amateur astrophotographer whose astrophotography has earned him international acclaim. He was featured in the PBS documentary Seeing in the Dark by Timothy Ferris, who called Gendler "one of the greatest astrophotographers in all of history." Robert is known among fellow astrophotographers as a pioneer always exploring ways to push the available technology beyond its limits. He has published two books on astrophotography. The first, A Year in the Life of the Universe (Voyageur Press, 2006), was published in four languages (English, Spanish, Polish, and Greek). He is the author of astrophotography books including Capturing the Stars: Astrophotography by the Masters (Voyageur Press, 2009) and Treasures of the Southern Sky (Springer, 2012) highlights the work of the most accomplished astronomical imagers in the world. Gendler received the Hubble Prize for contributions to astrophotography at the Advanced Imaging Conference at San Jose, California in 2007. Robert lives in Avon, Connecticut with his wife and two children.  His work can be viewed at www.robgendlerastropics.com
