Remastered & HDR processed image of Challenger, Apollo 17's lunar module
The original images of the Apollo missions were blurry and overexposed. A new book is coming out next month called Apollo Remastered: The Ultimate Photographic Journey, amzn.to/3D0cRKf. It reveals hundreds of newly-restored images from the NASA archives that provide a unique perspective on the Apollo missions. The images were rescanned and remastered by Andy Saunders. The remastered have a much better quality compared to the ones published originally.
I took one remastered image from bit.ly/3iYItIl, and HDR-processed it to further enhance the texture, and to bring out more details. It shows Apollo 17's lunar module Challenger that was about to dock to the orbiting command module after a successful mission to the surface of the moon. Behind the triangular window you can see Commander Eugene Cernan. You can compare the original image, the remastered image, and this HDR processed image on Facebook at bit.ly/3z52IJN.
I processed a balanced and a realistic HDR photo from a JPG exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
