Author	Topic: How to improve your photo with astronauts
BA002 Member Posts: 175 From: Utrecht,NL Registered: Feb 2007	posted 11-08-2015 09:27 AM I have had my photo taken with quite a few astronauts but the ones at the Space Lectures events in Pontefract add just that little extra with a nice background. Last week's event inspired me to see if I could enhance my all time favorite, taken at the 2012 Astronaut Scholarship Foundation Apollo 17 anniversary. To my utter amazement, within a day of knowing next to nothing about photo editing I managed to produce this picture using a freeware program called GIMP. In case anyone would like to use this format, the file that I have would allow anyone to insert their own picture. All you need is a steady hand when cutting up the original.

To be surrounded by all those distinguished astronauts would be enough for me. Even a fuzzy half cropped image of me within 100 feet of that group would make me happy. Well done.
