Mysterious and incredible Mars
Mars, beautiful fotoVydayuschiesya digital photo processing methods Dutchman Kees Venebosa been demonstrated in National Geographic and NASA site. Processing of the images he made with the help of landscape modeling Terragen. He has worked with various versions of this program since 1999.
Most of the photographs were obtained by digital simulation of heights on images from various NASA satellites, such as Mars Global Surveyor. He made a lot of pictures for National Geographic, not only Mars but also the good old Earth and other planets in the solar system and extrasolar planets of other systems. Here is the collection of his most beautiful and fantastic images of Mars.
