Ok – so this is my second restoration of a shot from the very first shuttle – Enterprise - maiden test flight thirty years ago. The original old image was very degraded and literally been held together by the noise in it. By the time I had cleaned all the noise out of this one it was beginning to look too sharp and clinical – almost vectorised – so I pulled it back and reintroduced some of the original to keep it looking a little aged. Manipulated with Adobe CS3 & Noise Ninja.
