Mirror Image
I'm taking just a little bit of editorial license in calling Mirror Image a blog, as it is really a website without the series of posts that blogs normally have. But why not include such an excellent website in TheWeblogReview.com listings?
Peter Shah is an amateur British astronomer who has about US$32,000 pounds of astronomy equipment set up in a shed in his garden. Incredibly, he has produced photographs with his 8-inch telescope, despite the often cloudy British skies, that have been favorably compared with photos from the multi-billion dollar Hubble space telescope.
The Mirror Image site is Shah's repository of breathtakingly beautiful photographs which are the product of his relatively humble infrastructure. The photos are of extremely high quality, with endless detail that the eye can peruse for minutes at a time. I'm no astronomy expert, but beauty like this needs no expertise whatsoever to appreciate. On the contrary, anyone would find it totally accessible.
As I gazed at my favorite photo of the Andromeda galaxy, produced with an exposure time of two half hours, I thought "If Shaw is smart he will sell his images in various media as soon as possible, because they are absolutely worthy of it."
The site is an example of how powerful personal publishing can be, and for we who visit sites like this, it shows again how rich the benefits of surfing the Internet can be, looking for sites created by people who are passionate about their interests and talented at conveying their enthusiasm.
