HELLO AGAIN FROM NASA

 

Just to get it out of the way before I begin, I do not work for NASA , but I am part of the NASA Photo Wire Pool made up of the various World Wide Wire Agency's (EPA, AP, REUTERS, AFP).

 

Yesterday the Space Shuttle Atlantis started its early morning trip (1 mile per hour) for the 3.4 mile ride to Launch pad 39-A.

 

I decided to take a little extra time and note exposure information for the attached images.

True, this is a learning and shearing site and not a site for one to post his/her best images, for this reason the tech. info. is attached.

The more I use the M 8 in every day assignments, the more I see what can be done shooting DNG + jpg (for a quick look).

 

The day started with the shuttle leaving the VAB at 5:05a.m.

The first image was shot with my 50mm Nokton as follows: ISO 640 Shutter 1/22 @ f 1.5 hand held. The next two images were at sunrise shot at ISO 160 Comp. -1/3 Shutter 1/8000 F 16 and ISO 160 comp. - 2/3 Shutter 1/1000@ f 22 the last image was with a 28 f2.8 ISO 160 Comp. -1/3 Shutter 1/750 @ A. All images White Balance was set to Daylight.

Hope this helps some who have been asking about various 50mm lenses in ever day use and by Professional who make their living in photography.

We are off to the Preakness in Baltimore today and hope to have some additionl posts after that assignment.

Best

Gary,

Great looking images,especially the Shuttle with the sun behind it.

 

I saw the Shuttle take off about 5/6 years ago while holidaying in Florida ,the closest we could get was about 20 miles ,as the traffic all stopped to watch,but you could still here and see the shuttle lifting up into the sky .

Shame i could'nt get any pictures as it was a bit cloudy and the light was low early in the morning ,great experience.

How lucky you are to be so close,

 

Cheers

Matthew.
