girphoto Posted July 3, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) With all of the talk about the 15CV, (with out filter) and shot in B&W @ 1250 ISO I decided to shoot todays assignments with only my M8 and two lenses. That is right, I left my Canon gear in the car and went out only with the M8. I had to see if I could cover an early morning and indoor assignment with just one camera. The answer is YES, my 90/2.8 was coded by leica NJ and had a Leica cut filter on. ISO was set to 160 witha comp of -1/3. White balance was set to cloudy. (first two images) The other three images were shot with the 15CV no filter (I will get one of John's shades) and ISO set at 160 and 1250. The results were that I moved to the wire 14 images from the shoot. I now have a 12CV on order. Photography has gone back to being fun. Thanks Gary Gary I.

wattsy Posted July 3, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 3, 2007 I like the slit above the door for the tail fin to fit through. Something a bit 'Thunderbirds' about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photolandscape Posted July 3, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 3, 2007 Gary, very nice shots. I have a couple of questions to ask if you wouldn't mind. I assume that these shots were made in an area that the public really never gets close to--is that correct? Or is there some way to get this close and get some great shots like yours? Without special passes, if I were near Cape Canaveral, where would you recommend photographing a shuttle launch--any particular spot that would work? I want to get there before the end of the program and see it with my own eyes. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve If you send me an e-mail to gary@girphotos.com I would be happy to give you some suggestions on where you can shoot a launch from. The program ends in 2010 so you do have some time. Our next Launch is 707 August 2007 and then one scheduled for October 2007. You will have to shoot off base (Kennedy Space Center) and will need LONG GLASS (400mm at least) but you can get very usefull images. If you come down to Florida drop me a line ans I would be happy to meet you for Dinner and go over your plans. I do shoot from the Base and being part of the NASA wire pool (AP< REUTERS,EPA,AFP) we do get access only offered to NASA employees and engineers. Thanks for the interest. Gary Gary I.
