Photoshoot and Beyond
No matter how much amazing imagery NASA throw at us, they always seem to wow us with new and amazing photographs on a regular basis. Shot on a wide lens mounted on the International Space Station, this image lets us look deep into the milky way while m…
No, this is not a TIE fighter gong over the sun, it is the International Space Station. And while getting a shot of the ISS over the sun is competently doable, getting that shot with Mercury in the frame is an epic effort. Engineer and photographer Thierry Legault took this composite of the ISS, Sun and Mercury […]

When it comes to giving us amazing views of the earth and space, few do it better than NASA, and this one’s going to take some effort to beat. NASA seem to have well and truly boarded and taken residence on the 4K bandwagon, and with footage like this, it’s easy to see why. Having never […]

Star trails have become a very popular photography subject, especially with the high ISO performance offered by some cameras over the last few years, but few will have the opportunity of creating them from such unimpeded views as the International Spac…
From the moon landings to present day, one constant question that much of the world’s population has when it comes to space missions is their choice of camera equipment. During the space race with the then U.S.S.R. of the 1960s, and using primarily Hasselblad cameras with 70mm film, NASA found that they needed more portable cameras for active situations. […]

Shortly after its announcement I read a review of the Nikon P900 super-zoom bridge camera, where the author excitedly said it can be used to shoot objects as far as ten miles away. Judging by this photo of the International Space Station, captured by Naftali Maimon, I’m happy to say the P900’s 83x 2000mm-equivalent zoom […]

Based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Urthecast is a company working hand-in-hand with NASA to provide the first publicly accessible HD camera that’s attached to the International Space Station. While their main objective is a constant stream of HD footage broadcasted live for the […]

If you’re like me, your social media and news feeds were chock full of some great (and some not so great) shots of last night’s supermoon/total solar eclipse. Sadly for me, we had some pretty terrible weather and clouds that made my eclipse gazing plans non-existent–and I really had my heart set on trying to […]

In recent years we’ve become more familiar with the International Space Station (ISS) through live video feeds, experiment demonstrations, and fantastic images that have been brought back to earth. (Then again, maybe it’s all just thrown together on some Hollywood sound stage…who knows.) But, to the best of my knowledge, we have never before seen […]
