Snapshots from Space
Shooting for the Heart: Astronaut Finds Passion for Photography in Space
08.19.05 Moroccan desert sand seas ripple in the sun. Rugged, snowcapped Himalaya Mountains pierce the heavens. Egyptian lakes spill liquid metal onto the Earth's surface while stretches of shoreline summon the eye. The eye widens, zeroes in and blinks. Whir, click-click. Captured! For more than a century, travels to exotic lands have inspired explorers to record their journeys in snapshots. However, no place on Earth lends a better view to these beautiful places than in space. Unlike most travelers, Astronaut Leroy Chiao has come full circle. Orbiting the Earth every 92 minutes onboard the International Space Station, Chiao made his trek from afar capturing more than 24,000 images along the way. .... "Technically, one can practice and master the right methods of shooting good space photos," he said. "For engineers like me, I recommend that they think about composition. That is, don't just capture the data, but try to compose photos that are beautiful too." Read the full article here: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/liv...iao_photo.html Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao, who lived aboard the International Space Station from October 2004 to April 2005, took more than 24,000 Earth observation photos from his high vantage point in orbit. These are his 10 favorite photos from space. : http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/st...0_gallery.html My favorite image: ![]() (Image credit: NASA) I found it interesting. I hope you do too.
