ISS high resolution images.

http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-28/inflight/ndxpage8.html

See gallery pages 8 and 9 for high resolution images taken from
outside the ISS.

 

1.3MP max resolution. Strong chromatic aberration in the pictures (can't
they afford a decent lens?). Curiously the astronaut wears something
which looks like a shorts and a T-shirt shaped spacesuit.

 

Same old Alfred, almost as bad as RicA complaining about everything.
Why not just enjoy the fisheye photos from the spacewalker(s) outside
the station and the unique viewpoint they provide?

The EXIF data says the photographs came from a Nikon D2Xs which thinks
it's orientation is 'normal'. The lens is a 10.5mm f/2.8. Presumably
it is this lens

They should de-orbit that costly white elephant over the Pacific. What a
travesty, and a waste it has been for the space program.

 

Are you talking about the D2X or the ISS?

 

Ha! At least the D2x served a purpose.

 

A D3s was also used this mission as well.

 

When your country starts paying any significant fraction of the $$,
then you get a vote. In the mean time it's cool photos from OUR
boondoggle.

 

It has plastic parts. He also thinks the blue bags should be
titanium.
