damn, some of those photos are crazy on that site.

it would be a sick to be picked up by them as a photographer just to shoot from the space station, but i bet they drug test

haha

also, the gps coordinates would be awesome to see. they show the location of what they photographed, but i wanna see the altitude of the photographer!

i have a contact who used to shoot for nasa in florida, and its a very hard job to get. they never have openings either haha.

suck it Canon

Yeah, thank goodness they don't shoot Canon. Just imagine, that photo would have been completely out of focus and the smoke would just be a big highlight with a glitchy black dot in the middle.

That's just a super-close of a zit I had the other day. Shot it with my Coolpix.

That's intense.

I heard about being able to see it on the news in the background @ work the other day.

Now after actually seeing it, and the CLARITY behind it, it had to be a Nikon ;)

Didn't see anything about it being Nikon, you people and your side choosing. You're either Honda or Volkswagen, and Nikon or Canon. Gang wars.

EDIT:

Astronaut photograph ISS020-E-9048 was acquired on June 12, 2009, with a Nikon D2XS digital camera fitted with a 400 mm lens

Nevermind about not seeing it, but my other part I still go by.

Pft. Camera brands are mostly chosen by who you start with. I feel that brand wars between Canon and Nikon are somewhat pointless.

My first film Canon was a 35mm film camera, the Rebel G. Naturally, my first digital SLR was the Rebel XT.

If I had started out with a Nikon N65 or N75... I'm sure I'd probably be shooting with Nikon now.

Nevertheless, cool shot.
