Brutal picture quality

[Postmaster]

Those shots are brutal sharp and contrasty.
Maybe because of the lack of atmospere, mybe because of some special lens.

Does anybody know what Equipment they use?

[dory_breaux]

Its gotta be from lack of atmospherical distortion. Thats poo pooing legit tho, I must say...

 

[Luis Caffesse]

Anyone know their camera settings?
I'll bet they shot with Bpress.

Nasa is usually at the forefront of lens technology. When Kubrick was looking for a lens to shoot by candlelight with on Barry Lyndon, he found Nasa had a few 0.7 f-stop Zeiss lenses specially made and managed to get his hands on them.

Conspiracy mode on:

Except Barry Lyndon was made in 1974.

 

[Postmaster]

Touche!

Theyd never get it on network tv if that were true.

He'd have Armstrong hack Aldron to death, then stare at the camera while the earth rose perfectly symmetrical in the back ground for 4 hours.

zeiss medium format glass and film/digital.

 

[Batutta]

Touche!

Still, the fact that he was on good enough terms with Nasa to borrow lenses from them is a little fishy.

 

[Ki-Ki]

Fake.

So greenscreened.




for those who cant tell im kidding

Slightly concerned that this guy dosnt appear to be attached to the space craft, other than holding onto something...

He worked with them during 2001, and no doubt had many fans among them.

Tethers are soooo 1967.

 

[MasterP]

Word on the street is that RED based the Scarlet on that NASA camera design...











... or maybe not :grin:


OFF TOPIC: I just noticed that the second pic was shot... over New Zealand!
Lovely place (although I may be a little biased...)

I think I detected talk of conspiracies? Anyway...those pictures are bloody fantastic (I can say that even though I'm American, right?) Also, it amazes me to see people just floating out there in the middle of no where (I mean, in the middle of nowhere) and I can't imagine what that would feel like. Great find!
