Seriously. I actually had chills looking at some of these. They look so hyperreal, probably because there's nothing in Space to get in the way of a good shot. Holy.

cool shots, are these classified?

Wow!

 

[MrJoshua]

Awesome, just awesome!

I need to know the details!! Camera, lens, etc...

The first question that comes to mind is what camera does NASA use. I also imagine it's so bright up there, they are using huge f-stops, hence the ultra depth of field and detail.

I want that to be my background.

I NEED IT IN HIGH-RES!

I wonder it they aren't IMAX stills.

Gorgeous.

Bloody hell.

NASA uses Nikon cameras and lenses as I recall. They considered Canon, but the flourite lenses don't survive launch well.

If these are IMAX then I have no idea.

Wow awesome pics! A little surreal to look at.
NASA used to use Hasselblad in the old(er) days. Not sure if they still use that. Edit: in 1962 the first pic with a hasselblad has been made in space by NASA. I believe that from what I've read they still you use it.

Edit: Hasselblad, Linhoff, Rolleiflex and Nikon is what they use.

Dude, we build the robotic arms that the Shuttle uses, and the one on board the ISS.

Canada = space robotics!

I didn't think there was a living Canadian who was unaware of the "Canadarm".

One of the single most significant contributions to the current state of space exploration.
