Stunning photograph of shuttle Endeavour docked to the ISS

June 10, 2011

This stunning photograph of space shuttle Endeavour docked with the International Space Station was taken by Russian astronaut Paolo Nespoli while departing the ISS in a capsule.  The photograph was taken on May 23rd, 2011  but has just been released by NASA along with over 30 more shots.

The images are all absolutely incredible but considering that this was the final mission for space shuttle Endeavour I have a feeling that we’ll be seeing this particular shot appearing across all forms of media for many years to come!

Take a look at all of the 30+ high quality photographs on the NASA website.

Space shuttle Endeavour final mission

June 5, 2011

There are currently some absolutely incredible photos of space shuttle Endeavour’s final mision which touched down in Florida on June 1st over on The Atlantic’s website including the spectacular self portrait pictured above.

Generally speaking I find some of the most compelling photographs to be of the places I have never been as well as getting to seeing something a little bit out of the ordinary,  photographs taken from space must surely be the ultimate examples of this.

Here is a small selection of images from the mission.

Happy shooting!

Trading fear for photos

June 5, 2011

Reuters photojournalist Pak Bea was onboard a flight from Singapore to Jakarta with his family when one of the planes engines exploded.

In the face of adversity and unsure what was about to happen he picked up his camera and instead of becoming hysterical started to take shots of the situation unfolding around him.  Fortunately the plane went on the land safely but by all accounts it was an extremely terrifying situation for all of the passengers onboard the plane.

I find it incredible that given the enormity of the situation and being with his wife and children this photographer had the presence of mind to take photographs of the situation. I guess the years spent working as a photojournalist had fine tuned his instincts. I’m not sure photographing the planes descent would have been my top priority if I’m honest but it certainly makes an absolutely fascinating story.
