It seems to me that the photos of astronaut were taken with the medium format film, not digital. However, I am intrigued by the shadows are not much dark, after all there is no atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Being the space is black, and not blue (above the atmosphere) which is reflecting light so that the shadows are not extremely black? I can not imagine a silver reflector or softbox being used to artistically pleasing results ...

I was just making silly jokes about the old (now almost dead) debates about nikon vs canon d.r. and the controversy over whether the USA actually landed on the moon or made a movie on Earth ground. (I personally believe it was an actual moon landing). But you do bring up some interesting points. Since much of the spacecraft is white, or very reflective, the not-so-dark shadows could be because of all the reflected light. And some of it could be reflected from the earth, depending on it's position relative to the sun & space craft. Is the moon close by? And what about that UFO close by! There I go again making silly humor.

Did we really land on the moon? ??? ;D

We did not. Someone maybe did, but it's all about trust, I guess, when it comes to that. One has to bear in mind that the cold war times were times of fooling the other... or were they?

This is something that really pisses me off though. Sports teams are playing against each other and some spectator or even a narrator says that "we now need to" or "if we win this" or something similar. One has to play to be considered being in the team! The common options for a Lakers fan are 1) we won 2) the Lakers lost.

I have heard of people who have won Olympic medals by watching the TV at home. I've never heard of someone who finished last by watching the TV. So when someone else does something great, it's cool to take it away from him/her? When someone on the other hand fails, it's on him/her?

I guess this is the world we live in. Governments are there to take a part of your earnings and operating profit, but when your business goes bankrupt, they will not pay their shares. As long as you are making a profit, they are proud to be a part of it all.

Sorry I went so far off topic. Now back to the topic -->

I take great pics with my camera!
When my photos are not that great, it's because of the poor dynamic range.

^This is the lame stuff I see here on the forum. Even in this thread people act like everything that they create, is a result of their untouchable skills. When the outcome sucks, the equipment is bad.

Hi Dick.
Wow! Bad day? Too many coffees? :o
I think it would be more than fair at least for any American tax payer during the moon landing years to say" We went to he moon!" ;D
Or is that we the human race went to the moon, as opposed to apes or dogs who have only orbited in space? ::)
Could just be the Royal "we" as in we are not amused! ;D

Ps could this be the same we that are likely to loose against Australia because the pressure of winning the ashes has sent one of our players home with a "stress related illness"? ::)
I mean watching grass grow how stressful?

Cheers Graham.

I thought he was just another South African again once he failed and left the team ;D

Anyway back on topic....
The other week at work someone asked me to take a photo of their team because I'm into photography. I was handed an iPad2 to take the shot with in a office environment. The results weren't pretty.

I hope they at least had Snapseed on it so you could fix it up!

Actually, once someone asked me to take a pic with their iPhone. I took a few shots handed it back but then I asked for it back, deleted the crap ones and kept the best one. I didn't want them to put a crappy pic that I took on facebook!

Despite the fact it pisses me off when comments such as "your camera takes nice photos" and such are made, I try to keep in mind that they are genuinely trying to complement you/me, and by lashing out and correcting them on something they obviously have no expertise in, you're only making enemies, and reinforcing the stereotype of snobby, rich, tech-headed photographers. I just simply smile, nod, thank them, and if they have questions, answer them in the most respectful way possible

Good for you. That's the mature way of handling it.
