Space Photography
Excellent article at Luminous Landscape featuring the space photography of astronaut Captain Alan Poindexter. A very nice article accompanies the photos by Capt. Poindexter describing shooting in space and the training given to astronauts on how to take photographs.
Link, HERE.

Hasselblad Space Cameras
Hasselblad USA’s web site has a nice set of pages on famous photos made with their cameras in NASA space programs from Gemini to the Shuttle. I found it through my own investigation of some guy that claimed no one went to the moon and it was a hoax with Stanley Kubrick doing the fake footage. I don’t believe this of course! Yes, our guys went and came back safely. But one thing this man said (whose name I don’t recall) was that Hasselblad, who supplied the cameras didn’t promote that fact on their web site. Well, that’s a lie. They do--big time! As well they should as it was a major accomplishment for them.
Always double-check what you read online.
