Zephyr_Nova Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 But isn't it likely that he was taking photos rapidly during the minute it was expected to pass through? That's what I would have done, but I'm also not a skilled photographer... and there's probably some prep work involved that I'm totally ignorant of which would make that impossible. I'd be curious to know how he did it. Amazing pic in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know how he did it. Amazing pic in any case. this fella has a long history of taking similar photos. it's all done by hand... i reckon he lines that shit up and sets his camera to take like 200 photos over the space of the minute or so where the crossing is due to happen (data is readily available). then he picks the right one afterwards. it doesn't detract from the photo in the least imo.

Yeah, that's what I was imagining. I agree that it doesn't detract from the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yeah I'm sure he did that but still, according to the article/blog post: But talk about brief; the ISS was in front of the Sun for less than second So that's pretty intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Lubna, a nine-year-old handicapped girl, lies buried in sand up to her chest during a partial solar eclipse at Karachi's Clifton beach in Pakistan on January 4, 2011. Children with disabilities were buried chest-deep during the partial solar eclipse on Tuesday, as part of a traditional superstition that it would bring healing to their bodies.

delet... Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 That’s why Thierry sojourned to Oman; due to the geometry of the ISS orbit, it was from there that he had the best chance of getting a picture of the station as it passed in front of the Sun during the relatively brief duration of the actual solar eclipse. But talk about brief; the ISS was in front of the Sun for less than second, so not only did he have one chance at getting this spectacular once-in-a-lifetime shot, but he had only a fraction of a second to snap it! that guy's a legend. Must be fucking rich to travel around the world taking shots of the iSS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
