Last night we had the pleasure of a free talk with NASA Astronaut Col Ron Garran. He flew on the final Shuttle mission to the ISS and took part in the final Shuttle space walk

It was a great talk in which he showed off some of the 25,000 images he took from his 6 months on the ISS.

You can see some of his time lapse images here.

And this is what he used!


Camera Information


Night sequences were shot exclusively using the  Nikon D3s, usually with a wide angle lens.  The camera was set up to take pictures, commonly at three second intervals, generally resulting in a fairly “smooth” video. 


Both focus and exposure were set manually. When the camera was allowed to expose automatically, it would change the exposure between shots, resulting in uneven lighting through the video.  ISO would be set near 10000 or higher. Shutter speeds were as low as 1 second, but often longer.  Aperture was wide open.  For the 17-35mm lens this was f/2.8.


Day sequences were shot with either the D3S or the D2XS. Wide-angle lenses were normally used.  The Nikon 17-35mm lens was often used near the wide end, such as 17mm. This showed the curvature of the Earth.
