There are so many fucking amazing photos from Cassini that blow me away. I mean, for fuck's sake this shot was taken on the surface of fucking Titan.
>>2860671

>And when I saw the fetus, I remember it was a fetus about 15 weeks old sucking the thumb and when I tried to press the button of the camera, the flash strobe didn't work. There was something wrong with it! It took many years before I got the next chance

It's hard to pick just one from the myriad of powerful images taken since the invention of photography. This one is up there for me though.

you could tell the photo is fake because the wine bottle is empty as the girl is holding it by the neck and only supporting it with her left hand after she lifted it. if the bottle had been full she would need her right hand much lower to tilt it.

"Navy chaplain Luis Padillo gives last rites to a soldier wounded by sniper fire during a revolt in Venezuela. Braving the streets amid sniper fire, to offer last rites to the dying, the priest encountered a wounded soldier, who pulled himself up by clinging to the priest’s cassock, as bullets chewed up the concrete around them. The photographer Hector Rondón Lovera, who had to lie flat to avoid getting shot, later said that he was unsure how he managed to take this picture. The Catholic priest, Luis Padillo, would walk the streets, even through sniper fire, offering last rites to the fighters. Besides priest’s bravery, he also knows the enemy will think a lot before shooting him (just imagine the propaganda) and the enemy soldiers are catholic and would refuse that order."

1962, El Porteñazo rebellion in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. A group of soldiers rebelled against the government, the rebellion was put down in a few days with 400 dead and 700 injured. The soldier and many others were hit by sniper fire, the priest was walking through the gunfire to deliver last rites. The photo won World Press Photo of the Year for 1962. Pic related is another photo from the same set.

Is this a filter or are nasa lenses just magical
>>2860896
space suits look dorky as fuck. they should make them look cool so aliens dont want to immediately bully us
>>2862231
It's because of the shape of the sun or something, I think. I've gotten similar effects on my my cameras by shining my iPhone light directly at the lens, it produces grid shaped flares. Not sure how else to do it.

When you want to show how small we are to the universe, you show people what they haven't seen, a photo from the moon. The world knows what the sky looks like, we want new things, photos that shock us. We may seem big to ourselves, but until we saw how far we seemed from our moon, that was when we realized how little we mean to the universe. They get credited for taking "crappy" photos not because they're simply space-men with fancy cameras. They get credits for the photos because they go where most men ever even Dream to go. They take the adventure to the stars. Like when Spirit & Opportunity took the oddly made panoramas of Mars years ago, we weren't amazed by the advancement of photography, we were fucking amazed by seeing a new world from the perspective of 'someone' who was there. We don't take photos just cause they're pretty anon, we take them to amaze. For the Passion and Intensity.

Not OP but here is a caption:
Frenchman Marc Riboud captured one of the most well-known anti-war images in 1967. Jan Rose Kasmir confronts National Guard troops outside the Pentagon during a protest march. The photo helped turn public opinion against the war. "She was just talking, trying to catch the eye of the soldiers, maybe try to have a dialogue with them" recalled Riboud in the April 2004 Smithsonian magazine, "I had the feeling the soldiers were more afraid of her than she was of the bayonets."

Those are the microlenses over the pixels on the sensor. Reflections yada yada no atmosphere yada yada you get the idea.

This is the only good shot in this thread.
The rest of you are fucking plebs. Surface level "wow deep bro" pictures of war or protests that honestly make me feel like I've been talking to a bunch of suburban teenagers the entire time I've been here.
I hate this thread.

Even though that shot does evoke a feeling of co-operation (It was taken during the Apollo-Soyuz program after docking), my top space picture (involving people anyway) is probably this one, Neil Armstrong just after the first moonwalk. Very powerful, the expression on his face says everything.
>>2873184
photographer?
>>2872832
anybody that hasn't should watch The Salt of the Earth, the Wim Wenders doc about Salgado. Powerful ass shit, even if he's kinda jerking him off the whole time.
His mine photos are breathtaking.

Exactly, I was thinking about this last week. I remember looking at a book filled with these pictures when I was a kid, it was a really trippy experience and gave me the "How blessed is life!" feeling.
It was a bit weird for me at the age of 5 how they would get inside the womb to shoot this but that's where I left it.
Then last week it dawned on me.. Outstanding photos, but yeah, these are a bunch of corpses.

dude it's easy first you insert one Hand into the mothers Vagina then the others. afterwards spread them apart. your assistant now has room to set up the light inside her womb. the he will Push your dslr(don't forget to tether it or else you have to push your head inside to see shit) through the Vagina and you can take pics.
>>2872832
Salgado's film work is legendary. I think digital affords him a little too much control and he sorta goes bananas with the contrast and clarity but he's still great.
