Something fast, anyway!

Also hard to tell, Canon or Nikon? Looks like Nikon logo but soft.

I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I'd be willing to guess it's this Nikon 600mm f/4 prime... eek7.gif

    Does he really think he can hold that thing steady enough to get a decent shot?

    Maybe zero gravity helps.mwink.gif

    Here's a look at what I would guess is a photo from that Nikon lens. You can clearly see chunks missing from the so-called "bipod" area on the right, as well as the large chunk missing from the "PAL ramp" (center/bottom).

    Actually, I think I was wrong. The previous one was taken from a camera mounted in the umbilical well (one the belly of Discovery). This one is one of the handheld shots taken by the shuttle crew.

    either way, pretty amazing shots.
