Now who knows what kind of film was used?

I know it was Kodak. My father gave me some prints from negatives shot in the moon and around there. I was STUPID enough to give them to my grammar school library many years ago. STUPID, STUPID, JUST PLAIN STUIPD!

Pretty sure it was all print film but well tested for the best emulsions (balance, grain pattern, sensitivity). Think of it as SUPER PRO film.

Kodak Park Industrial Labs. These folks drank fixer on breaks and washed their hair in D-76!

Now who knows what kind of film was used? Was it Kodachrome? The colors, especially the blues look pretty saturated... Though I would imagine a lot of that has to do with the lack of any atmospheric conditions (haze, etc.).

Haze filter! why would one need a haze filter?

 

[furcafe]

Isn't a haze filter just a UV filter? I'm not a landscape shooter, but I've always read that UV filters were useful @ high altitudes because of all the extra UV (& Earth orbit would seem to be pretty high in altitude).

No water vapour in space so no haze, nothing for any wavelength to bounce off

Maybe because of UV light; after all it isn't filtered through the atmosphere.

I haven't been doing a lot of shooting in outer space recently, so this is just a layman's speculation 😉

Yes but if one is taking pics of the Earth’s surface any light entering the lens has been through the atmosphere, or maybe that’s why; because the main intention was photographing the Earth not space

Stewart is right. The "Synoptic Terrian Photography" meant they were taking photographs of the earth's surface. Sixty miles of haze.

i know for a fact it was kodak film. however the colours are diffrent with no atmosphere! so they ran special color temp film. i think it was the same film as the hasselblads used.
