Those are stunning!

 

[yantorsen]

they look shopped to me.

they look shopped to me.

I don't think so.

 

[nolimit]

Those pictures are out of this world!

 

[Overlag]

they look shopped to me.

i wouldnt say shopped... they just look so unreal... very good shots, normally they are all noisy but these are great!


something i really wana see first hand in my lifetime but it aint gona happen

 

[yaboy]

Dunno weather to believe theyre real or not

 

[Wang]

I'm putting my balls on the choppin' board and saying they are real! Absolutely stunning pictures either way.

 

[wez130]

they look stunning, they aren't shopped, just a lot processing i think

 

[V-Spec]

Georgeous photos..

I don't think they've been altered, theres quite a few spacewalk photos knocking around which are similar, the hurricane one is bizarre but beautiful

 

[philio16]

Shame there is no exif

Amazing shots indeed!

well they've definatly bveen enhanced in some way

the backgrounds don't seem to match with the rest of the pictures.

 

[No-One]

To quote the moon landing conspiracy people, "Where are the stars?"

Obviously they're not visible because of the bright shuttle/earth etc

the backgrounds don't seem to match with the rest of the pictures.

the background being something thats either infinite or about 1000 miles away. Put an object that close and its gonna look out of place lol! I highly doubt they're shopped at all

Anyone know which landmass that is in the second shot?

 

[Amp34]

Why would they need to be shopped? I'm sure in one of the ships that docked with the ISS they had space for a good camera and lens, and it's not like NASA would baulk at spending a measly $10000 on a camera and a couple of lenses

There was a thread on this a while ago and I think the consensus was the landmass was Australia, but I could be way out.

 

[BruceLee]

you'd be buggered if you dropped your lens while changing it out there...

 

[Russinating]

Well you couldn't really drop it mind. Or at least if you did, it'd just hover around slightly below you or float away slow enough to grab. Would probably be better than here!

Why would anyone even think these photos aren't real.
NASA's budget for camera and video gear is huge. These were probably taken on a custom built camera that was then handpicked from a group for the mission.

Exactly - If you drop anything in space it floats

Don't forget, no dust out there either!
