Sorry about the ad, but it is worth waiting to see the amazing job these guys did using DSLR’s to capture the Space Shuttle preparation and launch. Stunning.
This post makes me feel old. 30 years ago, Mount St Helens erupted and caused devastation to everything around it in Washington State. I can actually remember it. I would have been 12 at the time. I know I can remember it, but I was surprised at the sheer scale of it when I looked at the photos in a timely article but The Big Picture. Once again they have produced a stunning photographic essay of this catastrophic event.

I was wondering the other day, what sort of camera gear did they use on the moon landings? Well, the interwebs were at my finger tips, so off to Googleland to see what I could find. Turns out, there is loads of stuff out there, a hell of a lot of it about conspiracy theories, but amongst them, this little gold nugget.
Wonder no more. What a terrific collection of photographic gear they had. That beast in the photo above is a 500mm lens!
When ever there is a list of the all time best of something, or, like this list, The Most Influential, there will always be debate raging right behind it. No Australian photographers made it into the list, which seems a little odd. Ansell Adams at #23? What do you think of the list?
