Earth’s beauty through the camera lens of an astronaut.
The text below is from this video’s Vimeo page:
Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by the crew of expeditions
28 & 29 on board the International Space Station from August to October,
2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km.
All credit goes to them. I intend to upload a FullHD-version presently.
HD, refurbished, smoothed, retimed, denoised, deflickered, cut, etc.
All in all I tried to keep the looks of the material as original as possible,
avoided adjusting the colors and the like, since in my opinion the original
footage itself already has an almost surreal and aestethical visual nature.
