NASA巅峰之作+全新HDR教程即将出炉!

通告!

我们有大受欢迎的HDR教程,手把手教大家如何制作此类图片。再告诉大家,我会将完整的内容更新上来,向大家演示下面的第一张飞船照是如何出炉的。我希望每三个月左右能更新一次教程,这次更新很精彩哟,敬请期待!

NASA巅峰之作

航天飞机计划即将结束,我很难过。但是航天局说这并不等于美国人类太空旅程的终结。我很荣幸收到NASA邀请,因而有机会来到这个超赞的地方,亲眼见识一下他们给新火箭装载的最新一代的飞船。不知这里允不允许拍照……但我不会停手,看看将来能不能弄点特别的东西出来。

总之,我会放上几张个人最喜欢的NASA图片,算是对卓越的礼赞吧。

很幸运能成为最后几个由NASA人员陪同来到发射台的人之一。在航天飞机计划以及“亚特兰提斯”号的最后一夜,一切都是那么美、那么平静。就像是与这个庞然大物独处片刻……真是永生难忘。

 

The Mighty Rocket AwaitsToday I had a great day at NASA.  I've come back to the space coast in Florida to see the space shuttle Endeavor blast off, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.Around noon, I was invited out with a group of other Twitter peeps to see the RRS Rollback event.  This is the slow-motion but exciting time when they peel away to the Rotating Service Structure to reveal the shuttle.  It was so awesome that I almost forgot to send a tweet.Read more here at stuckincustoms.com.

发射前24小时有一个重要的牵引。这是个特殊时刻,就像是奥运会比赛前选手换下长衫。

NASA四处都有各种惊艳“遗迹”,随便往哪里一躺就是一朵奇葩。“土星五”已经帅得不行了。

发射前18分钟。全球各地的新闻媒体都聚焦这一时刻,现场报道。此时正在做准备。

两次发射都在计划发射前一天遇上风暴袭击VAB大楼 (装配大楼)。这是第一次参观NASA时拍的。这是一次终身难忘的经历,身边站着Levar Burton,一个在 NASA工作的姑娘出来说:“我们收到雷电2级警报!赶快进来!”这时Levar Burton问了一句:“这就像3级诊断咩?”

Space Shuttle

这是个人最中意的一张“奋进号”直冲云霄的图片了。此时它还在加速,仿佛真的被云“吸”进去一般。

    A great collection of shuttle/NASA pictures Trey!

    As I’ve heard someone say Awesome dot com. I hope you have lots more in the hopper to process but I appreciate that you have tens of thousands of shots ahead in the cue. Looking forward to pad cam shots (to be unveiled on Leo’s show?), and new Disney stuff as well.
    Enjoy a well earned rest.

    Wow Trey – these are some fantastic shots, alright. I love the variety of content, context, and processing. The first shot of the shuttle on the launch pad just feels mature and dignified. What a moment. I also really enjoyed the vintage-looking “newsmen” shot. Very cool. That Saturn V looks amazing. Good use of HDR to make it Pop. And the wormhole? WOW! What an experience that must have been. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been looking forward to these shots. :-)

    Fantastic photos Trey – you really captured the moment… it still blows my mind just how incredibly clever some of those guys are at NASA… plus how incredibly brave those astronauts are, yeah! Awesome effort mate, well done! :-)

    Level 3 diagnostic! Bwahahaha! Apparently, you can take the actor out of Star Trek, but you can take the Star Trek out of the actor!

    Great set of NASA shots. I really like the first one taken the night before. The last one of Endeavor is also cool as well. The picture of the Saturn V made me do a double take. My family had visited the Kennedy Space Center in December and I had taken a shot from the same location. Just posted it to Flickr – http://www.flickr.com/photos/jhoweaa/5923509463/

    I love the photo of the final shuttle, reflected in a liquid (oil/water I’d guess). The colours are fantastic – the blue sky contrasting with the copper tones of the fuel tank and the machinery. If I was a kid, I’d print it out and put it on my bedroom wall!

  • Susan

    Have loved all of your photos from NASA and the launches Trey – and so nice to hear about it first hand instead of a news show! Super job and know you enjoyed it – twit tv was good today too!

    You are inspirational, Thank you for sharing your talent. Love the tutorials and learning from you.

  • David Hendershot

    Awesoome, Awesome shots. Its unfourtunate that this was the last shuttle mission. Hopefully there will be a next chapter for NASA and rockets and I look forawrd to your photographing those.

  • Tom Gonzalez

    Trey, these are fantastic shots, I am super inspired and am going to start your tutorial asap! This is the coolist photography since….. well since sliced bread. That’s right, Trey Ratcliff’s HDR is cooler than sliced bread!
    If you are ever in Denver give me a shout out!

    Trey, searched this site from TWIT and, even though everyone else said it, your photography is really amazing. I especially like the shot of the wormhole effect. Thank you and keep up the good work!

  • Rhett Rothberg

    The last one of Endeavour is one of those “you gotta be kidding me” good photos. I remember watching the launch live as the shuttle was swallowed by the cloud deck and capturing that moment in my head thinking how amazing that visual was. Your photo enhances that moment tenfold.

  • Grace

    I’m not a kid, but I still want to print out the Atlantis at night photo and put it on my wall! Are you going to make prints available for order of this and your other amazing shuttle shots? I witnessed the last shuttle launch from nearby Titusville, and want to display a few favorite shots from those who were closer with better cameras! Some amazing pictures that capture both how incredible and ephemeral the last launches were.

    Trey, you have to see these…this guy was there for the Discovery launch.
