The International Space Station Expedition 30 crew shot some truly awe-inspiring time-lapse sequences flying over practically every square mile of the globe.



I downloaded the high-resolution image sets that have been made available by the NASA Johnson Space Center and constructed this short time-lapse film in hi-res 2K project format. I was amazed at how clean the Nikon D3S images turned out (even at ISO 3200 and above) which kept the post-processing requirements to a minimum.



Images courtesy of the Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center available from: http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/Videos/CrewEarthObser vationsVideos/



Cameras: Nikon D2X and D3S



Lenses: 28-70mm f/2.8, 14-24mm f/2.8, 17-35mm f/2.8, 28mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.4



Technique: The majority of the images were shot at 1 second intervals, ISO 200-12800.



Post Processing:

:: Downloaded more than 16K hi-res images from NASA for this project

:: Image sets adjusted in Adobe Lightroom 3.6

:: Image sets imported into an Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 2K 24p project

:: Used GBDeflicker for the image sets with shorter exposure times. Highly recommended: http://granitebaysoftware.com/Products/Produc tGBD.aspx

:: Exported as 2048x1024 24p MP4 @ 75Mbps
