Because their education spans a variety of science and engineering and operation of highly sophisticated equipment apart from their high skill in piloting and are not selected for their camera autism levels alone.

probably because the selection process for astronauts filters for people with extremely low neurosis. they aren't thinking about it. more broadly they have never considered it as a category of thing that could be that bad or good

Nonsense. The old batch was goat, it's the latest collection of dimwits that are utterly incompetent.

this is an objectively good photo. it’s well composed, tells the story it sets out to tell, and portrays the strange lighting conditions experienced in spaceships cockpit. what did you want him to do, step outside, open the door, and get a zoomed in dutch angle shot on the pilot?

>>4503878
NASA bought that camera ages ago. Nikon hand picks and spaceproofs however many cameras NASA orders, they get tested to make sure they won’t break mid-mission, and then they keep them until they’re about to fall apart.

They aren’t mass market cameras.

space is not magenta, it's digital fuckup, or bad processing, or both

>>4503882
Uggggh how can a fucking spaceship have such terrible cable management???
There is no excuse for this.

>>4503951
It's fake. That's why. They already got caught using green screen.

>>4503878
Nikons and in the past Hassleblads are for making history, Canons and Sonys are to larp on IG.

>he fell for the marketing stunt
not one single production unit nikon is good to take into space

they individually modify these cameras and all they really did was charge NASA less money than everyone else and be more buddy buddy with them
also, nikon has advanced manufacturing facilities in the US which helps the relationship

>>4503911
Buzz aldrin isnt bright pink either. They corrected a color cast here.

You know you can color correct film right? And that they actually made pre-corrected film? And even shot with color correction filters? Right?

Digital just scans whats real so if the light is actually magenta tinged it makes it obvious, more obvious than your eyes would perceive (ie: most people cant see the green cast in LED lighting)

Believing headcanon isn't healthy.

>>4503974
Please look this up. Nikon modifies cameras for NASA and then NASA tests them before using them in space. This is why they are still using a D5.

You had to actually know how to use a camera back then, it wasn't as simple as just opening an app and pressing the shutter button. Cameras in the 60s were still manual focus, manual shutter speed, manual aperture and you'd have to balance all that to get the exposure right (and if you weren't blessed to have a light meter on that camera, you'd have to know the math of getting the exposure right). They also used a medium format camera for it, pic related.

t. still using old film cameras

The Hassy 500 they brought with them on Apollo was also modified to be used with their big gloves, also single lens fitted with limited controls. Basically they made a Hassy function like a Kodak Brownie, simple point and shoot, lens fixed in hyperfocal distance with two modes, close focus for inside the module and documenting closer stuff and far focus for everything else.
So no fine details on focusing and exposure just the most basic stuff. It didn't even have a focusing screen.

>>4504088
Hasselblad should put these on the market for the lomography shitters.

>>4504008
The astronauts will suffice like we just saw, people who just made some of the most important photos in history without being pretentious.
Someone being a "photographer" by career is just retarded. Anyone can take a good photo.
Send a "photographer" in space and to prove he is one would take blurry bokeh rich pictures of floating nutella jars instead of picture of the moon/earth.

Anon, the best pictures ever taken in the past 50 years have just come from an astronaut in the past week from either smartphones or a camera brand that is always ridiculed by you snobs.
Nobody but you faggots care about a random bw picture of a mixed race beggar with fent puke dripping from the corner of his mouth. You're sniffin your own fart and crying perfume!
The one coping here is you.

the d5 is unironically the best low light nikon, plus it's a known quantity
the d6 is the same sensor and the z9 does slightly less well

so did they land and walk on the moon this time?

Because it is all fake and gay so they have to be very selective in what they show the plebs.
