Long Exposure Photographic Treasures | International Space Station

Long Exposure Photographic Treasures | International Space Station

"Taking photos is one of the leisure activities that astronauts enjoy, but how they enjoy it varies from person to person.

I got into long exposure photography last weekend.

The view is completely different from what you see with the naked eye, and the results vary each time depending on the camera settings, the position and phase of the moon, the lights on the ground, etc., making it fun like opening a treasure chest."

"The previous photo was taken about 15 minutes [before this one].

For this photo, the shutter was open for about two and a half minutes.

The atmosphere is different, but which one do you prefer?

Well then, everyone, have a great weekend ♪"
