It’s been a big week for this camera — or at least one of its cousins. The beautiful photos of the Earth and Moon taken by the Artemis II crew were captured with a Nikon D5. They have two on board.

One of the best cameras I’ve ever owned. Still do, though it’s mostly retired now — the click count is outrageous (camera geek for high mileage). Mine has been to Iceland, Cuba, and plenty of other stops. The miles don’t equal the distance to the moon.

To this day, the best camera I’ve ever used in the dark. High ISO, no contest. That’s exactly why NASA chose it — not because it’s the newest tech, but because it conquers the dark. Battle-hardened and proven.

Fun fact: in my collection, I have the Hasselblad used in the Apollo missions, a D5 from the current mission, and the Nikon Z9 that will be joining the next one — the one that lands on the moon. You can come see all the cameras at this Sunday’s open house, 11-3, info below.

The incredible photo ‘Hello World’ was taken by Commander Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5 with a 14–24 mm f/2.8 lens at an aperture of f/4, an exposure time of 1/4 second, and an ISO of 51,200, and processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic. More of their photos here.

On New Year’s Eve, I posted about a job I was heading to when the fog inspired me. Well, this is that job. I spent that morning working with the talented and artistic Liz Shea of Shea Interiors. We took ‘after’ photos of one of her recent projects, this incredible kitchen. I will add the text from Liz’s website below that will explain her mission better than I. All I will say is this space is perfect. I am a fan of the subtle backsplash color. It would make a perfect background for photos, though I am sure that was never the intent.

Do you need some interior design work, well check out Shea Interiors website, or follow her on Instagram. I have known Liz for a while and would highly recommend her work, I look forward to photographing more in the future. Hear from her below. Do you have a business? Need images for branding or visual samples? I would love to discuss how I could assist, you can always reach me here.
