Saturn V Engine Fairing Abstract
There can be few more impressive examples of engineering on the planet than the Saturn V moon rocket. I’ve been very much enjoying documenting the Saturn V at Johnson Space Center over the last couple of years and this is almost certainly my favorite image from that project so far. It shows a section of one of the fairings on the first stage that shields an outboard engine. Prints of this image are available with widths between 36″ and 60″. Available Sizes 60" x 40" $960.00 USD 48" x 32" $765.00 USD 36" x 24" $465.00...

Prints of this image are available with widths between 36″ and 60″. Available Sizes 60" x 40" $960.00 USD 48" x 32" $765.00 USD 36" x 24" $465.00 USD

The Texas State Capitol is undoubtedly one of the most photographer-friendly public buildings I’ve ever had the pleasure to visit (and I’ve visited it a great deal over the last couple of decades). Not only is access easy despite new security checkpoints, it’s also open late every night. If you are in Austin, make sure to visit the building and take one of the free guided tours. Despite the apparent simplicity of this shot, getting a decent image of the interior of the dome is surprisingly tricky due to the enormous difference in light levels from the sunlit area near the...
