Space Shuttle OAA

Shane112358 posted this to the PreCentral forums.

He says "the OAA is basically the catwalk from the shuttle service structure to the vehicle itself. The door in the picture is the door to the white room, which is at the end of the OAA and serves as a staging area for personnel (called the closeout crew) to help the astronauts into the vehicle, final pre-launch preparations, and also extract them if there was ever to be an emergency that required they leave the vehicle ASAP. The OAA and white room are about 150 feet above the launch pad."

This was taken with an iPhone 3GS by davidteter and simply put I am incredibly impressed by the quality possible from the iPhone camera. Unfortunately, the Palm Pre camera suffers from some pretty horrid color balance issues right now but I am hoping that this is something that they will address in the future.

Up to this point, I have been processing my pictures with Photoshop but it looks like it is worth a try using Lightroom to process instead.

For this picture, davidteter used the following settings in Lightroom:

Incremental Temperature: +15
Incremental Tint: +10

Exposure: 0.0
Fill Light: 20
Highlight Recovery: 70 {this did a lot for the dramatic sky}
Blacks: 0.0

Clarity: 0
Vibrance: +100 {the high vibrance with low saturation was also key}
Saturation: -73

[camera calibration settings] {here's what gives the cool tones}

Red Hue: +100
Red Saturation: -100
Green Hue: +100
Green Saturation: +100
Blue Hue: -100
Blue Saturation: +100

Revolution No. 9

Picture by jakerome on Flickr. Post-processed using Photoshop with permission.

I was originally going to post a comment that this reminded me of the Beatles song, Revolution No. 9 before I noticed the title to Jake's picture =) If you have never listened to this track, I suggest checking it out. It is very un-Beatles and quite disturbing.

From Wikipedia

"Revolution 9" is a recorded composition that appeared on The Beatles' 1968 self-titled LP release.

The recording began as an extended ending to the album version of "Revolution", to which were added vocal and music sound clips, tape loops, reverse sound/music and sound effects influenced by the musique concrète styles of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Edgard Varèse, Luigi Nono, and John Cage, further manipulated with editing and sound modification techniques (stereo panning and fading). At over eight minutes, it is the longest track on the album, as well as the longest Beatles track ever officially released, excluding the unreleased track "Carnival of Light" (which clocks in at 13 minutes, 48 seconds), which is said to carry avant-garde influences as well.

The work is credited to Lennon/McCartney, but Paul McCartney did not actively participate in the track's creation. In actuality, "Revolution 9" was primarily the work of John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, although Yoko Ono made small contributions (and, perhaps more importantly, her avant-garde influence on Lennon's compositional style is clear throughout the work.)

Believing the track to be too uncommercial for even the Beatles to get away with, McCartney and producer George Martin fought hard to keep the track off the The Beatles, but Lennon and Ono won out, and the track was included as the penultimate track of the album's fourth (and final) side.
