I was looking for some info on my Olympus Stylus Epic and came across this...

Check out the aerial photos this guy has taken from cameras on rockets.
Cool stuff.

excellent link - thanks Becky.

I guess you've got to not worry about losing a few bodies and lenses along the way ....

Wow - great link.

A simple obessesion with photography is clearly not enough, it needs to be combined with something even more challenging - like building space rockets.  I'm going to better him by training a hamster to take the in-flight photos on daguerreotype.

Very cool, used to have the Estes Astrocam rocket. Had a built in 110 film camera in the nose cone. The shutter tripped when the nose cone ejected. Lost it before I ever saw any of the pics

Cool stuff. Thanks Becky. Reminds me of the old school gent who went to extreme lengths to get some amazing aerial photos from huge kites back around the turn of the (19th/20th) century. Glass plate negs...the whole shebang. Will try and dig out a link.
