VIDEO

Here are my photos and video from Yuri’s Night Bay Area 2008, a world space party at NASA Ames Research Center that was a celebration of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first person to orbit the earth (see previous post).

The highlights of Yuri’s Night for me was meeting Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 astronaut who was the 2nd person to set foot the moon.

  1. Yeah… ! This crowd of people is appearing to be the first space cowboys without any access to space itself.

  5. Jason - What you might consider doing is linking to all of the coverage of each regional Yuri’s Night. That way visitors will be able to see the full write-ups with photos and/or video.

  6. Hi Scott, These shots look fantastic. I just wonder is it post-processing, great camera kit or great skills. Could you be so kind to share your equipment and just some short description on how you took those. I will be sincerely grateful. Thanks.

  7. Daniel - My EXIF data is published with my Flickr photos, so that’s will give you some info for each photo. Some day I’ll do a proper write-up on what equipment I use.
