Astronaut Finds Passion for Photography in Space

http://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/l [...] photo.html

This page links to some spectacular earth photographs taken by Expedition
10 Commander Leroy Chiao, who lived aboard the International Space Station
from October 2004 to April 2005. He took more than 24,000 Earth
observation photos!

For the photographers - imagine you are taking photographs from a moving
vehicle, and having to take your pictures through a window. Could you get
results as good as these when using lenses up to 800mm focal length?
Perhaps, if you could select your best 10 from 24,000!

I hope you enjoy the images.

Cheers,
David
