Last month I posted a photo of the International Space Station flying over Jasper National Park. Here is the view from the other side: North and South America from the ISS. The flyover starts over the Pacific NW of Vancouver Island, continues over the western US, down to Mexico, and on to South America. It ends with sunrise over the Antarctic.
This TED talk features George Steinmetz’s stunning aerial photography over Africa. George is a great photographer; his aerial photos are second to none.
Paul Nicklen is probably the world’s top Arctic and Antarctic photographer. His photos are unequalled, as is his zeal to get THE shot. This excellent TED talk gives a taste of the lengths he goes to to get his award-winning photos.
David Griffin, Director of Photography at National Geographic, gave a great talk at TED about how photography connects us, and the stories that the best photos tell.
