It was never there....

by AxelLuther

When having the chance to shoot a Buran, it is a bit disapointing when the background is something on earth - so I could not withstand to add a space background to the photo.... To make it clear that the background is fake, I selected a very dramatic one (and also, as the shining sun somehow fits to the light reflections on these ball structures in the lower left corner.
I used my Sigma 8-16 mm for this shot.

You shouldn't have told us about the background - you could have spun a fine story for years! As Giulio so rightly says "Only You"!!

e Problem is - the Buran was never in space (and I guess, the Spaceshuttle Cargo-Doors are more white and not that orange.... so it would have been very difficult to tell a convincing story (and hey - Antarctica was already an exotic place to be - space is a place, noone would have believed....)

My first impression was that have you been in space. Great picture.

i so much would love to do that - but from the 2.000.000 euro that I probably have to pay for such a ticket, I still need to save about 1.999.500 Euro (and I don't want this cheap 150.000 Euro Branson trip, where you have no space walk and just these tiny windows.... so I still have to fake
