More rollout photos

I found this link today on BoingBoing.net. More way-cool rollout pics,
taken with a Nikon D2X. You really, really never see detail like this
from PAO images. :-/

Which means that when PAO finds out about these images, they'll try to have
them removed from the net under some false pretense.

Nice set of pictures. Why would the PAO remove this nice set of pictures?
Where's the rest of the roll?

Let's see some more pictures.

From reading some of the messages on the thread, it appears as if
they're using the 12.1 megapixel D2X as a "finder" of sorts for a
pretty well-known project called something like the "Gigapixel Camera
Project" and they were there with full credentials. I haven't been on
DPReview in awhile but I think I ought to start spending some more time
there. :-)

Anyway, the pics are great. If you scroll down the thread, the
original poster added a few more, plus posted a really good wallpaper
image in a couple of different screen resolutions.

Nice shots! I liked the first one best, as it had a 25 mph speed limit sign.

lol, they're missing some zeros.

And I thought me D70 looked good...
But then I got to shoot it from inside the VAB

That D2X is a helluva camera. When I was looking into which camera I wanted
to get I lusted for it, heavily. At nearly 5 grand that's all it was
though - lust.

They did. They still do. We love ours and shot about two dozen
exposures tonight, albeit of nothing as exciting as a shuttle rollout.

Lucky *******!

Yeah, I could buy the new high-end Martin guitar I just ordered and
still have enough left over for the D70. :-)

That's where I am right now, too. However, it's inevitable that I'll
end up with something like that because I have a lot of Nikkor glass
and I want a high-res digital back. I keep telling myself the price
will come down, but the drop in the dollar sure didn't help.

Ah, a fine guitar that.
I had a prof who was a Martin player and in his exams he always had a
"Buck's Trivia" question and in one he asked Where are Martin Guitars made.
Not knowing Pa I answered "the Martin Guitar Factory". I was just going for
the cheap laugh.
