You Too Can Download Hasselblad's Astronaut Photography Manual

Photography and space exploration go hand in hand. While the adventures of our astronauts are certainly fascinating, the pictures that they bring back with them are what truly inspire awe.

When they go up into space, NASA astronauts are trained on a wide range of equipment, including cameras. Now, you too can learn to shoot photographs like an astronaut. Simply download the NASA photography manual that teaches astronauts how to use the 500EL/M. It's a PDF file that you can grab straight from Hasselblad.

Most of the early pages of the manual are focused on the technical aspects of camera operation, but shooting techniques and photography basics are covered as well. Most of the tips are what you'd expect from a photography manual, but others focus on conditions that you'll only find when taking pictures in space.
