Command Module & Escape Tower, Johnson Space Center




I’ve had a hard time getting a decent shot showing the “sharp end” of the Saturn V at Johnson Space Center. The rocket is enclosed by a building that ends only a few feet past the tip of the rocket so you can’t get far enough back or high enough to get a really good shot looking down the rocket’s length. On this trip, though, I took a different approach.

This shot shows the command module and escape tower from a position right underneath the last support holding the structure. Using a fisheye lens, I created an interesting pattern picture with the lines of the roof and windows forming an interesting framing parabola. What do you think?

the inside of the building make a great frame as well as lead in lines, fisheye distortion suits this shot well.
