Sunday’s Photography Trivia Question
Congratulations Tracey Knight-Simane for correctly answering today’s trivia question:
The conspiracy theorists say they were fakes, for the rest of us they were literally out of this world. What make of camera was used to take photographs when man first set foot on the moon in 1969?
Answer: Neil Armstrong used a Hasselblad Data Camera that had been designed to meet NASA standards. The astronauts had to be able to use the cameras through their protective gloves. The Carl Zeiss company made a special lens and Kodak developed thinner films. Between 1969 and 1972, 12 of these cameras were left on the surface of the moon. So if you fancy picking up a camera of outstanding quality for nothing, you know where to go. Call the studio on Tuesday for your free Facebook profile image, Tracey – 301.393.4515.
