Astronaut's Photography Manual - Hasselblad

I can’t believe I never saw this before. This is the astronaut’s photography manual provided by Hasselblad for NASA astronauts. For those of you who didn’t grow up with a professional photographer for a father, Hasselblad cameras are really high quality, square-format film cameras that were used by astronauts throughout the NASA program – even on the Moon. (The astronauts use digital cameras now.)

So this is a guide written by Hasselblad giving astronauts special instructions on how to take the best photographs from space!
It’s actually a really solid photography guide, with great information on lenses, exposure settings, and camera technique. Any photographer could get some use out of it. But if you happen to be up in space, you’ll have everything you need to get that perfect shot.
