..Don Pettit created these amazing images while aboard the International Space Station..

..The process used to make these images is adapted from ..Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii.. (1863-1944), whose documentations of the Russian countryside between 1909 and 1912 are among the earliest color photographs. This work predates color film technology, therefore Gorskii used a specialized camera to take three black and white photographs in rapid succession, each frame with a red, green or blue filter placed in front of the lens. These images were then recombined, projected with their corresponding filtration to reveal full color images.

Without the same specialized camera my process is slower. The time between frames can take up to several minutes depending on the wind, a change in the lighting conditions or difficult terrain. The artifact of the resulting image appears when subjects in the frame are in motion.
