Space Shuttle Endeavor - Panasonic 14mm f2.5

This was the first time in my life I actually could have used something wider than a 28mm field of view, but I think the results were pretty decent. All shots handheld with a humble Olympus EPL6.

Very nice! She has seen some miles, great detail, thank you for sharing!

Very nice photos!  Nothing to complain about in the performance of you camera and lens/s used.  Love seeing the wear of re-entry stains on the body of the shuttle.  A magnificent flying contraption the likes of which we'll probably never see again.

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice shots. Were these taken at the new Air & Space Museum in Virginia? They have a Shuttle there, but I don't know which one.

Nice shots, thank you for sharing.

14 is indeed a lovely lens, AF at fantastic speed at such price. Unfortunately except for street snap shooting (put up overhead and shoot, no zoom, no focusing ....), I can't find its place for me....

Thanks for sharing, clear and sharp.

i wonder why the name Endeavour isn't spelt the US way on th fuselage.

The 14mm does have a focus ring. It's electronic and there are no distance markings, but it works for the things I use manual focus on.

Oh, man...I am always at odds with spelling. Being a British ex-pat living in the US, I have a constant battle with the spell checker at work.

I can never bring myself to spell colour as color...much to the annoyance of my work colleagues

Great pictures by the way. Although I am a great admirer of the technology of the Shuttle program as a whole (and a great believer in space exploration as a whole), I am in the same corner as Carl Sagan in that he thought the program as a whole probably set man back in it's exploration towards the stars...as it's primary objective was commercial and not exploratory.
