What’s a better way to get a new view of a space shuttle launch than using a “whole-sky lens”? Better known as a fisheye lens, videographer Dennis Biela and his crew used it to catch Atlantis rising swiftly into the Florida sky on its final launch in July, before droplets from the steam clouds obscure the view.
You might already be familiar with some of Biela’s team’s work, including the 360-degree view of Atlantis‘ flight deck that’s been making its way around the internet for the past few months.
