Floating in a Most Peculiar Way

Normally I'm not a huge fan of the "self portrait in a mirror" photography genre. It may have been gritty and cool on Tri-X with a Leica M3 back in the day, but by the time everyone was doing it in their bathroom mirror with a cell phone, it had gotten trite.

Still, I have to admit that this is some next-level selfie game...

Fine, visor up this time – but at least the magnificent Earth still makes an appearance too. All #spacewalk #selfies (and other photos) made possible with a Nikon D5 with a 28 mm lens in a protective housing (visible in center of 2nd photo). #SelfieSunday pic.twitter.com/AlmUjvCWDj

Of course, the smooth-brained flat earthers immidiately showed up to display their lack of understanding of...well...everything.

The sun light in this picture doesn't correlate... as if it's from 2 angles: the "earth" has it shining more from behind it and then there's light shining directly at you from front. Looks like it was taken in a studio 🤔

She's shooting her reflection in a shiny surface, you dolt. Do you think that might bounce some fill light back at her? I know I frequently use that effect with poster board in the back yard.

Lies and lies!! Research it people!! NASA = Hollywood trickery!!

Well, there goes my ability to even for the day.
