  • EDIT: I’ve now seen this is actually the night side, so it checks out.

    This is full of interesting but slightly puzzling information.

    First, it’s shot at 22mm, which is a pretty wide angle, so I guess they were still pretty close when they took it.

    What’s really puzzling to me though, is why did they need to crank up the exposure so much?

    We’re looking at 51k ISO @ f4, I can shoot in really dark places with this kind of ISO (but I don’t, because it looks like trash).

    They seem to be shooting the day side of earth as far as I can tell, so I don’t really understand why they needed that much sensitivity, instinctively I would’ve assumed you’d only need the same kind of settings you’d use on daytime exteriors here on earth (so nowhere near that ISO).
