He believes it is preferable to lose detail in the shadows of an image than to blow out the detail in the brightest whites.

“I would rather lose detail in the blacks in the low-end than the blow detail out in the whites. If you blow detail out in the whites, it's really noticeable.”

He suggests that capturing images from space involves significant responsibility to share the views seen with the rest of the world.

“I feel an immense sense of responsibility as well. I remember coming in, floating into the cupola for the first time six plus months ago and just looking outside and thinking that I had some responsibility to take as many pictures as possible to capture what my eyes have seen to share with the world”
