Photo from space ordinary soap box

This photograph of the Earth is not from a satellite or a special aircraft capable of climbing an extra-large height. Regular amateur photographer from the UK Robert Harrison (Robert Harrison) - for this (and the following) frames used the digital soap box and an inflatable balloon filled with helium. The camera was photographed every 5 minutes, rising to a height of 35 km, the ball burst and the camera safely descended by parachute into the hands of the owner. According to Harrison, less than 500 pounds was spent on the event. The pictures turned out so high-quality that they even called him from NASA. When he explained the essence of the device to them, they did not believe him at first, because in order to achieve similar results they spend millions of dollars.
