SCL Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 <p>My most memorable, which has been posted over the years on various sites, was taken aboard the USS Hornet during the rescue of the Apollo 11 astronauts. The naval staff, of which I was an officer, insisted that one of their officers be on site for the event, so I trained for a number of weeks with the folks from NASA, the UDT/SEAL officers who would do the actual rescue, the ship's crew in my specialty, and the civilian contractors. A side benefit was the opportunity to spend a lot of time with the professional photographers from Nat. Geo, NY Times, and Life, who were aboard as well, all jockeying for those memorable shots. I also had another task, which was to test some new electronic equipment which had been installed aboard the ship, and write a short chapter in the recovery manual for future astronaut recoveries. I got my shot and as a side benefit got a memorable one of President Nixon as his contingent landed aboad ship for congratulations and photo ops with the astronauts.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_stobbs3 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The most memorable I never took was the next to last space shuttle launch from a site in Stuart, Fla. I got up at 3AM walked down to a river bank, estimated true North from the big dipper, and when i saw the shuttle going up I clicked the shutter on my new digital Nikon P50 to get a movie. But in the darkness somehow I botched the movie function. So I can still play it in my brain but nowhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gup Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 <p>Stephen, all that and not even a link?<br> I can't remember the best one 'I've never taken'. I must have misplaced the memory. ;)<br> So, back to the OP's question. Geez, so many. I guess it would be a very personal one of my new wife on our honeymoon, 30 years and 3 months ago. We spent 6 months on our new bike exploring Canada's lower west coast, Expo '86 in Vancouver and the Rockies. It is framed at 5x7 and displayed with a few others at the end of a hall where only we ever see it. Perhaps I'll revisit the scan and print it a bit larger as a result of this thread?</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randrew1 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 <p>This doesn't compare with shooting the Apollo 11 recovery, but it was memorable for me. The Endeavor launch in February of 2010 was the last night launch of a space shuttle. We paid scalpers prices for tickets to the NASA causeway. After spending 5 hours on the causeway at night, the launch was scrubbed. Fortunately, those who had bought tickets for the original launch were allowed to buy tickets to the re-scheduled launch at face value. After another 4 hours at night, we witnessed a launch. Space coast residents have seen many launches. It was memorable for this upstate New Yorker.</p> <p><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-ZN6Jq9k/0/M/i-ZN6Jq9k-M.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-mGzrtx9/0/M/i-mGzrtx9-M.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lookingbill Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 <p>Most memorable shot was traveling to Garner State Park, Texas hiking to the fence-less top of "Old Baldy", an 1800 ft high half dome limestone hill.</p> <p>Been trying to make the 150 mile drive back to the park to do a reshoot in Raw format. This one was shot jpeg.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsignore_ezio Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 <p>It's not a particulary nice or interesting photo, but most certainly it is memorable to me.<br> When asked what gift she wished for her 21st birthday, my daughter said, "Dad, would you bring me on top of Mont Blanc?"</p> <p>I answered "yes", and I did it.</p> <p>https://s20.postimg.org/9n3n8yzyl/Marzia_Bianco0057.jpg</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemked Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 <p>Memorable and nefarious.

bonsignore_ezio Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 <p>This has nothing to do with photography, but just out of curiosity:<br /> Douglas, are you sure that this is actually ivory? For several reasons I doubt it. I've been a frequent traveller to China in the '80s, when it was still possible to find carved ivory openly on sale in luxus shops, but it was always handled as a very expensive marchandise. If your photo depicts ivory, it would be worth well in excess of $1 million, and I don't think it would be placed on the pavement outside a shop and the guy would have such a nonchalant attitude towards it. Most likely it rather is pressed/glued bone powder, bleached wood when not straight plastic - which in a sense is the good news.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texxter Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I haven't posted here in a long time, so it's time to get active with the community again. This image is not memorable, as it's just the face of a man, but I like the expression and the simplicity of it. https://www.photo.net/photo/18357976/near-hampi-india Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a far cry from, "well in excess of $1 million" for the amount shown in that storefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Copland Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hard to pick the most memorable. This was taken at the Naadam Festival horse riding event just outside Ulaanbaatar where people gathered in this large valley to watch the end of the race. Families came together - many riding there on their own horses. The photo has only been posted on social media before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
