Still Waters Posted September 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2012 When you think how much it costs the likes of NASA to take astonishing images like this, it’s even more impressive what a teenager can do on a £200 budget. Adam Cudworth, 19, of Ombersley, Worcestershire, managed to capture these incredible views of the earth from space - using little more than a balloon and a second-hand £30 camera bought on eBay. With a scientific background consisting of just a physics A-Level, Adam spent 40 hours working on a homemade box with a GPS tracker, radio and microprocessor - which he released last Thursday. http://www.dailymail...ra-balloon.html 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasina Posted September 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Bloody kids nowadays. They're either playing video games all day or showing up the adults with their balloon-cameras. Amazing and beautiful photos. I hope he does it again or someone else follows along in the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
