04. Is the light different in space? Are special filters needed? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Jump to: navigation, search

Sometimes sunlight is reflected off bodies of water from Earth or the solar array panels on the International Space Station (ISS), causing very intense light to appear when in space. When this occurs, a neutral- density filter may be required to decrease the intensity of the light so that quality photography can be achieved.
