What happens when you strap a camera to the tail of a jumbo jet?😅📸
In Part Two of my conversation with former National Geographic photographer Bruce Dale, we continue our conversation by uncovering the stories behind some of his most iconic National Geographic photographs. It turns out getting the shot was only half the story. Long before the shutter clicked, Bruce was designing, building, testing, and refining entirely new ways to make seemingly impossible images possible.
We talk about the incredible journey of one of Bruce's photographs, now quietly travelling through space aboard the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft, more than 15 billion miles from Earth; strapping a camera to the tail of a jumbo jet in flight; shooting laser beams through glass globes; and, above all, the creativity and freedom that made National Geographic such a remarkable place to work during those years.
But this is The Camera Café Show, so we also wander into a rather unusual bear massage, an obscure and long-forgotten Kodak film printing process, and how old film projectors found a surprising new purpose in the digital age. That's Bruce Dale: part photographer, part inventor, part storyteller—and never quite predictable.
Grab a coffee, fasten your seatbelt, and join us for this wonderful Part 2 conversation with Bruce Dale.
