Hello peeps.

I have teamed up with the publishers of this fantastic book to bring you an Omega Forums Limited Edition version, there will be 20 examples only that will be dedicated to OF members only.

It runs through the entire NASA Apollo Missions from Apollo XII - Apollo XVII.

A truly stunning book that anyone that loves or collects the Omega Speedmaster or loves anything Apollo/NASA related must have!

The book will also come with a Limited Edition print (To be decided) from the book that is not available to purchase and has been printed for OF members only. The quality of this book is absolutely fantastic and the images are simply stunning. Both the book and print will have matching numbers, for example '01/20'. If it turns out we have more subscribers I might increase it like I did with the Moonwatch only Books.

Size of the print:

19.7" x 19.7" (50 x 50 cm)

2 EXAMPLE PRINT IMAGES





The Book



Description

Photography has become a crucial technique for documenting the history of mankind. The early exploration of space is one such historical event, unrivalled among humanity’s achievements. Fortunately, the skill and daring of a very particular group of ‘photographers’, the Apollo astronauts, were able to bring back beautiful, moving and instantly recognizable images. It is these images that created a new understanding to what it means to be human, living on this planet and its relation to the sun and the stars.

This book presents 225 of these photographs in large print format. Restoring imagery from the original scans of 70mm film rolls the astronauts shot during the program. The book contains a variety of images, ranging from shots taken through the windows of the Command Module of the specular views found on the Earth’s surface, surreal and abstract black and white photography of the lunar surface, to photographs of each of the 12 men in their space suits walking on the surface of the moon.

The book also has a unique and exclusive short essay written by Apollo 7 astronaut, Walt Cunningham, who flew on the very first manned Apollo mission. The essay focuses on his pioneering experimentation and testing of the Hasselblad camera that flew with him on board. It was his endeavours that created the foundations for his fellow Apollo astronauts.

Not many takers of this which surprises me.
