The magazine; the old one, the famous one. Millions of historic photos online, most never published. Right here.
No science-fiction authors I’ve found yet. There is one session of photos of Hugo Gernsback, though.
Also one Richard Dyer-Bennet photo from 1947 (needing considerable restoration; maybe this weekend).
What are your best finds?
I was on a zoo expedition last weekend, and I’m finally getting enough time to look at the photos and determine that I did, in fact, have fun. More to follow.

First low-light event for the D700, so no flash at all, and I let the ISO go all the way to “H.02″ (I believe that’s Nikonese for “Oh shit! Two stops underexposed!). Interestingly, I found that, though some of these are fairly noise (especially where the ISO is in 5 figures), they look a lot worse if I run Noise Ninja on them. I need to experiment more with that, maybe find better settings or something.
My first try at shooting specifically for photosynth is not a total failure; parts of the main falls bowl, in particular, seem to have come out fairly well.
Looks like it has mis-identified some matches, and I’ve probably tried to cover too big an area. I shot some more down at Carleton later today, will be interested to see how those come out.
Fascinating toy!
