Capturing the Grand Canyon from the edge of space…

Square

Photographer John Flaig takes photos from space. But he never leaves the ground.

He’s one of the pioneers of a new kind of photography that uses helium filled weather balloons to send cameras up to the edge of space.

The resulting photos are incredible.

But you don’t have to trust me, judge for yourself.

Below are a few screen captures to whet your appetite for the main course video at the end.

Oh, and be sure to go full screen on this one to get the full impact.
