Apollo Remastered: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Now, for the first time, APOLLO REMASTERED brings the glory of Apollo and the explorers into sharp focus. I was born in the middle of the race to the Moon, so this subject has always held a fascination for me and this book was such the most amazing find. The project and book received the Royal Photographic Society Award for Scientific Imaging in 2023, and the space community Space Hipsters book of the year prize for 2022. Saunders' use of image stacking to create photos out of the 16mm film footage is clever and invites the reader into some more candid moments.

My son is interested in photography so all the details about the camera settings was a brilliant addition from his perspective but with the new resurgence in space exploration he has also found every page to be endlessly fascinating. Every Apollo Remastered photograph is individually produced and then inspected, embossed and signed by Andy Saunders in a space below the image, along with an explanatory caption - this section is designed such that it can be matted out during framing, if preferred, to produce a cleaner look (note - mount and frame not included). The back matter includes information about the development of space photography, photographic equipment, the restoration process, a list of acronyms, and a list of internet sites with more information. This is as close as any of us will get to joining the Apollo astronauts on their historic missions to the moon—and it’s a lot closer than we ever thought possible.In addition to many never-before-seen images, every classic image - including some of the most iconic and reproduced photographs of all time, are included and presented in unprecedented detail and clarity. Apollo Remastered by Andy Saunders is a wonder - the reproduction of the photographs taken over 50 years ago is truly amazing. Andy Saunders' work takes familiar images and allows us to see beyond each frame of historical film.

Andy Saunders's remastered images are so clear and real that they are the next best thing to being there. The unique application of digital processing to the 16mm ‘movie’ footage helps create a sense of intimacy, allowing us all, for the first time, to ride along with these space explorers on the greatest of all human expeditions. The book itself is beautifully presented, but I have one small bone to pick: why did they print the captions in gray print on a black background? A pair of numbered, holographic stickers is also provided - one to be placed on the COA and one on the reverse of the photograph (after mounting).Thanks to the work of British imaging specialist Andy Saunders and his breakthrough craft of stacking old NASA video frames to sharpen resolution, we have a fresh look at a historic moment in space travel. Saunders si è basato su scansioni digitali ad altissima risoluzione delle pellicole originali, e il suo lavoro è incredibile, sia dal punto di vista tecnico che da quello storico. Panoramic images were stitched together, while some images were stacked to improve the image quality and recover some image details. I find it difficult to even imagine the methodology used to analyze this filmed media and increase the fidelity to such a degree, let alone implement that methodology to achieve such incredibly valuable results and contributions to these historic events. Although there are many breathtaking photos, my favorite may be Ed White, gazing into the heavens from his Gemini IV capsule.

Each print is a large-format photographic print and should be handled with extreme care; ideally with cotton gloves to avoid transfer of oils. Come dice il sottotitolo, questo libro è veramente la versione definitiva della documentazione fotografica del Programma Apollo (con un contributo iniziale piccolo ma non insignificante da Mercury e Gemini). Andy Saunders brings new life to images we have long since cherished and, in some cases, have never seen before.
