That's pretty awesome!

Well that's pretty fun, I like that they got NASA without really knowing it was NASA or that even playing a part.

That is rather fantastic. You can now say your work has been in a big film, in a roundabout sort of way. ;)

3 cheers for the f'ing internet, mate. And yes, a nice "little film" :) And for a change, the picture looked exactly like what it was supposed to look like, without it being something that was easily searchable. If that makes any sense.

Kool !!

What an amazing story! The untimely breakdown of your MacBook could almost act as the climax of your own short film. Did they ever tell you how they came about your photo? You'd think they'd at least send you a ticket to see the movie in theatres ;)

... dude, you gave it away for free when they made millions on the film? ... oy ... i don't feel bad charging $50.00 for one little print ... you could have at least accepted a token amount even if it was CC licensed ...

Ami.Sanyal (43 months ago | reply)
ya, I probably would have tried to cash in on it for sure!

That is by far the best story I've heard of this thing happening with your Flickr shots. That's awesome Jeremy

Awesome story - just shows that it's not the creative wonders that make the big buck sometimes! Inspiring.. I could do with $1500 right now to pay for the PS3 I just bought!
The Jaundiced Eye (43 months ago | reply)
You know, CC and all is great, but if they're gonna make money, so am I! I've earned almost $1000 off my photos on Flickr this year, selling them to Newspapers and magazines who contacted me out of the blue. I also know of pictures of my cat being used as wallpaper on myspace accounts, which I am very cool with as well. I would be so jazzed to see one of my photos featured so prominently in a movie! Congrats.

The bit that most touched my heart was 'Apple laptop disk dying at exactly the wrong moment' - I've had that one a few times ...

Daifuku Sensei (43 months ago | reply)
Wow... you're famous now buddy.. Take more of these out-of-the-way shots and you'll be in the credits of other movies as "Director of Photography", hehe.
Congrats.
Proggie (43 months ago | reply)
Very cool! So glad the blog is displayed prominently on the home page, otherwise i would have missed this :)
I would have tried to cash in on it too though, especially when they offered. Every little bit helps :)
btw. I hope you don't get sued for using THEIR image on your stream..hehe

Cool story! Congratulations, both on being in Iron Man and getting to see the VAB. I'd LOVE to be able to photograph in there!

Incredibly & awasome!
How much did they pay you?
adactio (43 months ago | reply)
Thanks everyone for the kind comments; glad you liked the story.
To everyone telling me what I should do with my own pictures; I don't tell you what to do with your stuff—please extend the same courtesy to me. Thanks.

adactio ok. :)

OMG what a great story how lucky are you well done
Dmitry Baranovskiy (43 months ago | reply)
@fetching I will give away any image from my flickr stream if it would made it in such a movie as Iron Man. For free. Well done, Jeremy!
Jane M. (43 months ago | reply)
fetching - Maybe he wasn't "giving it away...for some greater good," maybe he just didn't want the money. Some people sell their photographs for survival and some just take photos for pleasure. Being credited in a film as such could be enough of a satisfaction and an honour!
