Pale Blue Dot is the name of THIS famous Voyager 1 photograph of Earth, and the title of a book by Carl Sagan inspired by the photo. On February 14, 1990, NASA commanded the Voyager 1 spacecraft, having completed its primary mission, to turn around to photograph the planets it had visited. NASA ultimately compiled 60 images from this unique event into a mosaic of the Solar System. One image Voyager returned was of Earth, 4 billion miles distant, showing up as a pale blue dot in the grainy photo. Britt describes the distance as more than 4 billion miles. The picture was taken using a narrow-angle camera at 32 above the ecliptic, and created using blue, green, and violet filters. Narrow-angle cameras, as opposed to wide-angle cameras, are equipped to photograph specific details in an area of interest. In addition, only 0.12 pixels represents Earth in the photo.
As you can see above, only one part of the image was effected by the saturation boost (circled in red), and that was the Blu-Tak I used to hold the filter in place! To correct this, a custom white balance needs to be set. I took a photo of the page in the same lighting as the final shot would use, and set this image as the custom white balance. With the 300D, this is done by going into any manual mode (P, Tv, Av, M, A-DEP), pressing the MENU button, then scrolling down to Custom WB, and pressing SET on the image you want to use as your white. On other cameras, it is probably done in a similar way, but you should check your manual for more specific instructions.

oh my! That is so crisp and hyper-realistic. The puddles of shadow seem almost like a pool of blood. The shine on that fallen bees body is so smooth it's like a fiberglass structure. Very effective image!
