Wow, that sounds like a great pity. The 'perspective' views with the moon showing on movie camera were unique an beautiful. I expected pictures of this angle to be spectacular and much-used in the furure... Now it seems this view was not photographed with still cams and only the extreme side-view shows the entire station...
Somewhere in all the posts on the site, possibly in STS-135 coverage, it was mentioned that the image editing & release section of NASA was downsized significantly, so what he's saying is correct: they simply laid people off.
Uh-oh -- that does not sound good ...
I think it is a shame that mostly only galleries of missions form the past ten years or so are included in the HSF gallery (with STS-1 or STS-64 being examples for exceptions). Images from earlier missions are only available sporadically in other galleries one shot at a time -- or from images.jsc.nasa.gov in a horrible, horrible low-resolution and garbled quality.
They recently added HSF gallery pages for some missions that involved Bolden and Chang-Díàz -- but only included two or three shots for each flight showing these exact individuals.
I was kind of hoping that the guys working on the HSF gallery could now devote their "shuttle time" to actually building up a full gallery of shuttle mission imagery covering all ages of our beloved space plane -- but now we hear these people are being laid off?
Hello? Where's the logic in it?
Luckily, there are fine people around here who put some great high-resolution shuttle images on L2. But should that not be the job of NASA and its PAO?

It's worth noting that since STS-133, the white bars at the bottom of the images that show their identification code have been missing from all the images in the HSF gallery (ISS, STS-134 and STS-135). This could be evidence of a downsizing in the image editing & release section.
(BTW, thanks for that info Jorge.)
I just saw other 5 images of the iss after undocking on sts 135
images 114.

You mean you saw them in the set which have been on L2 a while. Mainly L2 members in this thread too. You won't turn into a pumpkin at midnight if you mention this you know?

The five images have been added to the STS-135 and ISS-28 gallery page !

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Very nice images!
