Yes, we have seen the outer space images captured by Nikon camera, we have also seen how Nikon and NASA attached to each other in every space mission,
On several occasions NASA has published pictures of Nikon cameras covered in special white housing. Few days ago POP PHOTO Contacted NASA and got some more details: “The equipment under the thermal blanket is a Nikon SB-800 flash in a custom housing that is used during a spacewalk (EVA). The flash needed a special housing because it will not work properly in the vacuum of space. The housing holds air pressure so that the flash will function properly. There is also a bracket on the bottom (covered with a white thermal blanket) that the camera and flash mount to. ”

But this is not a self-portrait, The EXIF information says the images was taken from a 5D Mark II camera, may be NASA uses Nikon on Space and Canon on Land ? 🙂
