Hi Everyone,

I thought, I would share these here, since I left around Midnight, from KW, to make the made dash to the Cape, to shoot the launch today. :driving: These were shot from the Causeway, about 5-6 miles, from Pad 39A.

Good Night..

Thanks for the Comments & Compliments. The Shuttle Launch, definitely hits at the top, of the most enjoyable events I have been to/ shot, thus far in life.

Here are another pair of images. Just some slight adjustments in CS3, and slight cropping again.

Even though the shuttle is soon to be mothballed, it's still amazing to watch.

Thank you. I do agree, that the last shot in post 6 is killer

killer job, how much lens did you use to get these.

1.3x Crop Body + 1.4x TC + 2x TC + 300/2.8 IS = 1092mm Total Focal Length. Effective Focal length, minus the Crop Body is 840mm. :sifone:
