Some more pic's of that big metal Bird

#6 and #8, i love in 8 how it show just how huge that thing is next to the little pickup. not to go to off topic but when is the next launch? they have what 2 more left?

Discovery launches Nov 1 at 4:40p.m. not sure about the other one.

from the area they let visitors watch how is it? my longest lens is 300mm on a crop, should i look into renting something longer and maybe a 2x? i plan to take my kids to see one of the final shuttle launches. i have always wanted to see one but never had a chance.

there are a few visitor areas, which one are you referring to? I usually shot from across the VAB building next to the Press area. I believe that is the closest spot you can get to. 300mm with a crop might be ok. I will go back and look and the last launch i shot and see what the focal distance used, not sure which lens i used!

Don't get me wrong here, I've been a fan of these kind of things since before the first Mercury/Redstone days to the present time, but ......
.........what has this to do with Nature & Wildlife ?

Nice shots BTW....quite interesting.

Eric, I like these series more than your bird shots, if that is possible....

No photographer for Nasa...just a weekend warrior who always has his gear!

I am an Electrical Contractor with some contract work on the property which gives me access to most areas. I have some shots from Launch pad B which is being demoed. Cool to be close to so much space history! Can't wait for the launch, I should be next to the Media area for those shots.

Oh...the reason I posted in this forum is because it's the one I post the most in and wanted to share these with my Photo Forum friends!

Nice of them to light it so nice for you... A diffuser would have been a good idea... Mention that to them next time!

#8 gets my vote!
