Space Shuttle Discovery Launch

Barely made to Nasa in time, traffic was hell. Took me 3.5 hours to get home, price you pay to get on the property. These were taken across from the VAB bldg.

#5 is good for me. I wish I could witness a launch, wow! I'd have my camera on high-speed shutter max frames/second!

Eric,

My dad was there. Take any of the crowds? I got to see a launch back in 96. It was early morning. The sky went from black to what seemed like daylight within a seconds of take off. Amazing how much it light up the place. Wasn't into photography back then so no photos.

Stunning!

Wow! You've actually witnessed a launch - and taken photos of it! Good ones, at that.
And they will soon have a historical value to them, too!

Great shots, we were in Florida all those years ago when it was supposed to take of for the first time, delayed so we never got to see the lift off.

Same happened to us back in 1995, Chris, when we were in Florida around the time of a projected launch, but it got delayed and delayed so we never got to see it...

We were really disappointed at the time, would have been one of the ever lasting moments.

Have you another pictures with bracketing?
If yes, you can create HDR images with nice flame details.

Or if you have raw format, you can make addition mask on flame. Now, it's overexposed.
