The shuttle launch from the beach

[cigrainger]

I live about 100-150 miles north of Cape Canaveral. Pentax K100D, SMC Pentax M 135mm f/3.5.

1. The money shot:

2. The onlookers

3. The aftermath

I think these are nice just to have as a memory. I have always wanted to see a launch so thank you for sharing these.

yeah the first is very nice but the black and white is interesting as well.

Thanks. There's nothing I can do about the dirt on the sensor -- I clean it just about every day. The K100D isn't weather sealed and every time I'm out on the beach I have to clone out tons of sand/dust. I just didn't this time because I didn't really care or even pay enough attention to notice.
