Minute Man III Test Launch

A test launch of an unarmed rocket from Vandenberg AFB to the Central Pacific Island of Kwajalein.

Vandenberg AFB is around two hundred miles away from us.

The city lights are around the Monterey bay.

The lower dotted lights is an annoying plane that got in the way of this picture:-(

It launched right on time.

BTW, this annoying plane (in a photographic sense) was nowhere near the rocket, so no danger here.


other sizes: small medium original auto

I think the plane adds another dimension to the image.

Cool and intersting shot. :)

excellent job! Love your shots you do like this. I haven't taken any exposures nearly this long yet.

Very dramatic shot Bryan. Well calculated exposure.

very interesting - I like the inclusion of the annoying plane. :-)

Beautiful!

Byran, I think the plane's inclusion in the photo adds to its interest. On the other hand, I might have been far more dangerous to that plane than the rocket - I could have Photoshoped it out of existence.

Very nicely done...

Nice job. I hope the rocket and plane didn't come as close as it appears.

It launched right on time and you got another excellent capture. Eagle eyes and brilliant composition. Perfectly framed with professional touch ... My vote.

Great shot, Bryan.
I am sure you administered the appropriate words of grace to the offending aircraft.

An amazing capture. I'm surprised they let any airplanes fly while they were launching.

You were so lucky to have a clear blue sky - an amazing shot!
