The Space Shuttle awaiting launch
by Martin Schiff

This was taken around 2:00am before a scheduled 4:39am launch which was scrubbed due to weather conditions. It is a merge of 4 different exposures done as layers in Photoshop. It is heavily cropped.

Canon EOS 40D
1/30s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Despite the technical issues, still a nice image!

Very cool...can't believe you were that far away!

It's a good exposure and nicely composed, it just suffers a little from the obvious, a 6 mile shot on a 400mm lens.

This is unreal for 6 miles away, very nice.

That would have been neat if you could have closer! I like the light illumination.

Love it! Since they scrubbed maybe I should call them and ask them to wait to relaunch when i am down there the end of March! :0)

pity it got cancelled. Cool shot--pity it was so far away.
