It seems I do this nearly every launch... silly habit I guess, because the pictures all look the same...I shot the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, first on TV then as it overflew my backyard.
TV shots: courtesy Central Florida News 13 and NASA.
It must be really neat to be able to watch the launch on TV and the step outside and get the shots you took.
I'll bet you didn't even pause to put your shoes on! ;-)
