A Shuttle Launch from the Kennedy Space Center
THE END OF AN ERA
One of the most riviting events to watch in person is a live NASA shuttle launch at the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I was fortunate to be able to photograph a lift-off to the International Space Station from inside the center in April of 2007 as part of the PRESS CORPS. FOOTNOTE: the space shuttle captured the world's imagination with the power and majesty of its very first launch in 1981 -- its final and 135th mission was on July 8, 2011 with the launch of Atlantis. Discovery was the first shuttle to be retired, followed by Endeavour, then Atlantis. |
 This shot was taken at a distance of 3.0 miles from the launch site at the NASA/Kennedy Space Center on-site press center. I was shooting with a Nikon Professional Digital SLR using a 500mm f4 Nikkor super telephoto. |
