Wow...you are a master of the 'streak shot'. I hope to perfect it one day, as well. Great gallery; thanks for sharing.

This probably gets a bit blase for you guys as you've probably seen heaps of these launches. We don't get many of these in Australia and it always blow me away with the awesome power that comes with the lift off. Great series, really enjopyed them. Thanks.

Great stuff, I shoot launches as well: http://www.LaunchPhotography.com Always love seeing others' as well, and these are beautiful!

Thanks for posting the images of the Delta's. I live in North Alabama where the Delta IV is made and the Saturns were developed by Werner von Braun. Having been in the plant several times on business and seeing this immense rocket in person really gives a scale to these images. I also shoot a DigiReb and hope to someday get a few images of such an event.

Eric, I had no idea you were such a space buff. I got to watch a shuttle liftoff in 1985--John Runnels (whom you know), Jim Bailey (whom you do not), and I all cut our Friday classes at LSU law school to drive to the cape in a rented car. It was amazing. I regret only that I never got to see a Saturn V go up, and continue to hope that someday I may get to see something even larger get launched. Keep shooting more launches. HPH

Great shots! I grew up in Melbourne. I miss being able to see launches like that. Used to go outside from elementary school on up when the shuttle launched! Miss that! Ahhhhh home!

Guest		06-Jun-2004 23:17
Wow. It must be great to see that kind of thing where you live.

This reminds me of when I was able to get on base for the maiden launch of Challenger. Some day I want to go back for another.

what a great gallery! Last summer we were at Cocoa Beach just for a couple of hours, and got to see a very small liftoff of a satellite. We were in about the same spot as a couple of your pics. It was such an exciting thing...and with your visuals I can really get excited about the bigger launches. Totally amazing to watch! Your gallery is excellent!

Nice job Erik. Looking forward to more launches.
