Thanks for all the kind comments. These nighttime launches are really fun o watch and try to capture.

Very early this morning NASA launched an Atlas 5 with a Space Service payload. This is a big rocket and it had five solid rocket boosters so it was really bright. Maybe too bright for my settings, which were ISO 100, f/11, 96 s and with an 18mm lens on a D 7200. I reduced the brightness 1.5 ev in PSE. The view here is cropped a little. Also, there was a layer of fog creeping in.

Group 2 but not because I am "advanced" but rather because I have purchased my last piece of equipment and am focusing on technique. All the equipment sold by the major manufacturers is good but technique varies all over the map. Any camera sold by the majors is capable of excellent photographs in the right hands.

It was fogged over around my house so no photos as I didn't see anything but I could hear it.
Many years ago, my wife and I went to Vandenberg AFB to witness a launch of a rocket our son worked on. We were taken to a lovely grandstand and sat and listened to the launch. It was so foggy, we couldn't see a thing!

My experience here at Cape Canaveral is to set the lens on infinity, set the camera on manual, the shutter on Bulb and use f/16 or f/11. Point it in the right direction and wait for the first light. Press and hold the remote control until you don't see any more light - about two minutes. Don't worry about the moon unless it is in the frame. You will get a great picture.

Great shots. Thanks. Back in the 70's We lived in Bloomington and drove over to Nashville for dinner or a play in a barn. The Nashville House served the best ham and fried biscuits I ever ate. Your pictures bring back fond memories.

I have taken this very same shot many years ago! However, mine didn't come out as nice as yours. Good one.

Don't miss Ubehebe Crater, The Racetrack and Scotty's Castel. Don't let anyone scare you about the road to the racetrack. It is well maintained, or it used to be. Visit there early or late so the tracks show up better. If your car is robust and you are adventurous, almost any of the many unpaved roads up dead-end canyons reveal old mine works that are interesting.

I don't remember the cost but I think it is in your range. I am very happy with my Epson XP-960. It Scans, copies and prints up to 11x17. It uses six inks and prints real pretty color pictures. Although I have never used it, it prints printable CDs.

My friend, who took the picture, thanks you all for your kind comments.

I thank you all for my friend. I wish I had her talent for photography with my expensive equipment!

A friend of mine took this shot from the Olallie Lake Resort in Oregon. Mount Jefferson in the distance. She took it with a phone and it does not have a lot of pixels but i think it is beautiful, non the less.

I played on the tracks as a kid in West Virginia. Those big Mallies thundered through pulling a load of coal and their whistles really blew. It was really exciting. We put pennies on the track and watched them being mashed. My kids, now in their sixties, admit they played on the tracks, too. Your pictures, especially the first, bring back gond memories.

Amen, indeed. I barely made into your grouping as I was born in 1930. I remember being paddled in school for not memorizing my multiplication tables. I never forgot them again! And, I still loved Mrs. Davidson.

I have had Farmers homeowners and auto insurance for about 40 years and they have excelent service. Once I tried to find less expensive insurance and could not. I think they are terrific.
