Space Shuttle Endeavour

One shot flying towards us and one flying away. We were on the Belmont Shore Pier in Long Beach and the Shuttle had just flown over Disneyland, then Boeing Space Center in Huntington Beach and then flew over us on its way to the Queen Mary and then to LAX where it touched down for the last time.

It was quite hazy today and I had to adjust the contrast up along with midtones and highlights. I added a couple of curves adjustment layers and called it a day.

Shuttle Endeavour flying away towards the Queen Mary - back-lit by the sun on this shot hence the higher exposure

Really cool...I saw her last launch. Took my 83 year old father in law so he got to witness one during his life.
