NASA: ULA Atlas 5 rocket launch AUG 05

I was very fortunate to shoot from the Atlas V launch from the roof of the VAB yesterday. It was a pretty cool experience to be able to roam around freely after the launch. I found the Discovery Shuttle tucked away into a corner in there! Very cool.

Here are the photos shot from the rooftop and from the remote camera on the launch pad. So glad I nailed the remote camera shot this time!


I also attached the Canon G12 to a rail and shot a stop action video. Make sure you watch till past 15 seconds to see the plume shadow. Pretty cool.


Thanks to Ben Cooper, NASA photographer, for being freaking amazing and sharing his knowledge/expertise. You can see his amazing work here.
