Well what to do when the front moves into Kennedy Space Center while waiting for the Shuttle to Land...You try out a new 28mm F2.8 with Leica filter and photograph what happens to be in the area.

The Shuttle landing moved to California due to low Cloud cover (image 1)

inside a 1000 gal. fish tank from the out side (image 2)

and a new born opussum with mother found sleeping and nursing in a trash can (no flash)

The pre launch of Shuttle Atlantis (image 4)

The Launch Comp Trail (image 5)

All with the same lense from C1 to CS2

All I can say is that this is one great lense.

Thanks

I remember going on a tour there and they mentioned that each of the stripes of the US flag was actually the width of a 2 lane road wide. Hard to get a sense of scale of that building unless you're right up close to it.

 

Now the Saturn V rocket that's on display really is HUGE!

Is that what they call the "Vertical Assembly Building"? If so, interesting that you can still see the shutters on the side to let a Saturn V rocket out...

 

Well yes, except we now call it the Vehicle Assembly Building, All 545 feet of it and when we launch Shuttle's I have a camera slocation at the top of it.

Just to give you a feeling of scale, you canstand about 3 grown men near each star.

Thanks

Great scale!

 

It was like yesterday that we were processing and scanning film from the old Heat arena--look at us now :)

 

Boy, that had to be 14 years ago, who can remember that far back.

Just used my MB with 28 f2.8 in a CLEAN room to photograph the Phoenix Mars Lander that will launch in early August 2007. Camera set WB to Tung. raw images corrected in C1. will post 1 or 2 later.
