Note the distinct fire from the solid booster rockets (solid plume of fire, very bright) and the shuttle's own main engines (smaller streaks just behind the tail)

The Rocket Garden at Kennedy Space Center in Florida looks majestic at night. Unfortunately, though, the light on the rockets produced an odd color cast and I didn't quite know what to do with it. I ended up with this.

This was taken in June of 2007 (STS-117). I was visiting Florida with my mom before I even got my D80. I had my little HP r967 point and shoot on me, and it served well. This shot was taken from a tripod while trying to film the launch with a video camera at the same time. I still love it because I think the chances of a bird flying perfectly underneath the launch right at this time are just unfathomable
