best use of a boat today.

The predawn launch of the space shuttle was glorious. I was able to get a few after launch pictures but it is very tough to get long exposures clear from a boat that is rocking.


It was just like a night launch except the sun came up a few minutes afterwards.

here is the link to the launch video
