When was that? Did you take that pic Capt. Dave?

Awsome picture, I used to like to watch the shuttle launches when I was TDY in Cocoa Beach working on the USN Redstone.

Alloy....did I say I was a pro fotog? NOT.
If I could stage that so perfectly, my catch rate would be 100% too.

Someone who knew what the hell they were doing did that.
I can't get a decent fish picture half the time.

C'C'mon..

That has to be PHOTOSHOP'ed. The exposure of the city lights is too perfect for the rocket to be in perfect exposure for one. For two where would or could that have been? It is TOO good to be true! Capt PJ

Pj,

ALL PHOTOS you see today everywhere go thru electronic enhancment of some sort......nature of the biz. Have the abilities, they use the abilities.
I've taken out pro photographers many times to take pictures of the city, the cruise ships for the port authority, the beach, you name it and when I see the finished product it looks like SUPER WOW compared to what I saw that night or that day.

Obviously the exposure of this night photo was done somehow with some serious technical stuff.

Either way, kinda of amazing. Yeah, even bombshell Barbie on the beach gets "fuller utters", and a bit tanner!

This wasn't some snap-shot done by some shrimper standing on a bridge with his touristo single use camera. That's fer sure!

The work involved to do this is phenomenal. Not saying it was done by a pro...I have a dedicated PC with Adobe CS3 and Edius (formerly Canopus software)...with well over 6 terabytes...she's old compared to today's machines...but if she isn't broke...don't fix it!

It still is a wonderful image and could be from a composite. THX for sharing! Capt PJ
