Shuttle Picture

[Bingo]

The shuttle Endeavour took off tonight and for once I was around, the weather was right, and it was nighttime and I remembered.

So I go bouncing outside and sure enough, you can damn sure see it!

So I grabbed my camera and took a quick picture. Unfortunately, it didn't come out that well since the lens immidiately fogged up (Thanks Florida Humidity!) and plus it was a long exposure and I didn't have a tripod.

Nevertheless, I think this is too freaking cool. Considering I'm like 500 miles away and it's STILL this big and noticeable?!

That's AMAZING to me.

Nice one B!

I had tickets to see a shuttle lauch and I was like a few miles away, and they scrubbed it at the last second, and then everyone left at the same time!

I know how ya feel on the quality of the pic. I finally got mine figured out and it's like a whole new camera now!
