Obsolutely wonderful images. My mentor and i, work for Goodrich Aerostructures in San Diego, was looking at launch photographs, and wonder what people usually use to shoot space shuttle launch photos; we found yours. Him and i shoot Canon as well, but we don’t have the EF800mm to enjoy like you do. Good luch, and thank you.
