Beautiful capture! I shot STS-129 in Nov 2009. Fantastic and flawless launch.

Considering this was shot with a Powershot S3 IS... well.... it's a masterpiece.

The S3 was our trusted Shuttle engineering department camera. I had a lot of fun with it, but i wish i took more shots when Shuttle program was alive

Fantastic image! I would have killed to get a shot of the sts! I also love the Powershot family! I've had four and all were great little cameras.. Congrats! Amazing photo!

Great shot. It was a dream of mine to visit for a shuttle launch but never made it from NZ.

WOW! Awesome exposure and details! ( I would have killed to be so close...I did, however get to see & shoot the launch from about twelve miles away. It was still an incredible sight! ) Kudos to you!!!
