Well, I finally made it back from my trip.
I have one thing to say....
There is no way to get a time exposure of a night Shuttle
Launch from 3.5 miles away! That sucker is BRIGHT!
I had my OM-G w/ 50mm [ thanks George Shihanian!] on the
tri-pod and got about a 5 sec exposure time on f16 before I could unlock my
shutter release cable. The pic came out, but slightly overexposed!
My OM-101 was using my 70-210 Sigma zoom with a 2x
installed. Those pics came out OK. The Shuttle is small, but in one pic, you
can see the Shuttle, Shuttle main engines, External tank, SRB's, pretty much
all of it.
I shot about 4 rolls in the week I was there. Many pictures
are of the plane I work on. I got some great time exposures of our plane
doing dives [18-20 degrees nose down, just like the shuttle] with CDR.
Eileen Collins at the controls.
If anyone would like to see some, or would put them up on a
picture page, I will get them scanned in.

Thanks!
