December 22nd, 2017 - SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch!
Wow...I've seen a bunch of cool stuff in my life, but this rocket launch was bonkers. First off, thanks to Jeremy Perez for the heads up yesterday about this...and to John Sirlin for suggesting Papago Park for tonight. I had an engagement session this afternoon and barely made it in time for this. Chris Frailey and I scrambled up the trail...stopped, setup and within five minutes it launched. Was absolutely amazing to see this streak across the sky. I had no idea what it was gonna look like or where it would be exactly, so I started with a 135mm, then quickly bailed to the 50mm (this shot) and then finally a wide angle later. WISH I had known what to expect and time-lapsed it, but I'll put a short 40 image clip together late.
So amazing...I know people saw this from all over town...but wow. This was with the new Sony A7RIII with a Canon 50mm 1.2.
