#SBIRS #AtlasV by United Launch Alliance, on 35mm film
Because of processing time, I get to post these images from last week of the #SBIRS #AtlasV launch by United Launch Alliance for the first time as a #TBT ("Throw Back Thursday").
This was my second foray into film after a 20+ year digital-only run, and this time I was using Kodak Ektar 100 shot with the 40-year-old Canon A1 that used to belong to (and meticulously cared for by) my dad, Wayne A Seeley.
The daytime images of the rocket were taken on January 17, 2018, and the streak was taken during the second (and obviously, successful) launch attempt on January 19, 2018. Even though the media was positioned a bit further away than usual, a 24mm lens wasn't wide enough to capture the streak from the NASA Causeway (where we were moved to because of prevailing winds), and, in retrospect, I should have gone vertical for a bit more of the arc.
But the shots of the rocket at sunset came out great. However, they do merely an adequate job of capturing just how pretty the scene was that night as we were setting up remote cameras.
(Note to self for future film shoots: write down the settings. There is no EXIF data attached to the film.)
And, as with my last roll of film, processing and high-resolution scanning was done by The Darkroom. I'm quite happy with their service.
