The "Light Show" rocket came in ballistic on Friday night - see previous post. The 7 feet rocket buried deep into the playa of the Black Rock Desert. Only the tail with fins and a few LED light strips remain above ground, with small shrapnel lying around the point of impact. Such a bummer! The owner spent many many hours building this rocket, poor guy! Well, failure is part of rocketry.
I took this exposure shortly after sunrise. The playa material is gypsum. It is kind of soft, so you can easily see tire tracks. At high speeds it feels like driving on snow.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from 2 RAW exposures.
