Recently I joined Tripoli Central California's rocket launch event in a farm field at Helm, near Fresno, California. My rocket buddy Steve Jurvetson launched a high power rocket called Sledge Hammer. Steve climbed on a ladder to turn on the on-board electronics, then held his ear next to the rocket to hear the beep-beep-beep to verify proper operation. That's when I took the photo.

 

I processed a soft, a balanced, and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, and cropped the photo substantially to bring the sun glasses into focus.
