Drag race at night

Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.

 

We spent a day in a big farm field near Helm, in the Central Valley of California. LDRS is a big yearly rocket event where people arrive from all over the USA. I also met a couple from Argentina.

 

Night launches are fun. By regulation, rockets need to have some kind of light source on the way up and down, usually LED lights or a strobe light. This is a drag race with low power rockets at night.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.
