Off she went with a big roar
We spent last weekend at Balls 28, a big experimental rocket launch event in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada - the same place where Burning Man takes place. A big rocket is launched every few minutes. The majority of the rockets are experimental, people often mix their own solid propellant. This black smoke trail is from a commercial "sparky motor", where the sparks are produced by burning bits of titanium sponge. Notice the people and car for scale.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
