Big bada boom
We spent a day launching rockets in a big farm field near Helm in the Central Valley of California. Hundreds of high power rockets were launched in daytime. This rocket blew up at launch -- the motor retainer failed, and the thrust pushed the motor up through the body tube. With that, the nosecone shot up, and the motor started to spiral in the air under its thrust.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
