Ignition Ready
This was one of my favorite shots from my recent trip to the Udvar-Hazy Center, a branch of the National Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, Virginia. The frame centers on the engines of the Space Shuttle Discovery. These engines were so successful in the space shuttle program, NASA will be using the same designs for their Space Launch System (SLS), the successor to the now retired space shuttle.
Using an ultra-wide lens, I was able to capture not only the symmetry of the shuttle's design but the symmetry of the hangar that this giant now resides in. The lighting beneath the shuttle adds a dramatic flair making this an awesome subject to shoot!
