Because of you, I was able to do it again: this time with a lighthouse!
🕑 Added 2018-08-26 20:51:04 +0000 UTC I traveled to the Parker Solar Probe launch with a crazy idea to combine my top 3 beacons of creativity.Enjoy this 5-7 minute read about what it was like to see the lighthouse in the day / night and capture a launch from the Air Force Station.
Why the delay? Parker Solar Probe launched two weeks ago!!!!111
I had to wait for the 45th Space Wing Public Affairs to approve the photos shared here. If I intend on ever having an opportunity like this again - what they say, goes.
Uncover the settings I used, download hi-res versions of these photos (personal use only), and get prints if interested here: https://www.tmahlmann.com/photos/Rockets/United-Launch-Alliance/Parker-Solar-Probe/
I plan on doing a tutorial / video about FlightClub and how I plan out photos like this soon. Would you be interested in knowing more about that?
Next launch: Final ULA Delta II sending ICESat-2 up on Sept 15. (Vandenberg AFB, California)
Thereafter: First SpaceX RTLS, likely SAOCOM-1A (Vandenberg AFB, California)
Thanks so much for your continued support and making images/this creative career possible. Keep looking up!
