3 days ago, we came back from French Guyana where we lived two and a half crazy weeks! The day after our plane landed, we had the chance to assist to the latest launch of Ariane 5. I had great difficulties to make good pictures because : 1 - our tripod was lost by the air company during the travel. We got it 4 days later, too late ! 2 - the launch was 30 minutes belated and it was getting dark. So I had to shoot ISO 1600... Nevertheless, it was a successful operation and a very impressive beginning for our holidays on the other side of the world ! H.

WOW it must have been a really neat experience! The photo is gorgeous. The sky looks tumultuous and beautiful at the same time.

@e.: This type of launcher makes a great noise and a lot of light in the darkness. It was really impressive, actually, and I hope we will be able to assist other launchings later ! Thank you for your comment ! :)
Considering the technical problems you had, you did really capturing the show! Wow what a cool experience.

@Will Williams: Thank you Will ! I attended 3 launches of Ariane 4 (the former launcher) between 1999 and 2001, and never had cam on me. It was our first experience with Kerstin, I hope there will be a lot of other occasions to capture such events ! :)
Awesome experience! I would love to see a shuttle/rocket launch. Very cool.
