When STS-134 Endeavour took flight, it did so under a low-hanging but thin cloud layer, which is unusual for shuttle launches. After punching through the clouds and out of view of spectators at the press site, the shuttle’s smoke trail and its shadow being cast on the clouds from above became the subject of the photo.

The Crowds

The crowds are another element I wanted to capture, both day and night. This sweeping wide-angle shot (top) shows thousands at the VIP viewing site looking on at STS-127, Endeavour, as it launched in 2009. At night, this can be more challenging, so I decided to frame a smaller group in silhouette (bottom) against the natural light of the launch, which is extremely bright in person.
