Hey everyone! This photo is from the GovSat-1 mission aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 that was on January 31, 2018. This was my very first launch shooting as an accredited member of the press for a local news agency called Space Coast Times. Press credentials allowed me to set up my first 'remote' camera that took pictures when triggered by the sound of the rocket's powerful engines. I was also able to view the launch from a location roughly 3 miles away from SLC-40 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
If you are interested in seeing more of these rocket launches and of Florida's Space Coast, feel free to find me on Instagram @marcuscote_photo or my website. I post an original photo every single day!
All photos and behind-the-scenes stories of this launch and future launches are always seen first on Space Coast Time's page.
Equipment/Settings: Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 18-55mm vrii-- 18mm, ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/5000th. Thanks John Kraus for helping make this possible!

That’s so cool, how far away were you compared to the camera?

I don't know a lot about cameras but I do know enough to know that you know a lot about cameras. Great shot!
