This was captured with a Canon 6D camera and a 135mm lens. I set this camera up on the “dunes” near the launch pad, right along the beach where these launch from. This was one of 8 cameras I had positioned there, with so many for redundancy since I didn’t know quite how the plume would behave. Most of the other cameras didn’t get good photos
This is also a crop of the full sized photo, which you can see on my website here
