“De Plume, Boss… De Plume!!!” – STS-131 Space Shuttle Discovery Night Launch
This shot was much much more relevant a year ago. But in celebration of Discovery’s final launch a few days ago, I’m posting this. (I was probably gonna post it soon anyway; after going through older pictures recently)
But it’s the plume after Discovery’s Night Launch on April 5, 2010. I almost didn’t even take this shot. After I finished shooting the launch, I grabbed my tripod and started to walk back inside. But I slowly started to see this form. And since my gear was somewhat ready, I just went ahead and quickly captured this moment. Very glad I did though.
