Space Shuttle Launch Photography

This section is composed of two parts:
  • Comprehensive launch photography advice (including viewing locations), where I give you none other than the expert Stan Jirman; what I know about launch photography, I know from him.
  • Specific advice for different shots from the NASA Causeway (tickets required) and Highway 528 (public location) from personal experiences (click on links for locations in Google Maps).
