Space shuttle Discovery

[parwhaz]

Took some shots of the Discovery as it passed over the Udvar-Hazy Center. Picked up the Nikon D3100 used for this the day before and I am just starting to get into photography.

This is one of my favorite shots of it, enjoy!

This is nice. The small jet kind of gives size to the shuttle and the 747. Just a tip, try cropping with the aircraft one the opposite side of the image. It will give the shuttle somewhere to go to.

I disagree Bill. I like the other craft being in the pic. If parwhaz cropped that way, you wouldn't be able to see them.

Thanks guys , I do have another image with the shuttle further back due to the jet moving up, but it just doesn't have the helicopter in it. Let me go find it.

I like the composition. Excellent shot.

Photographically, what's important here is the event, and the helicopter and T-38 are part of that. I think they need to be included, regardless of composition. I do think Bill makes a point about cropping, though. The empty clouds to the rear and below the T-38 don't really contribute and can be cropped. That will focus everything on the event.

parwhaz, I think you did well with a new camera. The photo is nicely exposed and everything is sharp. This is an event I would've loved to see. I'm jealous!
