For me, the most exciting moment in model rocketry is watching the rocket lift off. Launch button is pushed, and the motor ignites, throwing flame, smoke, and thunder. The rocket starts gliding up, lazy at first, but slowly giving in to the forces and climbing into the sky…
If you have ever tried to capture this moment on camera, you, like me, have hundreds of photos of rockets anywhere in the frame except that moment.
I had to solve this. I wanted a perfect photo of every lift-off.
