| A visitor from - posted Thu October 8, 2009: I liked both the angle of the shot, which did well to convey the sheer size of the spacecraft, and the way the exhaust from the rocket engines looked. | |

 A visitor from Spain posted Mon October 5, 2009:Incredible te way the photographer thought about the heat, maybe loose the camera and storage the pictures before the heat hit the camera. I suppose it would be really hot close there...and my camera is not design to suffer too hot!! ;-) | |
 A visitor from Latvia posted Sun October 4, 2009:Kinda magic :) | |
 A visitor from Antigua And Barbuda posted Sun October 4, 2009:Unreal angle, great framing! | |

| A visitor from - posted Sat October 3, 2009: Incredibile. I have no other words to discribe | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat October 3, 2009: Simply amazing! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: Awesome!!! It boggles my mind to think of the force and power under this bad boy!!!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: Perfectly composed, the planning that went into it really shows. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: Fantastic! This picture brings back memories. I made many trips down to the Cape while living in Daytona. I actually saw this launch! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: Great subject! | |
 A visitor from Germany posted Fri October 2, 2009:It's real, yes? Looks like a collage. Amazing! | |
| A visitor from Canada posted Fri October 2, 2009: All that's missing is the heat blast tearing you to pieces! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri October 2, 2009: Its real and at the same time absolutely unrealistic... | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: Kudos, sir. This is one amazing shot. I would love to know how you knew what exposure settings to use. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri October 2, 2009: Raw power | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: Angle is very important in a shot like this, and you nailed it. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: How do you even start trying to figure out the lighting for something like this? Not to mention the sonic energy alone would shatter most items containing air-voids. Great one-off shot, this bird is not coming back to land! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri October 2, 2009: The detail, the perfect timing, the contrast & the lighting bring across all the power of a launch. (and it is just pretty) | |
 A visitor from Australia posted Fri October 2, 2009:In a word - Stunning! | |
 A visitor from Switzerland posted Fri October 2, 2009:Goood shot | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri October 2, 2009: Simply Amazing. The lighting in the photo is phenomenal, almost has a HDR ring to it. The reflected light from the boosters, and the shadows it cast, gives the launchpad an otherworldly feel to it. Beautiful. Hope the lens you lost weren't too expensive? | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu October 1, 2009: Hard to get shot, very rare circumstances, wasn't on site had to preset settings | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: Awesome photograph- great composition, dramatic lighting, and a subject that brings a whole lot of wonder. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu October 1, 2009: The action, the perspective, and -- of course -- the ejaculatory moment. | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: Awesome, just awesome | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu October 1, 2009: What amazing detail of a rocket at launch - just phenomenal to be so close. I think the loss of lens is worth it to get such a great photo - congratulations! | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: You gave up your camera lens to take this. Nice ! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu October 1, 2009: Great angle with very fine detail, especially from the rocket boosters | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: Outstanding, dramatic shot! A great view from an angle you don't normally see! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Thu October 1, 2009: Those are some badass guardrails. | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: WOW! Now that's HOT! Literally! Awesome camera angle! Animates an amazing event! | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: Pure win | |

| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: Wow. Just wow. | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: Phenomenal shot! Kudos for the dedication... and may the lens rest in peace =P | |
| A visitor from - posted Thu October 1, 2009: Great shot! | |
| A visitor from - posted Wed September 30, 2009: What an amazing photo. It's a shame that it only has about 20k views...less than your typical boring cabin shot. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed September 30, 2009: Thanks for the comments. For those saying they would like to be this close to feel it in your chest, well, you can feel that from three miles away which is the closest we get to shuttle launches and for the above launch as well. This camera in particular was not protected for this launch and the lens that took it was destroyed. But the camera still works! And yes, any time you see a closeup image of a shuttle or rocket launch it was taken using a remote camera, set off by sound or anothe rmeans. If you were able to stand this close and lived to tell about it (unlikely) you would certainly never hear anything again as we are talking some 160-180dB right next to it, far more than any jet engine from an equivalent distance. Hope this helps answer some questions! Thanks again. | |
| A visitor from - posted Wed September 30, 2009: Just amazing!! | |
| A visitor from - posted Tue September 29, 2009: Phenomenal photo. Never seen anything like it. Thanks. | |

| A visitor from United States posted Tue September 29, 2009: Wow, this is amazing. How did someone get this shot? | |
| A visitor from - posted Tue September 29, 2009: This has to be one of the best ever photos on A.net! Truly 5 stars! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Tue September 29, 2009: This looks like an illustration of the future from a 1960s science text book. Amazing. | |
 A visitor from Sweden posted Tue September 29, 2009:The noise must be insane at that range. | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Tue September 29, 2009: Just quietly, how do u get that close to a rocket? | |

 A visitor from Bulgaria posted Tue September 29, 2009:Unbelievable! No words!!! | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Tue September 29, 2009: Can you not be shocked by the unique angle of this shot? | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue September 29, 2009: Fantastic! Superb! Outrageous! Unbelievable! That's the most interesting pic I've seen here at A.net in about half year. Congratulations, Ben, you should be very proud of you. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue September 29, 2009: That's a photo from another dimension :o Congratulations, Ben. Awesome work. Cheers - ZakHH | |
 A visitor from Qatar posted Mon September 28, 2009:Given double hearing protection, I would LOVE to stand so close, the feeling in your chest from standing so close would be immense! But of course I know that this was a remotely taken picture, no man could be so lucky to feel the power of a trio of RS-68 engines putting out a combined 2+ million pounds of thrust! Even standing this close to a B-1B at full afterburner is a near religious experience. | |
| A visitor from - posted Mon September 28, 2009: 10-stars shot! How on Earth did you take this picture!??! Fantastic! | |
 A visitor from Turkey posted Mon September 28, 2009:This is a truly awesome and powerful photo! The angle from which the picture was taken adds to the massive size of the rocket... truly unique! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon September 28, 2009: I don't think any exposed human body can endure the heat and sonic wave at this distance. Nonetheless, excellent capture and awesome composition! | |
 A visitor from China posted Mon September 28, 2009:Uh...amazing shot... yes,how did you get that shot? I always envy those guys who work on the other side of airport fence. But now, all the people should envy you Mr Cooper! | |
| A visitor from - posted Mon September 28, 2009: How did you gat that picture | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon September 28, 2009: Nice exhaust shock waves. | |
| A visitor from - posted Mon September 28, 2009: Simply amazing. A one-of-a-kind shot! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon September 28, 2009: Whaaaaaaa?!?!?! How in the world did you get this incredible shot? I'll assume you took this remotely, but I would imagine the camera was in some heavy duty enclosure to survive. One of the most breathtaking shots I have ever seen! | |
 A visitor from Argentina posted Mon September 28, 2009:Not an aircraft at all (the Space Shuttle is quite an airplane), but surely an amazing picture! | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Mon September 28, 2009: OMG that is amazing no idea how you got it but love it | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon September 28, 2009: I sure hope you weren't standing this close to that thing when the photo was taken. | |

| A visitor from Russian Federation posted Mon September 28, 2009: Simply awesome shot! I have no idea how it possible to take such picture. I suppose that camera was in some shelter, wasn't it? | |
| A visitor from France posted Mon September 28, 2009: Just wow.. 5* | |
