The closest anyone can get to the launch pad is about 3.5 miles and even that is a media/vip area that requires credentials. So you either have standard media credentials and really long glass or photo-specific media credentials and setup an autonomous remote camera inside of the 3.5 mile perimeter.

Some great things here:
Afghanistan’s anti-polio campaign is bringing the Taliban, the central government, and United Nations agencies together in a partnership that shows the tantalizing possibility of negotiating with insurgents

Fishermen row a boat in the algae-filled Chaohu Lake in Hefei, Anhui province, China on June 19, 2009. China invested 51 billion yuan ($7.4 billion) towards the construction of 2,712 projects for the treatment of eight rivers and lakes in 2009, Xinhua News Agency reported.
at first glance, i thought it was a painting.

That looks chopped. Seems to be over the Ocean, and that's just to calm in the waves.

There's another one I like better where the tip of Endeavour's nose is just touching the horizon line.

Also not sharp, and admittedly handheld and noisy. But taken by a friend of mine and the subject matter ( < 24 hour old Moon ) is fairly uncommon.
