my Sigma 10-20's front lens is pretty small in comparison with the overall size of the face....that just might work!

I realize I don't have any lenses suitable for cropped use. The difference between FF and cropped is bigger than I thought it would be. I'll need to get the 10-22 at some point.

Next time try hopping over the fence to get the shot, as long as you have a professional looking camera they will usually let you get away with it.

Thanks! I'm still just learning from scratch so I'm trying! It's hard though, I hardly have any time lately. I've got a job for the next 5 weeks living on campus for some high school college prep program with kids below a certain income level and all this stuff. Maybe I can practice taking pics of them? I'll need release forms, haha.

Thankfully, there's no transmissions involved in rocket propulsion.

These shots were taken with my phone on today's bike ride.
I was riding by myself and figured it was too nice not to stop and get shots.

Saturn V...this thing is HUGE... Complex and beautiful... I have no Idea why the capsule looks like that... It looks like it did a full re-entry burn...look at the pitting!!!... the rest has been restored... and they built a building around it!!! Lights, A/C and a full history of the Apollo program on the right wall... Amazing!

Sweetness, I am so glad that you're enjoying them... its pretty intense when you look to the back wall, you can barely see the people back there...

Plus, this is quite a compliment coming from a pro like you!

Can I jump on the Saturn V bandwagon?

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/billiam29/4756390984/" title="SII Stage Detail by Billiam29, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4756390984_2694f8a3f5_b.jpg" width="900" height="726" alt="SII Stage Detail" /></a>
