This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.

The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.

There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.

That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.

@midwestern_ope Reminder that if Wisconsin used Minnesota’s classification criteria to count lakes they’d only have 5K. Everything else is too small.

@B_Carp01 Expecting eastern AL to be plastered tomorrow evening. Not as bad as Montgomery and Birmingham but when a storm chaser friend says to be careful it’s a bit of a shock

🚨 BREAKING:

Wow. This heart-rending ad, when tested, moves swing-state men 2.5 points away from Trump.

Massive.

Please share everywhere.

Women are dying NOW in states with extreme bans. If Republicans win, a national abortion ban is next. Don't look away. #MAGAAbortionBan

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

This is the ad that triggered Trump operative Charlie Kirk. It would be a real shame if it went viral
