At @7:25 in the above video, one can see the steering of the nozzle. That is a wonder.

^ wow, i can almost imagine Singha Saar coming up with a description , something on the lines of " They stood still, silent and watchful in the early morning haze, 4 tall sentinels, proud and strong, terrible symbols of the nations strength."

Some Lovecraft and LOTR inspired stuff specializes in.

Cross posting from Indian space prog thread

Saw my first launch..from Chennai. Was having DD live telecast on one hand and my cam on the other.

Nothing prepared me for what was to come..

Given the distance from Sriharikota, I was thinking it would be a small spot of flame moving leisurely across the sky.. and boy was I wrong!

Was alternating between glancing at the telecast and scanning the northern skies for a flame / smoke.. then I saw it. And for the first time in my life, said "holy sh!t" involuntarily.. The flame, a searing large one and the GSLV's pace was beyond blistering.. the rocket broke the haze cover a few seconds post lift off, and I barely managed 6 or 8 snaps before I lost track of the trail.

Such a majestic sight, and unfortunately most people did not care..

Will post some pics soon..

Sorry, if I sounded like a teen fanboy..

Just remembered, I completely forgot to upload the pic on BRF Dec 19th Launch of GSLV Mk2

Taken from a chennai roof top.. played with the color contrasts to make the flame stand out..

Kakarat,

Great pics and many thanks!

You might want to use some post-processing filters to see the launch vehicle better. Seems to be lots of water vapor, perhaps an ND and or polarizing filters on your lenses may help.

Thank You
These are unprocessed pictures except for cropping and resizing, I am not good in editing software & in the process of learning. I rent the super telephoto lens & so I dont have the filters for them, even the shop didnt have filters for that lens to rent. The worst part this time was sun was in the background

I am a amateur Photographer in the process of learning and i do a lot of experiments with settings so kindly bear with me
