This past weekend I was in St. Augustine Beach, Florida to spend some time with Robyn. Lucky me, the Space Shuttle Discovery's launch had been repeatedly postponed until our arrival. I had been following the STS-119 Twitter feed for weeks and hoping for this timing!) After checking in to our ocean front room at The Hampton Inn and talking a nice walk along the beach, we caught the first part of the launch on SpaceVidcast.com's live feed which had this funny Mystery Science Theater 3000 feel to it. Once the count down hit 20 minutes we headed down to the beach for the actual launch.



Robyn took the clip (her voice in the background) on my Nokia N95 8GB which has decent motion camera characteristics while I took photographs on my Canon EOS 350D and EF-IS 28-135mm lens.
