The work itself does keep us coming back.
Had no idea there was a VISA card outage in Europe. That could make for fine fun in a society that has forgotten how to carry cash.

Bowing to greatness anon. Well done.
It's a perfectly acceptable photo.
Hey. If you don't get it you don't get it. No worries.
It's likely that the camera is set for 20 second exposures all the time. You get the fixed objects that way. Not the birds. Not the insect that lands on the lens.
If you follow the link I think he said he was using a Rebel 30?
Anyway, when something moves, you get the blur. But when something moves on a set trajectory, you get the blur and then the final exposure.
So think of it this way: a lot of of that is set landscape, but within the fire of the rocket, there is 20 (or maybe 30) seconds of blurry stack upon stack of rocket plume, and then a fixed shot at the end.
This is the cameraman's original post on FB. I'm sure there's much more to the story by now. It's a public page.

Well this new photo is interesting - can anyone else see the light swirl at the bottom of that shaft? - but until Q says otherwise, Q did use the skunkbayweather photo.
