Overcast at times, nice temperatures in June, Skidmarks in California, Frank Kosdon legal again. What was going on?! Hats off to the board and all the volunteers for a fantastic launch. Find some of my photos from ROCstock 29 after the jump, including lots of Ms, Skids, Greens, Reds, and an L3 flight.

August ROC Launch

Nice day, small crowd, relaxed atmosphere. It was good to see everyone again after a four-month ROC hiatus! I flew two rockets and took pictures of a few others, including two L3 shots.

Photos after the jump:

I apologize for the long load time to view the full-size versions. It’s loading up the full 8.something megapixel file, so at that point, go ahead and hit “full size” near the bottom of the lightbox to enjoy the image in all its glory. I haven’t shot rocket photos in nearly four months, so I’m a little out of practice!

April 2008 ROC Launch

I would have brought back more photos, but my camera battery turned four this month and decided that it didn’t like to hold a charge any more. Thanks to Ken Brown for letting me borrow a pack on Saturday, but unfortunately I got in exactly one picture on Sunday before mine bit the dust — hard. Regardless, here’s a few pictures of the action, biased towards my own flights (two Mojave Greens and the venerable Arcas lighting a red motor). There’s also pics of a L3 shot, Greg Lyzenga’s Thumper painted to look like a carrot, and Tim Scott’s all-carbon Butt Ugly Phoenix on a K550W, with the appropriate flame-to-rocket ratio.
