Something makes me suspicious about this image. Shouldn't everything be in focus at infinity? Maybe the far field has been blurred to emphasize the rocket and smoke trail?
Could never decipher any of reddit's $50 billion user interface, but it was a shuttle launch in 2006 photographed by a chase plane. 8 years later, someone finally applied the tilt shift plugin.

ReplyDeleteI think you're right Matthew, this looks to be the original http://i.imgur.com/pPIDlFc.jpg
ReplyDeletePossibly Space Shuttle Atlantis launched from the Kennedy Space Centre on 9th Sept 2006
Not sure if the image was taken from the ISS or a high altitude plane.
From a ballon probe?
