From: Getting close to the space shuttle

I used to work at the Orlando Sentinel and was always impressed with Red’s photos after a launch. Having gotten in to photography myself, it’s even more impressive to see how he sets this stuff up. With the shuttle being retired, I’m curious what Red will turn his talents to next.

For each space shuttle launch, there are dozens of cameras tucked into the mangrove swamps, in place for the countdown. In this video, see how Orlando Sentinel photographer Red Huber sets the cameras and the work behind getting these spectacular images.
