  • June 23, 2024 - 4K SpaceX Falcon 9 Starlink 10-2 launch over La Jolla.
    Some camera shake (not a fluid head tripod), some focus drift (when zooming), but some good tight footage here and there...
    1:40 - Clear bright booster in the plume (through the clouds)
    2:10 - Fairings become visible (fairly good tight shot)
    3:02 - (focus gets soft, camera gets shaky (sorry))
    3:48 - SeaWorld Fireworks.
    4:40 - Re-entry burn.
    This was shot on a Sony A9 with a Sony 70-200 2.8 II, aperture set to f3.2, ISO Auto 100-6400.
    I think this launch video is much better (but no fireworks): • Falcon 9 Sunset Backli...
    That was handheld, but pretty well stabilized (shorter lens 28-70mm).
    What I learned this time (well, confirming my eclipse video lesson): I can't trust the electronic viewfinder without my glasses. I'll have to start shooting with my eyeglasses (darn!). I should try the EFV diopter setting. In any case, zooming throws off focus and I need to be able to adjust quickly and precisely.

      complete surprise. I would have used a wider lens to capture both had I known. Next time...

    Awesome! 😂🎉❤ I was over at MB Ocean and watched and then turned to watch the fireworks at Sea World

      these twilight launches are amazing. I can't even see the daylight launches. We've been lucky to get a bunch of twilights, but now that I'll be looking to get some SeaWorld fireworks in the frame, they'll Never Happen Again :)

    Thanks. Very nice detailed launch footage and very nicely focused (at least for the first half or so). I'm curious what equipment you used to capture this. Thanks again.

      I tossed the info in the Description. The biggest thing I need to do now is use the electronic viewfinder diopter adjustment so that I can actually see if it's in focus or not. I found the EVF to be really important (I've screwed up a number of videos by not being able to verify focus (including the last Total Eclipse video)).

      @@golookup Thanks for adding the equipment list. That is one pricey lens but you got some very exquisite footage from it.
