My first shots of a nighttime rocket launch with my new Canon Rebel EOS T7. I wanted this beginner's camera so that I could shoot better sunrises, sunsets, and rocket launches. Here's my first try. I used manual focus and let the camera determine all other settings. Nothing like the professionals get, but way more fun than using my cell phone. Click the photos to enlarge and see the detail. It took me a couple shots to get focused and to hold steady.
Looking forward to improving my skills with practice. Living at the beach near Cape Canaveral has advantages!
