Big EARS 2007 and June EARS 2007 Photos
Hi all,
As promised, my photos from this weekend are online. Overall I'm
pretty pleased with them - I had a rethink of my camera settings and
shot most of them with the sun behind me, so exposure wise they're far
better than a lot of previous attempts.
Annoyingly a few are out of focus - with the crowd behind the rocket
it's very easy to end up focussed on the wrong point. Something I
shall be paranoid about from now on I guess...
I've also made my Big EARS set available - they're not as good a set
as those from this weekend I'm afraid.
Big EARS:

June EARS:
http://www.nialloswald.co.uk/gallery/v/Rocketry/2007/EARSJune2007/
As usual if anyone wants full-res copies of anything, let me know.
Pretty much all of them are mildly tweaked, but the June ones are
mostly fine straight out of the camera.
Cheers,
Niall

Top pics! There are a lot of good ones, but I think my favourite is
IMG_7319 - kind of sums up the entire day ;)

Congreve F40 (IIRC) Firestarter. Took about half an hour to ignite,
but was very nice when it went. Chris Bohin's rocket.
I was caught out by the slow ignition on Gary's J570W-powered Hawk -
when it went, I managed to capture it but the camera (auto) focussed
on the windsock. Lessons learned about AT motors and photography
there!

It was a 120Ns G40 firestarter. It did take a very, very long time to
get up to pressure and that was on the second attempt too. It's a
really nice set of pics Niall, I especially like this one of Ben with
his Kone:

It was a 120Ns G40 firestarter. It did take a very, very long time to
get up to pressure and that was on the second attempt too. It's a
really nice set of pics Niall, I especially like this one of Ben with
his Kone:

Top pics! There are a lot of good ones, but I think my favourite is
IMG_7319 - kind of sums up the entire day ;)

Congreve F40 (IIRC) Firestarter. Took about half an hour to ignite,
but was very nice when it went. Chris Bohin's rocket.
I was caught out by the slow ignition on Gary's J570W-powered Hawk -
when it went, I managed to capture it but the camera (auto) focussed
on the windsock. Lessons learned about AT motors and photography
there!

Top pics! There are a lot of good ones, but I think my favourite is
IMG_7319 - kind of sums up the entire day ;)

Congreve F40 (IIRC) Firestarter. Took about half an hour to ignite,
but was very nice when it went. Chris Bohin's rocket.
I was caught out by the slow ignition on Gary's J570W-powered Hawk -
when it went, I managed to capture it but the camera (auto) focussed
on the windsock. Lessons learned about AT motors and photography
there!

It was a 120Ns G40 firestarter. It did take a very, very long time to
get up to pressure and that was on the second attempt too. It's a
really nice set of pics Niall, I especially like this one of Ben with
his Kone:

Thanks so much for capturing some shots of PARS.
Oliver's HPR rocket is called WOWROC 2.
(not to be confused with WOWROC 1 - which was his E-class height record
last year)
http://www.nialloswald.co.uk/gallery/v/Rocketry/2007/BigEARS2007/IMG_6021+copy.jpg.html
It's a modified, stretched and much strengthened Sprint, with dual
recovery added. It was the rocket he did his Level 1 on (2G) and has
since flown on 3G several times. He is waiting for the right day for his
4G launch, and it is stable according to our calculations to 6G -
although we'll probably stick at 5G for his Level 2 flight when he feels
ready.
The other PARS rocket you took was of Sebastian's "The Big Pencil":
http://www.nialloswald.co.uk/gallery/v/Rocketry/2007/BigEARS2007/IMG_6294+copy.jpg.html
http://www.nialloswald.co.uk/gallery/v/Rocketry/2007/BigEARS2007/IMG_6297+copy.jpg.html
You saw it in SHORT mode. A second section takes it to 10.5 feet.
Thanks again.

Congreve F40 (IIRC) Firestarter. Took about half an hour to ignite,
but was very nice when it went. Chris Bohin's rocket.
I was caught out by the slow ignition on Gary's J570W-powered Hawk -
when it went, I managed to capture it but the camera (auto) focussed
on the windsock. Lessons learned about AT motors and photography
there!

Summed up your day quite nicely ;) Did you actually fly in the end?

It was a 120Ns G40 firestarter. It did take a very, very long time to
get up to pressure and that was on the second attempt too. It's a
really nice set of pics Niall, I especially like this one of Ben with
his Kone:

Thanks so much for capturing some shots of PARS.
Oliver's HPR rocket is called WOWROC 2.
(not to be confused with WOWROC 1 - which was his E-class height record
last year)
http://www.nialloswald.co.uk/gallery/v/Rocketry/2007/BigEARS2007/IMG_6021+copy.jpg.html
It's a modified, stretched and much strengthened Sprint, with dual
recovery added. It was the rocket he did his Level 1 on (2G) and has
since flown on 3G several times. He is waiting for the right day for his
4G launch, and it is stable according to our calculations to 6G -
although we'll probably stick at 5G for his Level 2 flight when he feels
ready.
The other PARS rocket you took was of Sebastian's "The Big Pencil":

http://www.nialloswald.co.uk/gallery/v/Rocketry/2007/BigEARS2007/IMG_6297+copy.jpg.html
You saw it in SHORT mode. A second section takes it to 10.5 feet.
Thanks again.

Top pics! There are a lot of good ones, but I think my favourite is
IMG_7319 - kind of sums up the entire day ;)
