Launch Photography: Ben Cooper Photographs Rockets of NASA and More By Ben Cooper Master launch photographer Ben Cooper captures readers' favorite subjects in a new light. Rather than presenting the standard "rocket lifting off the launch pad" images, he provides fresh perspectives. In addition to providing text about manned and unmanned crafts that will pique the interest of shuttle enthusiasts and newcomers alike, he shares wide-angle captures, night photographs, images shot from seldom-seen angles, and more. Readers will marvel over detailed photos of the shuttle before and after retirement, and juxtaposed with nature (Cape Canaveral's launch pages are surrounded by a national wildlife refuge), behind-the-scenes shots, images of the crafts rolling to the pad, and launching and landing too. Photographs of unmanned rockets, such as United Launch Alliance Delta II, Delta IV, and Atlas V rockets, which have been launching for a long time, plus the new era SpaceX, Falcon 9, and Falcon Heavy rockets, will please readers young and old. - Paperback, 128 pages

Thank you Chris!I am pleased to finally announce that my first book, Launch Photography, will be published September 15 by Amherst Media! As noted, the book is 128 pages and features nearly 150 of my best and most unusual images from my first 20 years covering the US Space Program, from the last decade of the Space Shuttle, to the Delta, Atlas, Falcon and other rockets of today! I'm so excited about this! The cover was a tough pick from a selection of my most popular or standout photos and features the 2007 launch of a Delta 4-Heavy. Pre-ordering is now available on Amazon and other book sites. As many of you know, I have been a member of the collectSPACE community since shortly after its founding, nearly as long as I have been photographing launches. I just want to say thank you to many of you who supported me and followed my work over the years. I am proud to have reached this milestone. Ben Cooper www.LaunchPhotography.com |

I've always been a fan of Ben's photography. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on what is likely the best book of its kind. |
