But TRF doesn't have him listed anymore.

He goes by EAC Firecat now here and over there.

Those pics are outstanding. A photo of an Alpha that makes me want to buy the kit is a REALLY good glamour shot.

If it's him, he no longer mentions where his webpage is; too bad.

That works if your photos on straight on to the rocket;
that got me to thinking that I remember seeing the bottoms
of the rockets in that other guys photos.
Since, it was burning a hole in my head (and had nothing better to do),
I put on my detective cap and found the link.
Check it out, you CAN see the bottom of the rockets:

I flat out loved Leo's photos so much that I messed around and messed around until I could duplicate the look. Thanks, Leo.

I found holding the rocket up against a blue background and getting the right light on the rocket really difficult.

I found it much easier to hold the rocket against an easily removable background, like my driveway, and position the rocket until it was well lit.

Then I photoshop out the stick and the driveway and photoshop in a sky.

Hmmmmm......notice how the moon is in the same phase, not necessarily the same position, in all the shots?

Hey....where's all the grass and stuff that grows in the cracks of driveways? Did you Photoshop those out too?
