Model Rocktery Launches



     These photos are from the model rocketry launches during I-CON 19. (I think 2000's was 19... ^_^;)
     I had problems getting the shutter timing right on the photos, so I got a bunch of photos of smoke trails 8P

     Some more photos at Photoworks.com, I'll move them over here as soon as I find some free time ^_^;
