Sounds like that should work well Larry. I try to anticipate liftoff by
starting shooting when you get heavy motor smoke. By the time you hold down
the button and the shudder starts, the rocket should be lit and moving.
Does your viewfinder stay live in burst mode? If not you may need to keep both
eyes open and track the liftoff and flight.
It takes practice!!

I’m looking at a Canon EOS 60D that will shoot 8 photos a second. Will that be
good enough? Will the photos look good on a full screen? I see that there some
of you take great photos of the Rockets coming off the launch rods. All I get
is a bunch of smoke. My Song is slow to take a photo. I just can’t guess at
when it will snap.
