“The exhaust trail shifting northward and towards us in the breeze. It was striking and cast some amazing shadows (the diagonal on the right). The scale is somewhat lost here - it was still >3 miles from us. Atlantis by this point was a very small point of light that everyone else was still watching, but I didn’t want to miss this image so I swapped lenses for a quick shot.”
