Excellent job! Were you near Mosquito Lagoon for the launch? I especially like how you kept on the shuttle throughout liftoff... what model camera did you use? I am looking into buying an HD cam to record the remaining launches with (I live in Orlando).
Thanks for the encouraging comments. The launch video was shot with a Canon HV-20 HD camcorder from the bridge at Allenhurst, FL (check Google Maps). The landing shots were captured at the corner of SR 3 and SR 402 at the north entrance to KSC. This was our first attempt at filming at both locations, so we feel lucky to get any good footage.
Did you have special access to get that close on SR-402 to view the landing? I would love to view / photograph from there because it is so close, but I was under the impression that the area is closed for landings?

These locatons are open to the public, but you must approach from the North on launch/landing days.
