As soon as the Airshow ended today we realized that the shuttle was
set to depart in just 3 hours... so.. grab some food and go watch a
Rocket Launch!! (my kid grabbed the camera and didn't realize it was
still set at a high shutter speed from the airshow.. hence the super
dark background)

Jusy my opinion, but I like the dark background.
helps keep the focus on the shuttle.
