   Not sure, but that guy looks to be standing way too close.

   [http://www.flickr.com/photos/brokentoyshop] It doesn’t look like the compression from an extreme telephoto…. For sure somebody is going to eventually get killed or maimed at one of these rocket parties.

   It is perspective compression from the 400mm telephoto again. And being aware and alert that dangerous activities are about may explain why rocketry is safer than golf. 500 million launches and not one death. Further discussion on this topic here, with a much closer near miss.

   Awesome. As for distance, I can say that the G4TV crew was definitely standing way too close to this launch a few years back.
