Here's one for Russell and the other rocketry  fans.... From NASA (Be 
warned, it is a 2.5Meg download).

I Bet you would want to be that close to a launch!!!!

The image description contains the text: "The Soyuz TMA-9 spacecraft 
launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Sept. 18, 2006 
carrying a new crew to the International Space Station. The Soyuz lifted 
off at 10:09 a.m. Baikonur time with Expedition 14 Commander Michael 
Lopez-Alegria, Soyuz Commander and Expedition Flight Engineer Mikhail 
Tyurin and American businesswoman Anousheh Ansari, who will spend nine 
days on the station under a commercial agreement with the Russian 
Federal Space Agency.  Photo Credit: "NASA/Bill Ingalls"

I got pointed to it because it was taken with a Nikon camera.... yet, it 
captures a remarkable scene.

being from NASA I presume that there was no image manipulation, though I 
can't find any details on this image other than the image itself.
