STS-146 story in pictures:
Tires too difficult to kick, but we're ready to light some huge fires.
Max-Q
Good SRB-Sep, should be smooth from now on.
Ehrm... it looks OK, doesn't it?
And there goes ET, and hold the "phone home" jokes.
The first sunrise of many.
OMS-2 burn.
Closing in veeeeeeeeery slowly.
Due to lack of space(????) Cupola installation was moved up to FD4.
Handoff complete. Let's plug that hole.
Cupola installed, and SSRMS walk-off completed.
MMPLM intsallation in progres. (Due to the swap there was little time for photos because crew was busy transfering cargo)

15 images limit. 
Removing the launch locks from the Cupola.
Looks great! (Note to self: Remember to bring some nice curtains on the next flight)
Night shot of the completed work. (Those payload bay cameras sure have excellent picture quality!)
Time to leave.
No way back now.
Enjoying the last bit of Zero-G. (I really look like a pumpkin!)
TAEM! (Well, at least the weather is nice)
On @ the 90°
Fairly well lined up.
Hope the gear deploys all right. The go-around will be very short.
That hill is very close! No wonder I touch down left of center every time.

SpaceX Dragon 11 ready for takeoff:
Cleared the launch tower, the Moon is on the bottom left and Jupiter is on the bottom right:
Approach to docking with the OFSSII, i had to wait another orbit because it was getting dark:
Hard Dock! The Dragon is one with OFSSII:

Fantastic shots, all around!
I have to ask though, what addon/s give the updated KSC launchpad and the smoke from the boosters shown below?
I'm assuming the launchpad spotlights are included?

Mission 15
The PTV-1 mission photos are in.
Tower cleared, commencing roll program.
High altitude view of the launch.
1'st stage separation.
Clean 2'nd stage separation, and 3'rd stage ignition.
Space craft separation! Pollux PTV-1 is in a 360x25 km orbit, and needs an orbit insertion burn to achieve safe orbit. The crew took manual control of the beta angle to minimize RInc. 0.02° isn't all that bad for first attempt.
The next generation Castor 3'rd stage is going to be restartable, and will put Pollux in a stable orbit.
Insertion burn almost complete. We need to get the solar panels ready to charge the batteries, or we'll have a short mission this time.
(Warning! The following section contains mostly results of the orbital test, and "spectacular views" wasn't anywhere in the check-lists. Feel free to scroll down to the more exiting stuff.)
Oh! That was close. We better get the restartable 3'rd stage to avoid some pretty hefty fines for littering.
Checkout operations underway. RCS and OMS showed flawless performance, and the navigation accuracy is excellent.
PTV-1 has reached the initial holding point ~500 km behind the station,and radar contact had been established. Orbital checkout tests continuing.
Visual Contact! "I spy" games are getting quite repetitive by now.
Distance is 96 km, and everything looks good for tomorrow's proximity operation test.
PTV-1 has reached the 400 foot mark, and is holding the relative position. Time to initiate the approach abort sequence.
A view of the PTV-1 from the cupola. It will retreat to a holding point 20 km behind the station while technicians on the ground evaluate the test results.
PTV-1 has arrived once again at the 400 feet mark. Orbital sunrise and we have a "Go" for docking.
Funny how the final few meters seems to take much longer then the thousands of miles it took to get here.
Contact and capture! The first part of the maiden flight of Pollux PTV has been successfully completed.
Initial results indicate that the next PTV crew will not have to spend a week+ in orbit before docking. Although it's more spacious then the Dragon, it's not really designed for long duration space flight.

For some reason I'm having trouble loading screenshots from the member gallery. Too tired to figure it out fight now.
STS-150
And here are the screenshots for the STS-150 Endeavour mission.
I didn't snap any of the landing since I made the video, but the launch pics are there because I snapped them before I decided to make the launch video.
The launch.

External tank flies by at the OMS burn to circularize the orbit.
Payload bay doors opening.
OBSS inspection on Flight Day 2
Approaching the station.
A shot of Endeavour from the cupola as it moves into position to dock at PMA-2.
From the docking camera as Endeavour pitches up to align with the docking port.

Right before docking on Flight Day 4.
The crew starts off Flight Day 5 by installing the HabMod2 using the Orbiter RMS.
Success! The module is installed on the main habitat core module below one of the sets of solar panels.
Undocking and thrusting away from the station.
A look at the instruments as the shuttle reenters the atmosphere over the Gulf of Mexico and quickly approaching Florida's west coastline.
