In 2013, Lockheed Martin proposed a successor to the legendary SR-71 Blackbird, which was retired in 1998. The rationale behind this proposal was that there was a coverage gap between surveillance satellites, as one would have to wait for a satellite’s orbit to line up with a target. To be practical, the new aircraft would have to fly faster than the SR-71 to avoid modern air defenses and close that surveillance gap. The proposed concept was a hypersonic stealth UAV that was to be propelled by the simultaneous use of turbojets and scramjets. The SR-72 would have a top speed in excess of Mach 6 or 6751.97 ft/sec (almost twice the top speed of the SR-71’s Mach 3.2). While the IRL SR-72 exists only on paper, Top Gun: Maverick delivered us the first believable hypersonic aircraft on the big screen.
TGM’s take on the SR-72 is a manned hypersonic stealth aircraft with a top speed of around Mach 10. It is important to note that ridiculously fast speed is not entirely Hollywood. In 2004, NASA’s X-43 scramjet reached a record speed of Mach 9.6. In addition, the prop used in filming was constructed by the infamous Skunk Works, and it was so believable that China repositioned a spy satellite to observe it. In conclusion, TGM has shed light on a new, and exciting realm of high-speed aeronautics that is pushing the envelope of what man can do.
Dimensions of the movie prop are unavailable, so I used the IRL SR-72’s reported dimensions. The Darkstar in 1:72 scale would likely be smaller than this model; but nonetheless, I am still very happy with how this model turned out. I am still a little iffy on the windshields, but the only way to achieve the exact shape would be to print it. The model has retractable main gear and the nose gear can be removed, so the underside of the model is flush for “flight”. I hope y'all enjoy it, and happy building!

My collection of Takumar 55/1.8 lenses and associated cameras dating back to 1959, following the recent acquisition of a S3 and Auto-Takumar.
The cameras, from left to right:
Pentax K and Auto-Takumar 55/1.8 (zebra)
Pentax S3 and Auto-Takumar 55/1.8
Pentax Spotmatic SPII and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55/1.8
The lenses at the front:
Super-Takumar 55/1.8
SMC Takumar 55/1.8
With different optical/mechanical designs, and different lens coatings (plus radio-active glass for some), the lenses have different characteristics. But they are all very sharp, render beautifully, and all perform very well on DSLRs.
This is not the complete set of Takumar 55/1.8 lens types (there's a rare early auto 55/1.8 version for example), plus some cosmetic variations in numbering/lettering styles on the Auto-Takumar and Super-Takumar versions.
Photographed by a Super-Takumar 35/3.5.

This is an experiment in building a 1:15 figure.
I built this for a friend (you know who you are!) who might use this principle in one of his future builds.
Based a man of 6ft/180cms. Normally I would superhero-ify my builds by increasing the size of their chest, reduce their waist and lengthen their legs but this is guy has been left 'normal'.
I have purposely left him unfinished so details and gadgets can be added to him later. By changing the colours of the tiles you can easily create clothing.
It was challenging to produce a figure that can do all the poses required (see next photo). If required you can change the elbows to clip hinges (as opposed to plate hinges as shown here).
I hope you like him, at the very least I hope he has given you some ideas.

Rolleiflex model F 2.8 Carl Zeiss Planar : Rolleinar 1 : Ilford HP5+ : iso400 : Kodak Xtol 1+1 : Digitized with DSLR
-- Canon F-1 Camera (S/N 252xxx) 1971-1976
-- Eye-level finder
-- CANON LENS FD 55mm 1:1.2 S.S.C. ASPHERICAL (S/N 68xxx) (radioactive)
Body weight = 827g (with finder)
Taken with a Canon T2i/550D and Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens at f/5.6. 63 1/30-second exposures at ISO100 in a focus stack (DoF stack) were combined with Zerene Stacker using DMap mode. Shooting was done tethered to a PC using the Canon EOS utility. Focus stepping was done by pressing the live view ">" focus button once between each exposure in the stack.
Switched out the 24-70 2.8 today to try out my 50 1.4G on the D700. It did not disappoint!
Jason you were right :)
Week 1:
Libra is the only zodiac symbol that's neither animal nor human -- but surely that doesn't make you any less human. In fact, Libra is among the most sociable of the signs. As scales of old were really "balances," so do you seek balance in all that Libra does. You respond to situations with grace as Libra attempts to put others at ease. Artistically, Libra tries to balance form, content, colors and elements, and for this reason can be drawn toward creative endeavors.
Kicking off a weekly collaboration with my fellow libra, the inspiring, gorgeous and amazing Vanessa.

Je commence un nouveau blog pour photographes avec un ami (en français). Nous y mettrons des tutoriaux, des conseils, et des explications de shootings "backstage", comme pour cette série. N'hésitez pas à aller faire un tour et à donner vos avis !

**彼女は後ろ向きに歩いてる瞬間である。
ボクは右側のヤレた窓や室外機を見上げるアングルで
フィンダーをのぞいていた。
ふっと誰かが横切ったのでフィンダーから目線を外すと
彼女がボクの前をピースサインのまま通り過ぎた。
友達のカメラに向かってるみたいに気軽で素敵な笑顔で。
我に返ると彼女はスタスタと歩いて行ってしまっている。
ボクはその背中に思わず
「撮らせて～～」と声を掛けていた。
すると彼女は振り向き、ポーズを取ってくれた。
後ろ向きに歩きながら。
この歩きながら・・・に少しの照れを感じてボクの胸は
キュンとしたのである。
************
上アングルだったので反射的にSSを２段下げて遠ざかる彼女に
焦りながらピントを探る。笑顔が消えないうちに・・・
「パシャ」
「ありがと～」
「ふふふ」
後で確認したらSSは1/60だった。
露出はバッチリ。しかしピンが後ろに抜けるようじゃ
まだまだ甘いねQ君。せめて前に・・・
こんなピントで喜ぶのはお好み焼き屋だけ。
でもこういう、ちょっとした笑顔のすれ違いって
幸せな気分になれますよね。
ピンが甘かろうが何だろうがとても良い写真だ。
おおげさに言えば愛がある。
だからこそスナップの反射神経をもっと鍛えねば・・
なんて心に誓ったのである。（誓ったは言い過ぎか）
そんなボクの1/60秒間の恋の物語。 fin.
