The second of my future-auto trifecta, this time based on gorgeous retro wedge-front sports cars. Also built irl and then uploaded to digital. Full interior and at best minifig scale, though figures need to be chopped at the waist and finessed to fit. Front wheels can be steered too.
The purpose of the three cars was to look at what I consider the three main areas of consumer-cars in futuristic media: Luxury, Show, and Utility. I am disregarding Industrial and Military as I have made a ton of the former already and I don't really like the latter.
A teenage boy strikes a sudden and quick pose in a small walk-through door in a steel gate as he thinks that I can't get a sharp shot of him if he would move lightning fast.
Well, I have proved him wrong as this photo clearly shows.

It is amazing how fast the sun moves across the sky and how slowly i run in my elder years. I was up in the dark to catch sunrise coming up behind The Mittens in Monument Valley. A sun star was my goal for this morning. Simple enough to do, says I.
Each time i managed to get the sun just at the correct placement against the butte the sun would move a bit more. I chased this scene across about a quarter-mile over cacti, dunes, sagebrush, going as fast as i could trying to guess the sun's next appearance before i finally managed to get this one. After this i conceded defeat as the sun was getting too high for what i was after.
It was a lot of fun. The great thing about it was i managed to get one. I also had an unknown accomplice chasing the rising sun across the same territory. As i turned to leave for the car he was still hopping cacti and dunes, and heading west trying to keep the sun in the right place.
Thanks for checking in.

Autumn is fast approaching and every landscape photographer’s blood pressure starts to rise in anticipation of the glorious conditions about to unfold. The season of mists, subtle light and varied natural colour is upon us and the promise of what is to come, gets most photographers trigger finger twitching! For me the best thing about the season of promise is the colour. It is just so subtle and wide ranging across the colour pallet. Now I’m as much a fan of simplicity as most of us are, but I just crave the widest possible colour pallet in an image as I can, the wider the better the photographic fix!
This image was the result of several years of planning. I have, many times, tried to work this location; I have come up with many versions, abstracts, and even processed several, but haven’t really got what I wanted from it. This is up to now the best I have come up with, but I still get the feeling this ‘special location’ will provide me with opportunities for several years to come… (Maybe I just enjoy messing about in streams, hobbling about barefoot, with people walking past me question just how unusual an activity that bloke is up to)…
Built in 1936 in Kalundborg, Denmark, PAX is a 28 ft spidsgatter with a 51 ft mast . She is a double-ender that her owner desribes as “vuluptous and all about curves”. That includes a gorgeous rudder that follows the canoe-like stern. The spidsgatter was a racing class begun in the mid-1920s as sail clubs across Denmark sought to expand opportunities for families to sail together. The boats were fast, ocean-worthy (modeled after North Sea fish boat designs), had lots of volume below (beamy) and were relatively inexpensive to build .The sail number S45 denotes her original racing rating for the class carrying 45 square meters of sail. For more details: kacicronkhite.com/spidsgatter-pax-port-townsend/ Kaci Cronkhite's book, Finding PAX, is very well written. I found it a moving tale of the many folks the loved and cared for this beautiful saiboat.

solitary,
sun shines bright,
thoughts flying in her head.
time escapes her,
life unravels in black and white.
pen to paper,
but no use.
all is visual,
like an old silent movie in fast forward.
"who am i?", she asks.
"what am i here for?"
she wonders if she'll ever know.
do you know?
like an old silent movie in fast forward,
let her be.
she says she likes silent movies,
she likes silence.
let her be.

The sun sank behind the mountains in the distance. I turned my camera to the left hoping to capture more colors in the water. But the fact that the clouds had turned grey fast didn’t promise me much.
But I also enjoy capturing moody, almost melancholic, twilight skies once the dusk settles in. Right before it gets real dark. And I thought that it was what I would be capturing.
There were at least three other photographers with a tripod, an ND filter and a remote trigger and one of them literally started breaking down one of his two cameras thinking that it was over.
Not so fast. Suddenly the color magenta started coming through the band of clouds hovering over the sea.
It was so unexpected, so unbelievable and so vivid. The color magenta was so vibrant that it didn’t even look real. And yet it was.
Baffled, the guy packing up his gear simply dropped everything, grabbed his remaining camera on the tripod and hastily lunged the piles of rocks where we had been standing down to the water. I could tell that he was quite frustrated by the fact that it was happening so fast.
Soon only the pale, grey clouds returned as if it never happened. And it was time to call it a day for real.
Thanks to Mike I found out how to make this one look alot better. He showed me how to use the motion blur in editing. Thanks again! :)
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

The 7th Special Operations Squadron have operated CV-22s from Mildenhall since 2013, and this is the very first time I have caught them in the fully forward configuration. 'Knife 72' is making a low and fast pas along the Mildenhall runway.
Anybody order a large Corellian freighter with extra cheese? This hunk of junk food may not look like much, but it sure is tasty! Comprised of a large pepperoni pizza, a cheeseburger, a milkshake, a cookie, two hotdogs, and a side of fries, this food freighter is sure to satisfy even the biggest hunger and send the Fast Food Empire running!
