The fastest lens I have in my vintage lens collection is an ultrafast f/0.7 X-ray lens, the Canon Lens X 60mm f/0.7. This lens was used for X-ray machines before the digital area. This lens is a tank, weighting 2.7 kg. Front diameter is 101 mm, back 55 mm. The flange focal distance is less than 10 mm, e.g. too short for Sony E-mount, which is 18 mm.
I simply used duct tape to attach the camera to the lens, works great, and is surprisingly sturdy. With this setup the focus distance is about 19.5 cm. So this lens has a fixed focus distance, can't focus to infinity, and is always fully open. The depth of field is maybe 2 mm, so it is very difficult to focus. This lens is so fast, I used ISO 200 and 1/200 sec for this candlelight shot. The Christmas tree is about 1 m (3 feet) behind the candle. Each light on the tree turns into a big bokeh bubble, bigger than the sensor, which is full frame.
See short video clip that demos the shallow depth of field, and photos of the lens at the Quality HDR Photography Facebook page: bit.ly/3hWedA9
This lens is as fast as the legendary Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7, that was made for NASA, and was used by Stanley Kubrick to shoot his film Barry Lyndon: bit.ly/2LpV0WY
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended it with the JPG exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Intercity 43102 'The Journey Shrinker: 148.5mph The Worlds Fastest Diesel Train' passes Cossington with 1B23 Leeds - London St Pancras via Nottingham EMR service with 43295 trailing on Tuesday 30th March 2021.

I've previously uploaded an image from this location last October but came across a series of images on the hard drive I'd taken to form a panorama but never got around to stitching them... well here it is. A three frame stitched image in a 3:1 ratio.
Only had about 25 minutes at this spot as had to dash back into town to meet up with Mrs R for our evening meal and it's a surprisingly long walk back from here... the two blurred paddle boarders crossing the lake clearly knew the fastest route!
NO FEAR
Did you know that the Peregrine Falcon is known for its diving speed which can reach speeds of more than 186 mph? Making it not only the world's fastest bird but also the world's fastest animal.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus died that death for YOU and I. The good news is there no more punishment for sin left, we were and are all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Thrust SSC holds the world land speed record set on 15 October 1997, when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and became the first land vehicle to officially break the sound barrier at Mach 1.03.
It was powered by two after burning Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan engines, as used in the British version of the F-4 Phantom II jet fighter.

World speed record holder 43302 seen passing Sileby with the 1B38 1145 Nottingham - London St Pancras 7/11/20. The Powercar itself still holds the record for the fastest diesel train achieving 148.5mph, 33 years ago this month.
What I like about this shot is that it's easy to see that the front wheel is spinning slowest while the back wheel is spinning fastest, and the middle wheel is somewhere in between.

The fastest freight train I have ever seen! The driver was bobbing from side to side as the train motored through and must have been doing every bit of 65 mph I reckon. 70806 working the 6M51 Baglan Bay – Chirk logs train passing through Abergavenny.
Leatherback Sea Turtle: Fastest Reptile in the World: 21.92 mph
Man (Usain Bolt): 23.4 MPH
Sailfish: Fastest Animal in the Ocean: 68 MPH
Cheetah: Fastest Animal on Land: 70 MPH
And the winner.. The fastest animal on the planet is...
Peregrine Falcon: 242 MPH
(Fastest measured speed In a dive)
Enough said! ?
Well not quite... In level flight, the peregrine, with an average speed of 40 mph, is not even quick enough to catch a pigeon!
Luckily I photographed this one in 'Pigeon mode'!
Fastest wedding I ever saw, she took the seed and was gone in like 1 second I don't even know how how I got the photo ...blind luck?.
The fastest land animal in the world is also the most endangered big cat of Africa. Even stranger is the fact that the cheetah evolved from a mountain lion ancestor in North America and migrated across Beringia into Asia, Europe, and Africa. At least two large extinction events led to the eradication of North American and European species, leaving only those in Asia and Africa. Since then, habitat loss, climate change, and conflict with humans has led to the depletion of the African cheetah and an almost complete eradication of the Asian species. Several genetic
“bottleneck” event have led to extreme inbreeding and as a result, a severe lack of genetic variability. This presents its own inherent problems with regard to survival of the species. Overall, the worlds fastest runner may be racing towards an extinction with estimates showing less that 8000 animals left in the wild. Their disappearance would be a terrible thing. #Cheetah

The fastest and most convenient way to access Nikko is on the private Tōbu Nikkō Line (東武日光線) from Tokyo's Tobu-Asakusa station. From the Tokyo Asakusa station, take exit 4, and the Tobu train station is visible once you reach street level -- it's at the same intersection.

The peregrine falcon - the fastest hunter and a real beauty. This guy is member of the falconry at the bird park Walsrode, Lower Saxony, and made a short extra turn to catch a little animal. After meal, he returned to his falconer. What a bird!

This is the fastest turnaround I've had on a single photo in quite a while. I left home early this morning to capture this at Lost Lake. Recent winds mean there were a lot of trees down in that area, which made the drive up (and even the walk in) take a little longer than normal.
Pictured are the planets Jupiter, Mars, and Venus (from top to bottom, over Mt Hood). The star just below Venus (the brightest object in this photo) is Spica.

This hidden spot on Seattle's Queen Anne Hill is on my regular morning walk. It's incredibly compelling, and I've photographed it several times. Although it's in one of the most expensive neighborhoods, the street and sidewalk are crumbling, the street sign is falling over, and the vegetation is growing unchecked. In stark contrast is the view from this spot of the fastest-growing city in America, which currently has more than 50 construction cranes in operation. But of course all booms end eventually, since this rate of growth cannot be sustained indefinitely. And eventually, also, nature will reclaim it all.
The fastest land animal in the world needs its sleep, too. A group of Cheetahs is called a coalition.
