Competing in the UNLIMITED Class; "Hi-Tec Oils" #10 with Michael Cunningham driving along with Narelle Grayland during the evening qualifying session at the Penrite V8 Superboats meet at Temora.
New South Wales, Australia.
Male Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) sauntering across a frozen field. Pronghorn are the fastest land mammals in the Western Hemisphere, and only the Cheetah is faster. Scientists speculate that the Pronghorn, being built for maximum predator evasion through running, evolved to escape from extinct predators such as the American cheetah. Its speed greatly exceeds that of any existing North American predators. The Pronghorn has a large windpipe, heart, and lungs to allow it to take in large amounts of air when running. Additionally, their hooves have two long, cushioned, pointed toes that absorb shock when running at high speeds. They also feature an extremely light bone structure and hollow hair.

Fastest land animal in North America. Sometimes called "speed goats." Our beautiful world, pass it on.
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.

...In a unique color! Looked awesome in person. I honestly don't even know how to describe it. Kind of a maroon/purple color.
The name "Serval" is Portuguese for "Wolf-Deer." Servals can run at speeds of up to 50mph. They are the second fastest cat, second only to the cheetah. This is no small feet since servals are considerably smaller than cheetahs, and are sometimes referred to as "Smaller Cheetahs." The beautiful serval you see here was taking a break from a midday snack when we captured this shot.
Architect Will Blocks is proud of his new 1937 Cord 812 Supercharged. I’m the fastest man in the neighborhood! And state, not even the Police can catch up with the Cord. His two young sons are impressed…
Forced perspective, tabletop photo, with real background. The die-cast model car is in scale 1:18 and is made by Signature Models.
Considered as one of the two fastest in Latin America, making an impressive entrance to the Pastaza River canyon.

Finally, I took a new 350 meters (1,148 ft) zipline at the other end of the canyon. In this one I could make several positions and breathe the pure air, excellent to relax after all the extreme activities.
The Hawker Sea Fury is often regarded as one of the fastest piston-engine military aircraft, reaching speeds of over 460 mph in its production form. While highly modified racing planes like the Grumman F8F Bearcat (Rare Bear) set records, such as 530 mph in 1989, these were extensively altered for performance beyond their original military specifications. Among unmodified piston-engine fighters, only a few, like the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil, with its unique push-pull twin-engine design, approached similar speeds, reaching 474 mph. The definition of the fastest piston-engine aircraft often depends on whether modifications are considered and whether the aircraft was used in a military or civilian context.
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.

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

Yes - sometimes fantasies do come true!
Fastest upload ever for me to Flickr, just 5 minutes from snapping to publishing!
Was happily sat here in my study a few minutes ago, peered out of the window and saw this! Can't ever recall seeing a complete rainbow, even a little double rainbow action happening. Knowing it would last just seconds, in a panic I grabbed the wife's little Sony RX100, stuck it on auto mode, and did a 3 shot pano, hoping that the 3 exposures would be close enough to stitch, luckily it did!
The eider is the UK's heaviest duck and its fastest flying. It is a true seaduck, rarely found away from coasts where its dependence on coastal molluscs for food has brought it into conflict with mussel farmers. Eiders are highly gregarious and usually stay close inshore, riding the swell in a sandy bay or strung out in long lines out beyond the breaking waves.
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated.
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!
Brown Hares are the fastest UK land mammal running at up to 40 mph. Whilst it is lovely to capture them by using a fast shutter speed it loses what was a captivating moment of speed and agility.
Practice for the Liqui Moly Australia 12 Hour Endurance at the great Mount Panorama Bathurst circuit.
On Mountain Straight about 100 metres uphill from the pit exit.

Mount Panorama, Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia.
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.
