Saturday was Scott Kelby's annual worldwide photowalk, where almost 30,000 photographers around the world meet up in local groups to take photographs.
A friend of mine organised the photowalk in Vancouver, located in Olympic Village in Vancouver. I've been tending to avoid organised photowalks for the past few months, as I don't necessarily find them conducive to producing photos I'm happy with. However, Olympic Village is an area of the city which I haven't photographed that much, and when I have I've taken shots I'm somewhat happy with, so that, along with it being scheduled at dusk, got me to sign up.
In case you couldn't guess, this bridge is called Canoe Bridge (next time, bring wire clippers...), so named because of the way it is wider in the middle. I've always liked this bridge, especially at night with the lights under the handrails, but I've struggled to get a shot that I'm particularly happy with. Despite this, I thought I'd give it another go.
In order to capture the dynamic range and pick up the faint texture in the cloudy sky, this is an HDR shot, with a series of eight exposures in one-stop increments from 2 seconds to 4 minutes. Acquiring these shots took rather a long time due to this bridge being on the seawall, and being rather heavily used! The thirty second shot was the worst -- long enough to make it really hard to get a shot with the bridge clear, but short enough that anyone who was on the bridge would make a noticeable shadow. After about twenty minutes, I'd finally managed to get the component photos.
In the background on the left is the end of False Creek, and the Science World building and geodesic dome. The dome, along with BC Place (out of shot behind and to the left) are lit up in pink this month for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. On the right are some of the apartments and shops that make up part of the Vancouver Olympic Village, first developed during the Winter Olympics in 2010, and one of the fastest-growing areas of Vancouver.

Here I’m presenting the video # 1300 on YouTube channel. The day when India’s first ever semi-bullet train “Gatiman” was about to inaugurate which was projected to clock 160 Kmph, merely 10 Kmph more than the existing King Habibganj (Bhopal) Shatabdi Express. Seen here is the last ever King’s run, 12002 New Delhi - Habibganj Shatabdi Express knocking at exact 150 Kmph behind “Navkirti”, Ghaziabad (GZB) WAP-5 # 30013. This specific locomotive was built using ABB body shell of fire damaged # 30008 which was originally built by Asea Brown Boveri Ltd (ABB). After this instant Habibganj Shatabdi train pushed to # 2 as India’s Fastest Train. Sorry for my camera manual focus for neglecting this moment for 30 seconds.

Can you guess the driver, too? :)
Nice action shots will be possible with these, I guess. However, some more infrastructure is required (plus at least one proper rival).
It seems to me that the visible steering wheel (which, regarding its position, doesn't meet the prototype at all, it's just there by chance) is an important detail - you virtually see the fig grabbing it (which in fact it does not) to keep the car on the racing line.
The Fastest Bird - The Shaheen Falcon, Male
@ Nilgiris Dist,
Tamil Nadu, India
27 Feb 2022
Sony a7riv with Sony SAL 200-600G Lens
The Shaheen Falcon also called The Indian Peregrine Falcon, is one of the fastest birds and can achieve a speed of 240 km/h in level flight but when diving after prey it can exceed speeds of 320 km/h.
As the Word Shaheen in Persian suggests, it's truly a majestic but a small and powerful-looking falcon with blackish upperparts, rufous underparts with fine, dark streaks, and white on the throat. The complete black face mask is sharply demarcated from the white throat. It has distinctive rufous underwing-coverts. Males and females have similar markings and plumage. The females are slightly larger than the males and typically mate for life.
They are found at elevations of up to 1200 m in the hill country, frequenting mountain cliffs and rock outcrops. The sheer cliff faces provide it with nest sites and serve as vantage points from which it can launch aerial strikes against fast-flying birds. They hunt small birds, though medium-sized birds such as pigeons and parrots are also taken. Strong and fast, they dive from great heights to strike prey with their talons. If the impact does not kill the prey, the falcon bites the neck of its victim to ensure death.

X Fastest shot on to flickr ...took this shot about 20 minutes ago. I have been trying to catch this family who nest in a tree in my garden for a few days.....success. It’s a male blackbird and two chicks. I read up on blackbirds and apparently the male bird will feed the young for a long time, even longer than the female. It’s amusing as the chicks are almost as large as their father. The slight green blur on the left is a lily leaf I was hiding behind. I did have to alter the exposure level on the Raw shot using NX shame it would have been nice to have a SOOC shot but not this time
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
The cheetah's flexible spine, oversized liver, enlarged heart, wide nostrils, increased lung capacity, and thin muscular body make this cat the swiftest hunter in Africa. Covering 7-8 meters in a stride, with only one foot touching the ground at a time, the cheetah can reach a speed of 110 km/h in seconds. At two points in the stride, no feet touch the ground.

Leyland Compton Milk Float (Worlds Fastest Milkfloat) (1976) Engine 4200cc V8
Registration Number JFV 36 S (Preston)
This one is rather different to Ernies electric milk cart, rattling down the road. It is powered by a TVR V8 of 4200cc all alloy engine built to produce around 320bhp with a fast road cam and flat pistons. It has Jaguar front and rear axles, disc brakes, 22 inch alloy wheels, power steerind, Edelbrook twin cooling rad and fans. The body is of alloy and fibreglass with a body wrap
And at the time of this picture (probably still is) was Guiness World Record holder as the fastest Milk Float, with its record run timed at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire on 25th June 2014 driven by Rob Gill as a promotion for Weetabix On the Go Brakfast Drinks
Morrison-Electricar was a British manufacturer of milk floats and other battery electric road vehicles (BERV). Their first vehicle was built for a bakery in 1933, and the company ceased to exist when it was finally sold to M & M Electric Vehicles in 1983. In 1948 Austin purchased a 50 per cent share of the company to form Austin Crompton Parkinson Electric Vehicles Ltd though the vehicles still carried their Morrison Electricar badges. Austin formed part of BMC in 1952 which became Leyland Motors in 1969 and finally British Leyland The electric vehicle business became Crompton Leyland Electricars Ltd. In 1972, British Leyland sold their share of the business to Hawker Siddeley, better known for aircraft manufacture, and the company became Crompton Electricars Ltd. Ten years later, Hawker Siddeley decided to sell the business, and it was bought by M & M Electric Vehicles, who were based in Atherstone, Warwickshire. This was effectively the end of Morrison-Electricar, although M & M subsequently adopted the Electricars name for the vehicles that they manufactured.

My friend Devon putts with great power and precision. :)
Disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world right now. As golf courses worldwide close down for lack of patronage, disc golf courses are popping up everywhere. While ball golf courses require clear-cut swaths of land, constant watering, fertilizing and maintenance, disc golf course are inexpensive to build, require minimal modifications to the environment, minimal maintenance and can be built almost anywhere. Where golf is often viewed as an elitist activity for it's expensive equipment, fancy golf clubs and wealthy, snooty patrons, disc golf equipment is inexpensive, the courses are by and large free, or nearly free to play, and as many will attest, is equally as fun and challenging as ball golf.

No chains were harmed in the making of this image. Though Devon has a very solid putt, it doesn't usually break chains. To create the broken chain illusion, I isolated the chains from the background, removed the original chains, and then rebuilt them from pieces of the original chains in this configuration. I used a little motion blur on the broken chains. I hand painted in the little swish, just to emphasize that the disc came from Devon's hand.

"Fastest Girl In Town"
You’ve got the bullets
I’ve got the gun.
I’ve got a hankering for getting into something
I hit the bottle, you hit the gas,
I heard your 65 can really haul some ass.
I’m feeling frisky, you're feeling good
I guess the whiskey is doing what it should
I got the cigarettes
You’ve got a lighter
And when the sun goes down we’ll start a little fire
Ain’t no use in trying to slow me down
‘Cause you’re running with the fastest girl in town
Ain’t you baby?
I like ‘em crazy.
My reputation follows me around
Just makes me want to give them more to talk about
Let’s go to town for a little while
I’ll be wearing nothing but a tattoo and a smile
Ain’t no use in trying to slow me down
‘Cause you’re running with the fastest girl in town
Ain’t you baby?
You’re kinda crazy.
Come on!
I see the blue lights, we better run.
Throw out the bottle and I’ll hide the gun
If he pulls us over I’ll turn on the charm
You’ll be in the slammer and I’ll be on his arm.
Ain’t no use in trying to slow me down
‘Cause you’re running with the fastest girl in town
Ain’t you baby?
Well I told you I was crazy.
No I ain’t no body’s baby.
Hey!
He’s got the bullets
He’s got a gun
I got the hankering for getting into something.

Before I tell you story you need to believe in the impossible. Have you done that? Great. My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. My mother was murdered when I was 11 by a man In yellow suit. My father went to prison wrongly accused of killing her. I was hit by lightning almost 5 years ago, I went into a coma and woke up 4 years ago last week, with a new found power of superspeed. Now this man in yellow I have never met, but one night I felt like I was being watched I went to the window and guess what I saw? Yup, the man in yellow. Anyways Wally still hasn't answered any of my calls, ever since him and Linda started going out I haven't seen him as much. I turn to my good friend Cisco, he has been helping catch these metahumans that have been terrorizing the city.
“Hey Cisco! I had a date with Iris, let me know if there is an attack.”
“Alright! Have fun, but not to much fun.” He winks at me as I speed out the door. Iris West is Wally’s aunt. They haven't talked much since Wally isn't my student anymore. I have trained him for 3 years. He wanted to go off on his own. He got a new suit and he took off with the Titans he still lives in Keystone City, and I see him on a regular basis, but it hasn't been the same without him. Anyways Iris looks amazing tonight.
“Hi Barry,” she smiles at me as I sit down.
“This is a nice place. How did you get a reservation?”
“I know some people.” We start laughing.
“Barry, robbery at Central City bank!” That's Cisco.
“Iris I-”
“It's ok Barry. Go.”
“I am so sorry. I guess I will use that rain check.” I smile at her and she smiles back. I can never tell if she likes that I am the flash or not.
“I'm on it Cisco!” I run to the bank. I don't even have to go in before a man comes running out with a submachine gun rapid firing and whatever he sees.
“Hey!” He turns to me just as his chest freezes. Captain Cold walks out from behind him.
“I didn't really need him. I knew if it was just a simple minded robber you wouldn't come prepared for me.”
“So you killed him?!” He shrugs.
“Look, there are four bombs placed around the bank you can go save the bank and everyone in it, or you can catch a flaming truck about to run into city hall. But you can't do both.”
“Yes he can,” I turn around to see Wally. I can tell Snart is just as surprised as I am to see him here. He quickly freezes the ground in front of him a runs.
“You get the bank I got the truck.” He says to me as he speeds off. I run into the bank grab all the bombs and run them out into ocean and come back to help Wally out the flaming truck out.
“Wally! You run down to city hall and clear everyone out of the building! I will put out the flames. When your done come back a remove the wheels.”
“Got it.” I run about 500 meters I front a the truck and start spinning my arms creating a vortex the takes out the flames. I take off the first two tires while Wally comes back and takes off the rest.
“Just like old times Barry.” I smile at him.

This rescue happened so fast I didn't even have time to turn my camera on... as we were heading to another rescue in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, we spotted this sick puppy crossing main roads aimlessly. We asked a local guy what's the story with the dog, and he picked her up and told us she was a stray living on this street.
He handed little Suzy to Lisa, and we continued to our next mission.
