the weather was SO much nicer the past couple of days, we decided to take a little drive and do some quick shooting.
i'd been waiting for the right time of day, the right light, to have the right lens with me.
Update of set 894/452.
So many of the really early Classic Space sets were so much more grounded in near-future science than their later counterparts, and the Mobile Tracking Station certainly fits this vibe. At the time I remember thinking the set was a bit boring and ugly, being basically a grey box on wheels; these days its more realistic near-future vibe and clear, recogniseable purpose are part of the charm.
Seeing as I seem to be on an "updated rebuilds of old Classic Space sets" kick at the moment, I couldn't resist.

This is Max, the 800-lb Alaskan brown bear "cub" (born in 2019) at Bozeman's beautiful Montana Grizzly Encounter Rescue & Education Sanctuary. He's playful like a puppy and as cute as a bear could be. He, like even the older bears at Montana Grizzly Encounter, loves to play in the pond in his outside enclosure.
But the main point of this photo session was for me, a Nikon shooter from the 1970's film days through the 2021 DSLR days, to try out a Sony α9 (aka, a9, alpha 9, ICLE-9) mirrorless body with Sony's beautiful 200-600 mm E-mount lens. I subsequently purchased both, though at the moment I am still climbing a somewhat steep learning curve with the new body. (Almost) all the buttons and functions are there, but my "finger memory" and "menu memory" are most decidedly confused.
Still working on it, but until I get better at the new bells and whistles, please enjoy these many workable photos of Mr. Max.
