Not the best exposure, but could not pass up the symmetry of the three-plane flight as the trailing aircraft break and cross.
I AM FAST PRECISION

When I first started seriously shooting trains in early 2015, my dad and I would spend weekends on BNSF’s Chilli sub most of the time, but luckily, we started to venture down other avenues. We decided to hit up Springfield to see what it had to offer. Starting in Riverton, we shot about three trains in an hour, the last of which was this local. At the time, NS had a local between Springfield and Decatur. I didn’t care much for power then, but luckily, I shot a great looking high hood in the lead, this was just the stuff you’d see even without a heads up. I can’t imagine the cool things I could have shot if I got on Facebook earlier. In 2023 high hoods no longer can lead, and this local and most of its traffic is gone. Boo.
My newest addition to my collection, the brand new TWSBI Precision in 1.1mm Stub.
The design is nice and smooth with some striations along the cap and barrel.
The barrel posts on the silver twisting mechanism. It securely seats deep into the cap holding tightly with o-rings located on the twisting mechanism.
Operating the piston is a super smooth operation with very little resistance to operate. To remove the cap from the pen, you must turn the pen 5/6th of a full rotation to completely remove and completely sealed, which is a very short travel range, awesome for quick remove and replacement of the pen cap.
The design of the clip has strong resistance and not much bounce, but the design looks good wrapping half way around the pen.
Despite being an all metal pen, it remains very light weighing 31 grams with a full load of ink. It measures out to be 140mm capped, 175mm posted, 125mm unposted.
The pen sports an ink window to see the remaining ink levels. The nib is the same found in the 580AL Diamond. The flow and writing characteristics are exactly like my 580 AL in 1.1mm Stub. I have Robert Oster Fire and Ice loaded up in the pen and it is a very wet flow that has great line variation. #twsbiprecision #fountainpen #fountainpenreview #newrelease
This was shot with two lights, with an Alien Bee overhead with a shoot thru umbrella with a SB800 directly to the right of the pen.
It's always impressive to watch Mountain Goats walk around on the high mountain boulders with such ease. They make us humans look like such clumsy animals.
This guy was showing off his white furry coat - something I was also admiring at the time as the winds were blowing incredibly hard. I guess I'd want a Polar Bear-like coat too if I had to live at 14,000 feet.

NASA's Jupiter-bound Juno spacecraft will carry the 1.5-inch likeness of Galileo Galilei, the Roman gods Juno and Jupiter. These 1:1 scale minifigures are precision milled aluminum (at a reported cost of $5,000 USD each) and will soon go where no minifig has gone before. Weather-permitting, liftoff is scheduled for Friday, August 5, 2011 at 11:34 a.m. EDT.

(psst: Hey LEGO Group... How about making these available in ABS as a retail set?)
These beautiful Waxwings just can't get enough of these berries!
It was a very windy day, don't know how the berries managed to stay attached.
7.62x51mm heavy marksman rifle.
High power and accuracy are the hallmarks of a great precision rifle. Adding versatility to that list, however, is what makes our rifle stand out from the rest.
~ William Barton, CEO of Barton Precision Industries.
A semi-automatic rifle with extreme accuracy, the HMR-25 is favored by many militaries as a battle-marksman hybrid rifle. In fact, it has been put into consideration as the standard issue DMR for the Greater Republic Armed Forces.
Derived by the KH-2002 and using parts of an SR-25, the HMR-25 combines the close combat capability of the former, while retaining the needle accuracy and hard-hitting power of the latter. The result is a highly versatile rifle that can satisfy a wide spectrum of combat roles.
To add to its versatility, a simple hybrid sight is attached to the top of the weapon - the user can either use a 3.5x magnification sight, or flick it off and use the regular electronic sights instead.
Other features include a 25-round magazine and muzzle brake.
The city council around here used an old Fiat 500 to measure the parking spaces when creating this parkinglot.
Environmentalists they say they are. Morons.
Like their efforts gonna change anything.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
In order to get out of your car, you need to park this tight.

CSX Q032-05 brings the "precision" through TL in Langhorne, PA with Tropicana loads and intermodal for North Bergen eastbound on a cloudy afternoon. June 6, 2018.
A male model arcs into a controlled inversion against a muted purple backdrop, legs folding overhead as the arms anchor softly behind. The pose reveals sculpted lines, quiet tension, and a deliberate play between structure and release.
"All I had to do was go out and perform. One of the hardest things was doing those back flips, where you had to jump up and land on the top rope. It's precision movement." -

Collecting a framed print from Precision Imaging. They do a fantastic job on printing and framing. More on what I picked up in a later post!
8.23mm BPAP suppressed carbine.
Silent, but absolutely deadly.
~Excerpt from an AR-133 advertisement.
A prototype carbine using an experimental low audio output round and a high durability removable suppressor. The combination of these two quirks makes the weapon nearly silent when firing in full auto.
Using the AAC Honey Badger as a base, they modified the lower receiver to accommodate a larger magazine, and added grip-ribs to the handguard.
Aside from those differences, it isn't too dissimilar to its parent design.
A tribute to Memorial Day and to all service men and women, past and present...and future.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!
This is a composite image with my original base shot of the red berries against the blue sky.
Without any tweaking, I was pleased with how it came out, but I couldn't resist. I felt that it needed something more so I added the jet with its associated vapor trails. And of course, it had to maneuver through those very dangerous berries.
It's not even Slider's Sunday yet. It's only Tuesday night. Go Figure.
