Space is important when I'm quilting on my long arm machine. I look at each tiny space as a blank canvas... And as I quilt in one- I'm looking ahead to the next space deciding how I will move into it and then what goes within- lines, circles, squiggles - all at 1200 stitches per minute! #cy365 #captureyour365 #space #innova #machinequilting #red #23of365
Day 56 - "Negative space". I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all worried about coming out in a heinous rash with the $2 shop face paint.
This vignette was shot on top of a piece of sheet metal, photographed with a wide-angle lens with a closeup filter, and taken in front of a web of Christmas lights. Although I took this photo inside my house, the original idea was supposed to be shot outside. Shortly after taking the photos of my spacemen in front of Christmas lights for a bokeh effect in Lancaster, I decided to one-up this setting by shooting a group photo of the astronauts in front of a large display of multicolored lights. To do this, I scouted for locations in Queens and Long Island that had good vantage points in front of Christmas lights. I found a Catholic school in Whitestone called St. Mel’s, which had an impressive array of lights. On one Saturday night I drove to the school/church to photograph test images, but alas found no suitable areas to setup the whole group photo with their instruments. The best I could do was to shoot a few photos of individual minifigs along a railing, but not the whole band. I ended up not using any of the test photos, and instead opted to shoot the scene indoors. The major challenge I ran into was getting the whole band in focus while keeping the Christmas lights blurry for a bokeh pattern. Due to space limitations in my attic studio, I wasn’t able to achieve the proper depth-of-field techniques I wanted, and instead settled for the yellow drummer out of focus. Another major issue was the fact that the Space Policeman (red visor, lead guitar) kept toppling over at any slight jolt.
I really like the first waves of Classic Space sets, but the one I prefer are those which I've really know in my childhood, so it's more the 1983-1986 era of CS.
I didn't had this 6926 as a kid, but since I've finally get it some years ago, I'm a big fan of it. Creating an alternate color scheme for this particular set
wasn't that easy, but I'm rather happy with this one ^^
Here's a space station I made a while back. I had to wait to get some black card for the perfect background!
Playing with Fireworks - Each image was produced from 6 images. A fun little experiment that felt more like flower arranging to me.
Camera Settings: F:8, 1\350 second, ISO 6400, 140mm lens. Editing in Lightroom and Photoshops LAB Color Space.
Photographed at the Taber Cornfest 2023. Taber, Alberta, Canada. A great way to end the summer.
Not much to say here. Built this while at school. Now that I'm back I've finally taken pictures of it.
The bus has no driver, but has a robot instead. The robot sits in the middle, so *both* front seats are free for taking. Yee!
Scattered clouds at dawn provide the backdrop for the Space Shuttle Discovery as it moves along the Kennedy Space Center's Crawlerway toward Launch Pad 39A in preparation for the STS-82 mission. The shuttle is on a mobile launch platform, and the entire assemblage is being carried by a large tracked vehicle called the Crawler Transporter. A seven-member crew of astronauts performed the second servicing of the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope during the scheduled ten-day STS-82 flight in February 1997.

Long know for manufacturing the finest wheeled and non-wheeled bikes, Harley Davidson's most popular offering was this retro-custom chopper-style speeder bike. Based on the famous Sportster motorcycle, the Clipster uses the latest in proto-magnetronic propulsion while having the look and feel of a custom chopper. Powerful, lightweight, and highly maneuverable, these bikes quickly became popular among both law-abiding Federation citizens and outlaw biker gangs.

Another classic space-style speeder using a lot of clips, hence the name. Hope you all enjoy it!!
I have always loved those space baseplates.
I wouldn't mind if they would be re-released - and I am happy that I got some through BrickLink.
And the picture is some "to go boldly where no monkey has gone before" thing.
When we planned to go to Joshua Tree National Park, we had no idea the kind of night sky we would be in for. This is the most amazing i had ever seen the Milky Way. We drove far into the middle of nowhere to remove as much night pollution as possible. The Joshua Trees made for a great silhouette
Spaces (iliti Prostori) su serija fotografija koja je nastala u Egiptu Juna 2013 godine.
Spaces is a series of photographs that were created in Egypt in June 2013.
Une des dernières choses qu’on a réalisées avant de retourner sur la planète c’est un photoreportage de l’extérieur de l’ISS... et oui contrairement à un avion ou un bateau, elle ne rentre jamais au garage pour être révisée, il faut tout faire in situ dans l’espace. Ça aide énormément les ingénieurs au sol d’au moins voir l’état extérieur de la station, car il y a peu de caméras sur le dehors, et leurs vues sont limitées. On a donc réalisé un tour complet autour de l’ISS avec notre Dragon, et pendant toute la manœuvre j’ai essayé de capturer tous les détails du vaisseau mère qu’on venait juste de quitter. Seul bémol : les vitres du dragon ne sont pas faites pour la photo de précision, et il était impossible de zoomer sous peine d’avoir des résultats flous. La nuit ne nous a pas non plus aidés... au final, c’est quand même absolument incroyable d’observer l’ISS alors qu’on lui tourne autour, avec la terre et le cosmos en fond. On a fait le plein de souvenirs visuels pour nos dernières heures dans l’espace.
One of the last things we did before returning to Earth was a photo reportage of the exterior of the International Space Station. Unlike cars, boats or aircraft, the International Space Station never has periodic check-ups at a garage or hangar: all maintenance is done while flying in space. The pictures help the engineers on Earth to assess the state of the Station. There are some on-board video cameras but they don’t cover the whole exterior, so to get a complete view we did a complete fly-around of the Space Station in our Crew Dragon and during the tour I tried to capture as many details of the outpost as possible. The Dragon windows are not designed for precision photography and using the maximum zoom gave risk of blurry results (although some of the less useful pictures for the engineers have more emotional merit maybe 😊). As we flew through both night and day the lighting conditions were not always ideal either, but nevertheless it was absolutely incredible to view the Space Station from afar with Earth and the cosmos as backdrop. It was an excellent end to the Alpha mission and allowed us to fill our souvenir bank to the max during our last hours in space.

Today's challenge for ODC is one that my inital response was to ignore and not do - the topic?
'Our parents war'
i.e. something that depicted something they were passionate about,
or even wider possibilities..
The person who set this topic is supremely creative so I hope he'll forgive me for deciding that the freedom to think - whoever we are and whatever our history - is both simply and profoundly vital!
We are all part of this wider entity we call "Earth".
Access to sufficient open spaces to gain perspective matters!
