Totally regret trying out the compact video mode on my camera!

As dorky as the concept of the flamin' RV is, I have to admit to loving it. It's huge and clunky and packed with awesome.
The International space Station en route through Ursa Major, close by Eta UMa on 22nd April 2011. Taken at prime focus of Celestron 8" SCT it was difficult to set up as the field of view of the telescope (about one third of a degree) is less than the error on the "Heavens Above" charts. Didn't quite get the focus right but the exposure was about right at 1/400 of a second.
I had been toying with the idea that the trike body could be used to make a decent AT-RT but never got off my butt to try it. Then I saw Rocko's awesome Sninja, I was inspired. Space Police is probably more interesting than an AT-RT anyway.
Solid and handsome, as well as compact and simple to space, this square grot style is common on Berlin gravestones at the end of the 1800s.
I made my way back home recently, and visited my family for my brother's graduation. We got to visit Kennedy Space Center again. Which i haven't been to in maybe 10 years.

[WIP] Dark Space 2 Reshade Preset
Dead Space 2
Reshade 0.18.7
-------
FXAA
21:09 Aspect Ratio 1920x920 rendering (x2 supersampling)
SSGI @ 5 samples & .7 sharpness
GP65CJ042 DOF @ 2Q w/ Autofocus
Chromatic Aberration (Mc FX with low fisheye warping)
Lensdirt (custom texture based on Amoebae's lens textures for Skyrim ENB)
Tweaked Chapmann Lens
Bloom
Tonemap, Levels, Curves, Filmicpass
Filmgrain + Dithering
-----------
Still a work in progress, but the idea is there. I based the preset on the Dead Space 1 preset, and doing some slight tweaks as I go, adjusting stuff to better suit the lighting in Dead Space 2. Overall looking good I think.
A recent Hubble Space Telescope view reveals Uranus surrounded by its
four major rings and by 10 of its 17 known satellites. This false-color
image was generated by Erich Karkoschka using data taken on August 8,
1998, with Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer.
Hubble recently found about 20 clouds - nearly as many clouds on Uranus
as the previous total in the history of modern observations. The
orange-colored clouds near the prominent bright band circle the planet
at more than 300 mph (500 km/h), according to team member Heidi Hammel
(MIT). One of the clouds on the right-hand side is brighter than any
other cloud ever seen on Uranus.
The colors in the image indicate altitude. Team member Mark Marley (New
Mexico State University) reports that green and blue regions show where
the atmosphere is clear and sunlight can penetrate deep into Uranus.
In yellow and grey regions the sunlight reflects from a higher haze or
cloud layer. Orange and red colors indicate very high clouds, such as
cirrus clouds on Earth.
The Hubble image is one of the first images revealing the precession of
the brightest ring with respect to a previous image [LINK to PRC97-36a].
Precession makes the fainter part of the ring (currently on the upper
right-hand side) slide around Uranus once every nine months. The
fading is caused by ring particles crowding and hiding each other on
one side of their eight-hour orbit around Uranus.
The blue, green and red components of this false-color image correspond
to exposures taken at near-infrared wavelengths of 0.9, 1.1, and 1.7
micrometers. Thus, regions on Uranus appearing blue, for example,
reflect more sunlight at 0.9 micrometer than at the longer wavelengths.
Apparent colors on Uranus are caused by absorption of methane gas in
its atmosphere, an effect comparable to absorption in our atmosphere
which can make distant clouds appear red.

Strobist info:
(2) 1/4 bare bulb flashes about 6' up about 6' from subject on each side , triggered w/ pocket wizards. A 4' reflector was placed between the two flashes for a little bounce/fill.
Photoshop info:
Blurs were photographed near same location using various degrees of focus and hand held long exposures. Later the multiple images/layers were added in Photoshop using the screen blending mode with masks to have some behind of blurs hidden behind the model and some in front.
Misc Info:
Also he is doing a back flip off a wall in an alley, the camera was below him and he was upside down during the photo, which was later rotated.
Commercial and heavy goods vehicles can often be seen in Japan embellished with polished chrome, blacked out side windows, and crazy lighting. I’ve seen Shinto gods and lighting bolts fastened to the gleaming metal panels of some of them. The idea seems to be to make these ten ton hell raisers as garish and scary as possible, but ultimately it just makes them look silly. However, this vehicle struck me as a one off. It’s a Wa-fi van, taking the concept of Japanese spirit into outer space. I believe the official name for this phenomenon is Dekko Toraku or Deco Truck in English. The fact that there is a name for it implies that there may be a deeper (though probably not much deeper) meaning to this nerdy hobby than just showing off. Notice the warp drive jet engines on the roof, and Tenyo mythical goddess skillfully airbrushed to the side. Truck drivers of the universe unite!

A sipmle sketch I made from memory. Sorry for the lack of my usual gradual shading, it was done on the back of an e-mail printout. 2B Pencil, no smudging.
The space mines in Collision Course were built in two scales. Two larger mines was made from plastic picnic plates . Even in space, the mine has three hooked feet, and six peripheral spikes, like naval contact mines.

I'm finding that photography is helping me deal with my dad's death. And something my neighbor said also helped "You can't lose something when you know where it is". My dad might not be here for christmas but he's in my heart.
Crewmembers of NASA's 41-D mission take a group shot displaying their fun moments in space aboard the orbiter Discovery. Crewmembers are (counter-clockwise from center) crew commander Henry W. Harsfield Jr., pilot Michael L. Coats, mission specialist Steven A. Hawley, mission specialist Judith A. Resnik, payload specialist Charles D. Walker, and mission specialist Richard M. Mullane. Dr. Judith Resnik is shown enjoying the weightlessness of space during her first mission. Born on April 5, 1949 in Akron, Ohio, she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1970, and a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from University of Maryland in 1977. Dr. Resnik joined NASA in 1978 as a senior systems engineer in product development with Xerox Corporation at El Segundo, California. NASA later selected her as an astronaut candidate in January 1978; she completed a 1-year training and evaluation period in August 1979. Dr. Resnik died on January 28, 1986 on her second mission, during the failed launch of Challenger STS-51 L.

Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.
