A few more pics of the Hover-Speeder from yesterday.
And loving those new wheel hubs. They're just perfect for spaceship engines :D
The nicely preserved Milwaukee Road depot at Winneconne, Wisconsin sits tranquilly on a snowy evening along with various artifacts including a speeder.
The depot served its namesake town at the end of a branch from Ripon from 1860 (as a previous incarnation; the current structure was built sometime later) until 1973 when the branch was abandoned. Passenger service was never very intensive, given the minor importance of the branch, and the last was in the form of a mixed train in 1951.
Aside from magnets, the most iconic elements of M-Tron are the industrial prints, which inspired the greebles on the sides. I thought this fig would want a speeder with beefy, pickup truck energy.
Good night of wool burning and light painting with My mate Jonathan last night. Set up at this bridge and waited about 15 mins for a train to pass, caught by surprise by the first one but luckily 5 mins later a 125 came past and we managed to catch this.
Please have a look at Jonathans stream:

Not sure, but I believe this is a speed selector...the handle slides side to side to engage either the larger, or smaller sprocket. Here it's engaged to the large one. Seen at the National Museum of Industrial History.

Possibly the biggest, baddest, most bulbous speeder bike to emerge from the drawing boards of Llwyngwril Systems. The Turbinia was based around a massive turbine.
Centuries later, all the evidence left for its existence are these four archive photos. They leave many questions unanswered:
Was the giant turbine some form of centrifugal compressor? If so, were did the all of air go? The nozzles on the rear of the bike are quite small.
As the turbine made up a considerable part of the mass of the speeder bike and was effectively a large gyroscope, how the Turbinia generate enough turning force to manoeuvre?
How did the pilot get up to the cockpit?
The mechanics of the anti-gravity systems needed for the Turbinia to hover are, of course, simple and well known.
Made to endure the trials of the most hostile terrain, the Horizon-class speeder is equipped with coupled twin-proton engines. Built for speed over comfort, it remained one of the most utilized speeders in the exploration of the new world. Not only because of its ability to quickly carry equipment over large areas, but also because of its ability to withstand the trials of the frequent sandstorms.

is the car ready?
all warmed up and waiting for you boss.
did you get me a fast one this time?
like a bat outa hell.
that last getaway car was an antique. a joke.
oh. an antique?
that thing was ancient! it got me put away for 5 years.
I sure don't want that to happen again, boss.
that makes two of us.
say boss, can we. . . can we, like, use your car?
mine? for the bank job? but you got us a car.
it's the wrong. . . color, boss. you'd. . . you'd hate it.
you sure?
yeah. no doubt about it.
I've always wanted to visit Milan Central Station so this trip I finally got to stand under it's amazing roof and get shots like this! An ETR 1000 Frecciarossa sits under the main roof for a high speed service to Rome.
Shopping break
When I’m at the office, I try to take walk breaks. Now that I’m downtown, they can be shopping breaks, too! I finally restocked on my favorite Anthropologie perfume, La Vanille.
Don’t be fooled by the heeled sandals. I was passing folks right and left on the downtown sidewalks. I was on a speed walk from the light rail station to the office. (I was a bit slower on the way home.)
Kimono jacket, thrifted. Dress, Max Studio (thrifted). Sandals, Bandolino (thrifted). Necklace, Zad. Bag, Rachel Comey for Target (with a Pom Pom London strap).
Today the Speed Trials returned to Madeira Drive with over 200 cars and motor bikes entering, everyone competing to be the fastest in their class. Most of Madeira Drive was closed off to the public with ticketed entry only. Photographers could pay to be on the start and finish line but it's not really my genre. So just the one photo of two of the racing cars parked up ready for their turn. They look like dinky cars because I took the photos from high above the road.
طبعا أحد الصور اللي صورتها أثناء دورة ابداعات ضوئية مع الاستاذ القدير السيد عدنان شبر .. واكيد في ناس يتسائلون ليش ليلحين أحط هالصور .. طبعا البعض فاهم ليش .. واللبيب بالصورة يفهم :P
ومن خلال هالعمل أحب أوجه شكري حق كل من عطاني الثقه استاذي فيصل البشر وأخوي خالد بورحمه على المجهود الرائع اللي قام فيه بالمهرجان الخاص بمجموعة زوايا و"السموووووووحه" على القصوور

I've been thinking about what to do with jet engines I got in a Chima set, and also thinking about building one more speeder to improve my building skills.
Today I came up with an idea of making a pod racer as in Star Wars: EP 1. However, the minifigure pilot I have is actually a resistance pilot, precisely appearing much later in the SW galaxy.
So I tried the speeder to be more like a EP 4 thing, rather than a streamlined naboo star fighter.
Probably the resistance appropriated the Pod Racer to their fighter speeder. :D
Canon 7 with 50mm 0.95 Lens & Konica SR-G 3200 ISO speed film!
Konica SR-G 3200 (1989)
The fastest film I have ever purchased. I used it for astrophotography with my Minolta SR-7 mounted to a telescope. Also for some night time available light around Paris France. This is my final roll, unexposed, and way out of date!
Canon 7 (1961)
Fast optics were much more important in the 60's than they are today. ASA (ISO in today's speak) speed of 100 was considered "fast" and films beyond ASA 200 were expensive, very grainy, and not easy to come by. ASA 25 and 50 were the normal films so you can see why a fast lens made such a difference back then!
The Canon7 and Dream lens is still a very popular combination even all these years later.
I won't pretend that it gives me consistent spectacular results (like my 70-200 f4 on my 5Dmk2) but it sure is at the top of my list of fun cameras!
It is very joyous to take it out and consider the possibilities the lens makes available, and to take the time to attempt to make the possibilities a reality!
It is great to see these lenses making their way into the digital world as well. Many have been adapted to the micro 4/3 system and the Leica M digitalis. This seems an ideal platform for the 0.95 since it is a challenge to get consistent results with the time limitations of film. A digital 0.95 would be an ideal learning platform, the instantaneous feedback digital provides would allow you to much better master this lens.
