Steampunk speeder based on the Praxis Mk. I turbo speeder

A police speeder that I just put together while playing around with techniques. I started off with the front end and I started losing interest at the rear tail. I'm also not a fan of that canopy ...it just ended up there

Le Mans Test Day 2017

At the speed of puppy.

This won me 1st place overall at the Congressional Art Competition 2010.

Its not really a big deal.

 

Patience, practice and a talent for balance and concentration pays off with a nice ride at Pacific Beach in San Diego, CA. This happy dude sailed through the breaks and right into my zoom lens. A bit like surfing you get one good shot for every fifty or so trys with the camera. You can see why surfing can become addictive in a good way for many guys and girls on the beaches of southern California.

Le Mans 24 Hours 2014 - The Pit Walk

Roxas Boulevard, Manila is well known for its stunning sunset and amazingly colorful at night.

Some may say the sign is distracting but I just like it!

Porsche Center, Stuttgart, Germany

 

This long exposure shot was taken in front of the Porsche headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. It was a wonderful evening just after a storm passed by and revealed wonderful purple clouds in the sky.

Of course they are not purple in this picture but if you care to see how they looked like you might want to have a look at my photostream to see a few other shots from this series.

 

As far as the setup is concerned:

I used a 7d, tripod, 4seconds, f7.1 at 17mm and ISO 100.

And yes, some post processing...can you tell!? :)

 

Leave a note, fave it, make me happy!

In late 2007 I was planning a diorama and accompanying story called "Sam Slick's Used Speeders", featuring a shady used-hovercar lot full of fun characters like the inept salesman who couldn't sell water in the desert, the smooth talking one who could sell ice to eskimos, the sleazy service department technicians who thought hovercar repair was the greatest moneymaking scam since televangelism, the various customers, and of course Sam Slick himself, a Cal Worthington type (you need to be an American West Coaster of a certain age to remember old Cal).

 

Then all these speeders I'd built got put in a drawer with some other WIPs when I moved in early 2008, and in that drawer they stayed, out of sight and mostly out of mind. Until very recently, rediscovered in the middle of the long slow process of getting my Lego collection into some semblance of order, so I can actually build stuff again.

 

The great irony of course is that being over a decade old, they'd work even better as "used speeders" now than they would have then, but that used hovercar lot is just never going to be built.

My first shot for a new group “set yourself a challenge”. This weeks challenge is “square crop”. Whenever I thought square a speed square kept running thru my head. Normally all my shots are 24 x 36 aspect ratio, most of the time I don’t deviate from that. Even when shooting this I started by framing it to fill the viewfinder and had to use the grid to reframe it. The challenge forced me to shoot in a way I normally wouldn’t but also gave me direction for shooting. Kinda cool :)

 

This is also the first time I’ve used my camera in over a week other than for my flagpole project which thru dumb luck turned out successfully in my opinion. I’ve been extremely under the weather lately and am finally starting to feel a little better.

Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light - 1 billion kilometer per hour - not even quasars. To know more about quasars see the animation below ...

Fallen Colors

 

It's fall y'all! Or as my wife likes to call it, "boots weather". I love how the color in this tree stand out from the others in Kiwanis Park in Kirkland!

A speed boat powers by on Lake Michigan.

I put a bit of posterize effect into the image and ended up with this...
