I have never watched speed boat racing before, it was interesting to see how fast these boats can go.

I got the Ferrari driver earlier, decided to pair him with a Ford driver now... at least he's not too lonely hanging around...
This image is too confusing but sometimes confusing is OK.
The basic figure is a ceramic angel from a garage sale. I decided that I would try and add a halo using some blue EL wire left over from my Burning Man days.
In the before image the halo is obvious but in the high speed image the EL wire whipping around in the explosion got kind of confusing. It actually survived which I think was purely chance.
Had a nice bike ride today on my new wheels. A few months ago I had a minor fall that put a bump on the rim my Mavic Ksyrium rear wheel. When I looked into repair I found out what a racket it was. You can't order a new rim, the only option is to send the things in to get repaired.
So I decided to build a new set of conventional wheels. Only to find out that the world is just not set-up for wheel building anymore. Parts were out, lead times long and I made mistakes in spoke lengths. But finally both wheel are done and I really like them.
Unlike the super stiff Kysrium wheels, I don't wince when I go over small bumps. It's great going back to the past. Stiff wheels may be efficient but they sure doesn't feel good.
Silky ride.
Cheers.

When two photographers join the efforts to produce effects produced by lights, I think we are creating a kind of art. No? By Edgar Barreira
On the Gran Via I tried to capture moving traffic with a slow shutter speed.
This is, of around 20 shots, the only one which came close to the disered effect. Scooters are difinately much easier than cars, not because of speed but because of reflections and colors.
So, this is no Photoshop trick!

Motor-sport isn’t my strong point but I wanted a decent image of a car but not any car. This is the Ferrari 430 GT driven by Rupert, Alex Martin. One car I want for my birthday. lol
There was alittle rain but then the sun came out strong. It tuned out to be a lovely day and enjoyed the Lager too. Thank you to everybody who came.
By the way, a huge thank you to Paul Grover for letting me borrow his Sigma 120-400mm lens, it was very impressive mate but wasn't used for this image though.

The speed restriction on the final approach to Dehradun station confirmed just 8 kmph. Occupying the long headshunt on the embankment was Indian Railways WDM-3A 16292R of Lucknow (LKO) propelling stock for Train 4042, the 21:20 Mussorie Express to New Delhi into one of the station's holding sidings.

Unbeknownst to the Human Race, Ultraman and Speed Racer have been close friends for millenia. They have heard of Earth's current plight and have returned from their intergallactic travels to save the planet!!
High Speed eventually became a maker of some seriously good and licensed 1/64 models after many years of making typical low end Chinese castings. Such as a shame they no longer exist and also a shame that to many collectors they will always be synonymous with producing a range of very brittle little vintage cars. Usually seen in Readers Digest packaging but many other mail order companies used them too, they have survived in huge numbers despite said frailties because invariably they were bought by adults. They are virtually worthless now but can be viewed as being a little bit charming although as a child and even now I thought that most of the castings all looked pretty alike!
This 1907 Peugeot looks very much like the Fiat, Rolls-Royce, Simplex and Vauxhall which were also offered! Part of a six vehicle Readers Digest set recently found in a charity shop and given to me because of my well known love of vintage cars......;-p
Mint and boxed.
It's been a while since I built any Star Wars, but the Rey's Speeder set tempted me back (mainly for that mask/goggle piece).
I'm fairly happy with the back half, though the engines on the side are a little fragile. The circular piece on the front would probably be better with some kind of turbine printing on it, but I'm away from home, so this had to be built using only parts from Rey's Speeder and Geonosis Clone battle pack.
"I like that one."
"That one? With the rust?"
"It'll clean up."
"And the mismatched engines, and the missing panels across most all of the thing?"
"Pretty sure the engines are a pair, just... yeah, it'll need some work. But you're looking at what it is, not what it could be."
"What I'm looking at is a deathtrap."
"Glass is always half empty with you, huh?"
"This glass is shattered and in pieces, lad. In fact, you'll note the lack of a cockpit canopy at all, glass or otherwise."
"Look, you've got to start somewhere. And why not here?"
"Hey, it's your decision in the end. Your credits. I just don't want it to be your firey death."
"You're all heart, old-timer. I think we can make it work."
"You think I can make it work. Still, I said I'd be your mechanic, so I guess I'd better prove I've still got the touch when it comes to racers."
"And I'll show you I can pilot them."
So this was a pretty quick build, it may well be that some kind of racing speeders will form the next display I do. I wanted to try a narrative of sorts with this, starting from a junkyard scrapper, and gradually improving and refining until we get something sleek and advanced.
In terms of the build itself I've tried to go as greebly as I can for exposed engine bits, and fresh off my ADU builds I've put those spoiler parts back to work as intakes. Nothing hugely complicated here, but I'm satisfied with the skeletal appearance and think that it came out alright. Plenty of room to iterate on this.
I was trying to keep it as small as possible, it's about 18ish studs wide and long, so hopefully I'll be able to fit builds of that/similar size into this year's SHIP, which I'm envisioning as something of a mobile home/workshop/garage such as one might find on a Star Wars-inspired racing circuit series.
(I think I just want to build something that looks like a LMH/LMdH prototype racer but in space. Honestly, the Ferrari 499P already looks like a spaceship that just happens to have wheels!)
I am still (very) slowly trying to get some color Schlieren high speed photography. As far as I am concerned, it is a lot harder to do that than it is to do the high speed crap that I do.
At this point, I am kind of thinking that it may never happen.
This is not Schlerien photography, just high speed photography of glass under crossed polarizers. It does have some tiny bit of the colorful beauty of Schlieren photography.
In this picture you can see the impact of a pellet shattering glass and creating shock waves in the target. Since the shock waves in glass are much (8X) faster, getting the exact moment is much more a matter of chance.
This is a nice chance.
Cheers.
