The most modern bike I've ever owned.
A stout 98 horsepower that you don't have to rev to the moon to get to.
Six pot brakes.
A definite keeper.
My take on the Imperial Speeder Bike from Rebels. Modified for a droid to ride on the back.
Approx. 90 pieces
Detroit Speed Final Project Update Moe’s 1970 Chevelle. November 21, 2015. www.detroitspeed.com/projects/mo70chevelle/mo70chevelle-p...
A shooting session plagued by misfires. It happens.
I did one of these Christmas bulbs filled with flour and it looked promising and then spent the next hour with misfires.
Who knows why, but I persisted and finally got what I wanted.
And now if I could just find my old Barbie doll. I've got a great idea for another shot.
Its windy today, my least favorite weather the Santa Anna winds. At least they are not too hot and all the recent rain has made the hills a little harder to ignite.
Cheers.
After a long photo break Ive finally managed to put my tripod into our car (Skoda Octavia) and try some long exposure shots during my trip around my town. I put the tripod between back and front seats and used my remote control to make the shots. This photo turns out well.
Taken with Canon EOS 400D and peleng 8mm fisheye (defished) in approximately 70km/h
Hope you like it and remeber, drive safely and use your seatbelts ;)

A bunch of clear plastic forks under crossed polarizers.
You have to see the before shot to see the change in stress patterns.
Another marginal shot.
I happened to look at this display this evening, it shows my average speed since I reset the mileage recorder. Eighteen miles per hour over the last 1,392 miles !
It is salutary to reflect that a good cyclist could achieve a similar average speed over that distance.
This is more of a modification as opposed to a MOC. I took the original Lego official set "75901 Flash Speeder" and modified the rear to remove the awful stud shooters and rework the cannon. The Lego original was a solid and well-designed set however. I wish I would have picked up a few more of them while they were plentiful.

Flash of the 'Speed Graphic' press camera, Toronto Flickr Group Meeting, Duke of York, Toronto Canada.
Testing out the new flash arrangement. No time for backgrounds tonight, its getting late.
I thought that using the slower pellet gun might help work with the chewing gum. Nope.
Speed
How fast will it go?
Can it get me
Over her quickly?
Zero to sixty?
Can it outrun her memory?
Yeah, what I really need
Is an open road
And a whole lot of speed...
The Firehouse Restaurant in Venice was a location used for the 1994 movie "Speed" (top). As the bus driver pulls away from the Firehouse, the bomber (Dennis Hopper) blows it up.
A friend picked up a really nice Miniature Speed Graphic for me at a yard sale for $10. The format is 2x3 but it has a Graflex 120 film back. It's in really great shape and I'm looking forward to shooting with it. I might convert it to a pinhole for my next project.
A picture of a package of cream cheese with a firecracker under it.
The main flash did not fire, giving this a more moody look. This happened twice, so I may have a trend going on.
Last night I rewired my "failed" flash circuit to an old style Maxwell cap and let it run.
2200 flashes over the course of the day and it was still running strong. My latest flash tube seems to be very rugged. I have cleaned it once and it is still going after over 6000 flashes.
They are such good caps. I checked recently and found new ones are 700$, so 100$ for the used versions is a great deal.
Cheers.
Had a family weekend in Bude for Dad's 65th & popped into Padstow on the way back to Bude from Mevagissey :o)
Couldn't resist this one shot from the muddy slipway.

I photographed this car in one of the car parks at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Hawthorn Memorial Trophies race meeting at Oulton Park in June 2008. It’s an Alvis Speed 20 SD Drop head coupe car with bodywork by Vanden Plas. The chassis left Alvis on 31st October 1935, was completed by Vanden Plas on 1st March 1936, and was sold in April 1936. It is one of 5 produced as a Model SD with drop head coupe body design by Vanden Plas. Its chassis number is 13013, one of probably only three that remain, and is the only car of its type registered in the membership list of the Alvis Owner Club. Mechanically the Speed 20 SD was one of the most advanced cars manufactured in the pre war years, having independent front suspension and a gearbox with synchromesh on all gears. The 2,762cc straight-6 engine was extremely powerful giving the car a top speed of over 90 miles per hour and it is fitted with a high ratio differential which enables it to cruise comfortably in modern traffic.

Repurposed British Rail Class 43 High Speed Train (HST) Diesel Power Car 43277 'Safety Task Force' heads a Colas Rail operated Derby RTC- Doncaster West Yard Network Rail test train at speed through Attenborough Station in the County of Nottinghamshire (UK).
43277 was built at British Rail Crewe Works and entered service in 1978.
Introduced into service from 1976 as Class 253 on the Western Region and 1978 for the Class 254 on the Eastern Region, the HST's were initially marketed as the InterCity 125.
The High Speed Train power cars are/were the fastest diesel locomotives in regular service in the world and in my opinion are British Rail's finest achievement.
The high speed train powers cars feature numerous times in my photostream www.flickr.com/photos/stuart166axe/tags/class43/
