The fog in the forest is interestig phenomenon. The visuals are cool, nothing unexpected there, but the strange silence, that's what makes it really atmospheric. It's like everything stops, hides and waits for the ghosts of unreal to pass by.
Just love seeing these perfect little spherical droplets! Seen during a very damp Boxing day walk!

You didn't think I'd pass up an opportunity to shoot ol' GM once more, did you? Three of us made the trip up from Barstow to meet up with one of my favorite photographers and descend upon the place where my night photography adventures really started. We shot here for nearly seven hours. Every time I looked at my watch, another hour had ticked by despite feeling like just a few minutes. Guess that's what happens when you really get in the groove. This was the most productive and fun night I had had there in years. This was also the first time I had shot there with something other than clear skies and I really liked what I was getting. This is a three minute shot. The bus was lit with a Protomachine LED 2. We wrapped up around 2:00, dropped off someone at a local motel and then made the two hour drive back to our basecamp. www.capenightphotography.com
The car from the future! Loosely based on the Ford Atmos, and a bit of the Thunderbird from Back Roger.
Wall of text alert - Please read ;)
With the cold war ending in 1942, this parallel 1986 is the home of spectacular climate change, due to 4 decades of global peace, economical and technological frenzy.
In an attempt to reverse the process, CLEARSKIES CORPORATION developped the 'ATMOS' , short for Atmosphere Multiplication Airship. The science behind it is rather simple: using a tremendous amount of energy, a finite quantity of breathable atmosphere can be multiplied and released locally where it is most needed (Large industrial sites, overcrowded cities etc...). The Atmos combined the atmosphere multiplication process with more basic air filtering - albeit on a gigantic scale. Vents on the side of the ship would suck in the air, flow inside the multiplication section in the center and go back out down through the 4 gigantic air filters, in outrageous quantities.
The two first ATMOS barges , "Doomsday Disco" and "Doosmday Dodge" were considered by some to be iconic representations of shortsightedness and political unwillingness to adress reversing climate change in a more profound way. Countless other barges were built and some have seen their lifetime extended through modernization up until the later years of Terraforming in 2600+; unassembled and reassembled on distant worlds to help in atmosphere creation .

What a difficult build this was! Lack of time, poor structural choices, and then even more lack of time... It was also initially a flat ship , then my wife came in and said something like "Oh you could at least make it vertical you lazy bum"
Most of you already know I have gone from purist to clones, to 3D printing and so on. However I have taken it a step further this Shiptember by using scraps and bits of random plastic that I have set aside for that purpose in the past year. There are 2 reasons for this: First it is a fun challenge to try and integrate with Lego a piece that has no studs at all and whose purpose just has nothing to do with that. Secondly and more importantly I have taken on this new deviance as a way to reduce plastic waste both by integrating actual waste in my build (old kinder egg shells, part of a broken lamp, and the cap of the chromed spray paint can I actually used for this build etc..) and by reducing the amount of lego bricks I would have needed otherwise.
Ecology can be fun when combined with the right stuff.
I hope this makes sense to you guys... Haters are probably gonna hate, but I care more about doing something meaningful to my eyes, even though it is on a tiny tiny scale. I guess you can expect more of these kinda builds in the future.
Happy Shiptember everyone !!
