Luckily I was following this Texan on FlightRadar24 earlier in the day, noting it had landed at RAF Benson. I then tracked her from Benson as it returned to Valley and was amazed to be buzzed !
Lol, hovering co-operatively and quite territorial, driving off bees in its airspace and attempting to buzz me off too. HBBBT.
Now i'm finishing the "catching up" process :)
This was taken with the 50mm f1.8 OM lens holding it backwards in front of the camera...

Fleet Buzz 33016 (R816 HCD) approaches its last stop at Kingsmead on route 30 from Basingstoke, the blinds already changed for the through (50km busting) continuation of its journey to Frimley Park Hospital on the 31.
Kingsmead, Farnborough, Hampshire.
Another long ago garage sale that netted two Buzz Lightyears with blinky LED tendrils. It took some time to dis-enbowel him and make room for the firecracker.
I've played with destroying Buzz a few times and this is the best I have had one work out.
Cheers.
Day 149 of 365
Normally we get a few days of the tear where this whole bush buzzes!! Today however, I had to really look for this little one!

Project 52 - 2014 Ellenburg Photography's Photo Challenge ~ #4 / 52 ~ A Favourite Toy
I've been discussing this topic with my son for a few days and he is adamant that his favourite toy is a large plastic green dinosaur transformer. Not photogenic in any way, shape or form in my opinion.
What's your second favourite toy then? ...
... the small dinosaur transformer. Grrr!!! Getting worse - it's not even colourful!
So we eventually agreed that as I didn't want to photograph a plastic toy we would use a small Viking figure that I bought him coming home from a work trip to Denmark. It's quite a cool little Viking, has definite character and I had plans so the concept started to form ;) ...
... then I spotted Buzz and Woody. Now you're talking!!! OK we're back to plastic again but if you want to talk favourite toy then what better than the classic favourite and the pretender to the throne!
So I composed the shot, it was nicely lit (IMO), had a bit of light painting which I've never tried before and it told a story with poor old Woody cast aside. And I almost submitted the result because I was pleased with it - it ticked a lot of boxes. But as Mrs H&C went to bed I decided I wasn't tired and I'd have another go ... because actually I could do better.
And for a start f/16 is pretty alien territory to me ;).
So the idea grew: the glass came out for the reflective surface; the aperture widened; the separation between Buzz, Woody and the background increased; the background was replaced with crumpled tin foil; the main light had a cloth draped over it as a flag to stop light spilling onto the background; the light painting was warmed up with a red gel and the finishing touch - a heart - what says "favourite" more than a heart ;) ?
I don't think I'm done with "A Favourite Toy" yet either. I still owe H&C Jnr a Viking and we also have plans to shoot a time-lapse with his lego at the weekend.
The Techy Bit ...
First off - this is straight out of camera other than setting white balance. Nothing else was adjusted. Well OK, the "Project 52 ..." text is photoshopped ;).
Buzz was the focal point at f/1.8 with the background (crumpled tin foil) about 1 metre behind.
The main light was a PhotoSEL HE400 studio flash, camera left at 1.1 (roughly 15% power) about 1.5m in front of Buzz and 1m above - sporting a large 90cm softbox and with a cloth draped over it to protect the background. The background was lit with an SB-910 with two blue gels, set to manual at 1/16 and zoomed out to 17mm - this light was positioned roughly underneath Woody.
The shot was then taken using an 85mm @ f/1.8. The shutter speed was 10s which was enough for me to trigger the camera then paint the light trails for which I used the flashlight on my phone with a red gel attached via wire tie.
My final techie comment ... my new D800 ... WOW ... it's ability to focus in next to no light is absolutely incredible!!! It can focus in light where I cannot see the buttons on my camera.

Buzz
One of the original cut-ups Buzz always maintains his edge (ouch)! Assembled from parts off of both column A and column B - vintage test box, screen door handle, old truck emblem, movie reels valve knobs, glass fuses, aluminum junction box, and, oh yes, saw blade. With Buzz there are no dull moments.
Believe it or not, this is yet another pass of the ponds for exercise but I am still looking for anything that can be found. My camera carrying arm is going to end up longer than the other because I hate the neck strap. It is nearly December and I am hoping for fat snow flakes to fall, but then Greenland could use some snow before it melts entirely. It is not strange that it consists of sky reflections on rippling water. The rabbit wire wrapped around several younger trees about the shores leads me to believe that beavers are at work here. I have not seen a beaver house but the area is abutting wetlands.
On this day of nice skies and water, I came back to this spot I've used before with the intention of expanding my catalog. My previous take was one of my favorites. I am still fighting to slow this autumn's slipping away and I made another loop of the path but there was little breeze and there were only a few ripples on the water that ushered in the fine sky and foliage colors. I got a couple of shots of the foliage in the distance but it is deteriorating. I guess this reflection scene just grabbed me emotionally for some reason. Watch out for this if you are fishing in a belly boat and decide to come in to shore here! Later, I decided to recapture earlier shots. There was slight but productive rippled water scenes and skies with some mixed clouds, water but the foliage is gone.
I am out here at Golden Ponds, the Longmont, Boulder County, Colorado greenbelt and rec area and fortunately, the turn-off is only a half-dozen blocks down Hover St. I wanted to look for possible locations even though the sky has been the pits lately. I wandered the green space and took some detail shots that were available, Drying cattails surrounded the ponds and most cattails are seeding the next year's supply. I shot a few pictures and kept the sky and bare trees out of the frame but the presence shows in the water. I am again fascinated by the subtle tonalities. The colorful autumn foliage is falling around the ponds and under the water. I love shooting stark scenes with this camera and lens. I have not used any of my old Nikkors even though I programmed them into the computer.
