Last year I was invited to take photos of a rocket launch at a private launch facility in the Mojave desert in Southern California by Evolution Space, a space startup. The team moved the 21 feet tall rocket from the workshop to the launch tower early in the morning before sunrise. The flight turned out to be their first space flight, reaching 125 km, and had a top speed to Mach 5.2. Congrats team!

I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from a JPG exposure, blended them, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Oh, Those Flying Machines

Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum

Chantilly, VA

With the capacity of the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. completely full, this supplemental facility was constructed near Dulles International Airport outside the city in Virginia.

A hanger full of history.

The silver plane on the right is a Boeing 307 and this one was know as a Clipper Flying Cloud. It was the first airliner design with a pressurized fuselage. It could accommodate 33 passengers and cruise at 215 mph at an altitude of 20,000 feet and had a range of 1,750 miles. It went into commercial service during 1940.

If you look at the tail of the plane on the left, you will see Boeing 707 on it. This plane design was the first widely available jet airliner. It could accommodate about 140 passengers and cruise at 607 m[h with a range of 3,600 miles. Modified versions had a range of 5,000 miles. The 707 was introduced in October of 1958.

Behind the planes is a Concorde. It was the first ,and really the only, commercially successful supersonic airliner. It accommodated up to 120 passengers with a cruise speed of 1,340 mph and had a ceiling of 60,000 feet. Its range was 4,488 miles. It went into commercial service in 1976.

Evolution of recording media from 45 rpm, to cassette, to CD.

New stuff doesn't usually have the character I adore. The rust, the chipped paint, the history.

HMM!

The sun shines as Northern Rail 144012 arrives at Doncaster with 2P7314:19 Scunthorpe to Lincoln Central. This unit is the first of the "Evolution" refurbishment carried out by Porterbrook at Derby.

Refurbishing the unit has seen the unit gaining LED destination boards and increased legroom. Also completed was the removal of overhead luggage racks and the toilet.

35mm colour film negatives, memory stick and a digital bridge camera. (Not to mention the DSLR I took the shots on) The transition from film negatives and transparencies to digital, be it for files or photography, has been profound. When I first dealt with digital files a 1meg file was considered huge. The Syquest cartridges that supported our back-up was 44 or 88 meg that became hugely expensive at £50/100 a cartridge and equally inadequate. How times have changed with tiny memory sticks capable of holding an inordinate amount of data through to everyday usage we now take for granted … this list goes on!

It seems that evolution does not always stick to the correct order ...

I set a couple of my flashes out and put them in order of power. This was more my strobist evolution (although I did get the 120j after the b1600). I did in fact start with an sb-400 using a chord off camera! Ah the memories....

Three of us, two retired men (one who who wasn't sure if he could hike 50 plus miles; that would be me) and a young fit man who could have easily hiked twice as far in the 6 days we were on the trail started hiking at South Lake on the Bishop Pass Trail September 8 and 6 days latter ended our hike at North Lake. According to a more accurate account than I can generate we hiked 55 miles, gained 8,730 feet and lost 9,200 feet elevation. This area, part in Kings Canyon National Park and part in the John Muir Wilderness is about 20 miles southwest from Bishop, California.

BTW This is a Glass Paperweight

Un’edera non possiede occhi, non ha proprio niente, però si arrampica sui muri come se li vedesse; oppure si scosta lentamente se trova fonti di calore che la infastidiscono. L’edera o aggira oppure sale sopra agli ostacoli, esattamente come un uomo.
