"No limits, Jonathan? he thought, and he smiled. His race to learn had begun."

Yes that is the horizon below the ThunderCat boat. Kingfisher Team I seem to remember. Crew Number 41. They hit a big wave at speed and it launched them very high.
It is pretty dangerous - the propellers are not shielded as reduces their effectiveness but if the crews land on another boat with that outboard engine on full song...........
Plus they can travel at speeds of 70 mph too but on calmer waters.
I was standing in the shallows in wellington boots following the action as the tide went out, occasionally a bigger wave would break and nearly go over the top of the wellingtons. They did actually fill up with sea water on a practice day when a wave caught me out.
Took ages trying to dry them out. Should have had a pair of waders instead but salt water and Nikon cameras don't mix so I had to be careful. All was well in the end and an excellent collection of shots resulted.
The image info:- ISO set at 250, aperture was f/6.3, focal length 500mm (300mm lens with 1.7x teleconverter) shutter speed 1/6400th to freeze all the water droplets. Processed in Lightroom Classic 2024.

I passed through Chicago O'Hare's amazing underground passageway on my way to S.F. I just love taking photos there. This time I tried using long exposures (this one was 10 sec) in order to eliminate the numerous travelers who are constantly passing through it and used a fish eye lens for the first time. The speckled pattern at the bottom of the photo is from the floor of the terminal.
The passageway is between Terminals B & C and the whole passage is a work of art called "The Sky's the Limit"
Testing the limits of my inverted kit lens on the smallest animal I could find in my backyard (a small aphid whose species I wasn't able to id). It was less than 1 mm wide, legs included. live.staticflickr.com/65535/51225331332_8fd725a1f4_k.jpg

Speed Limit should be 30 or is it 3? Taken over by vines… kudzu? Poison ivy? Something else? Don’t know, just thought it was neat looking at the time and something that never was scanned or shared 2-3 years ago.
Cinematic toy photography, captured with a 2x anamorphic lens combined with a 100mm macro prime, for a dual focus setup.
