The Boeing Collection - Jumbo Freighters :)
From a collection of some 500 Boeing slides that I've had scanned from my archives. Hope they will provide some enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age.
N804FT Flying Tigers Boeing 747-132 (SCD) gets airborne from runway 10R at London Heathrow - flight number was FT010. This was the view from the top deck of Car Park 2 :).
Note the Side Cargo Door (SCD) which can clearly be seen in this shot. Some of the Flying Tigers 747s also had a nose-up loading facility, which was much faster than the traditional Side Cargo Door.
N804FT c/n 20246 Boeing 747-132 (SCD) was delivered new to Delta Airlines as N9899 in Sep 1971, but Delta switched to TriStars in the mid 1970s and in 1977 the aircraft was converted to a freighter by Flying Tigers becoming N804FT. The aircraft was leased by El Al (Israel) in 1978, but returned to Flying Tigers until the airline was assimilated into Federal Express in 1989, and the aircraft was re-registered as N624FE. Just two years later the aircraft was sold again, to Polaris and leased to Air Hong Kong as VR-HKM. In 1994, it returned to the USA as N624PL with Polaris, and was then leased to Polar Air Cargo as N857FT. In 2001, after return to Polaris, the aircraft was retired and broken up at Leflore County airport, Greenwood, Mississippi.
Taken with a Soviet made Zenith TTL camera and 300mm lens. From an original slide, scanned with minimal digital restoration.

This is the first version of this image. A new version at www.flickr.com/photos/frame_maker/14175453777/ contains reflections of the boat, pilings, and sky. I just learned how to create reflections in Photoshop. I'd appreciate any comments on which version you prefer, as well as suggestions for improving the reflections.
Where I find beauty, others often see something that does not belong in our otherwise clean and orderly world, and must be erased. This abandoned tug boat, the Polaris, is officially considered a "public nuisance." It ran aground near Lone Tree Point in Rodeo, California on the night of April 14, 2013. Because the location was in the East Bay Regional Park District, the District issued a notice to remove the boat, but the owner did not comply. After weeks of negotiation the vessel was moved off the rocks to a nearby marina, D&R Marine. The vessel is now considered a "public nuisance" and the California State Lands Commission has been authorized to remove it.

F/V Polaris at Fishermen's Terminal, one of the hundred-years-old boats built in Seattle from old-growth fir I keep coming back to. Drawn with a rough carpenter's pencil I picked up on the bike path and painted with watercolour on the spot, which the rain mainly washed away, so had to add again at home.
Nocturnes Mare Island Alumni event, March 2012. You can see Polaris (the North Star) toward the upper left at the center of the star trails.
Polaris & ses nébuleuses sombres

Aujourd’hui, je vous fais découvrir les nébuleuses sombres qui accompagnent l’étoile polaire.
Cette étoile sert depuis des millénaires comme point de repère entre autre pour la navigation. Elle nous sert aussi à nous aligner pour nos montures équatoriales puisque toutes les constellations tournent autour de Polaris.
Que viennent faire les nébuleuses sombres dans cette histoire ?
Elles sont présentes autour de notre étoile polaire. En anglais, elles sont appelées IFN pour « Integrated Flux Nebula ». Elles sont principalement composée d’hydrogène moléculaire et d’hélium.
Cependant, ce n’est pas aisé de pouvoir les photographier. D’une part, comme leur nom l’indique, elles sont obscures.
Ce sont des nuages denses qui absorbent la lumière des étoiles en arrière plan.
D’autre part, au moment de la prise de vue, elles sont invisibles. Très pratique me direz vous… Même constat au moment de l’empilement, il n’y a que le traitement qui permettent de les mettre en valeur.
A titre d’exemple la tête de cheval (IC434) dans la constellation d’Orion fait partie des nébuleuses sombres les plus connues.

This is the is a composite made up of the same six, 10-minute exposures. I adjusted the white balance and also left in the boat traveling across the horizon,
I'm honest not sure which white balance I like better, I like both for their own respective reasons. Let me know what you all think.
The boat actually really surprised me that night: all of a sudden there was this insanely bright light in front of me which slowly moved across the rocks. It almost looked like someone was walking on the rocks holding a flare or something. It was almost blinding to look at, however it wasn't casting a significant/ noticeable amount of light on me. I finally assumed it was a boat once it started moving faster and moved out past the rocks.

Created using 68.5 minutes worth of exposure with a tripod mounted D7100 looking North. Taken from Wednesbury, West Midlands, UK.
I took this picture in the middle of Puszcza Notecka in Poland, the closest proper dark sky area near my home. The dark-brownish could to the right is nothing else but the end of the Milky Way's arm that was cought in the frame. I really like this smeared effect it made. Whole exposure lasted for 15 minutes.
Picture taken with Samyang 12mm F2.2. I am pretty satisfied with the results I got from this unexpensive piece of gear.

Composite of six, 10-minute exposures.
I went out to Asilomar after I got off work at midnight. This was the same location where I took my first photograph of the Milky Way (although this image was taken further down the trail, and looking a different direction).
It took me a little while to get set up, finding the composition I wanted, and then I was there for an hour to get this shot. By the time I was walking back to my car, I was frozen despite my multiple layers.
I have a few alternate versions which I will upload later.

FUTURON - POLARIS EXPRESS
"Polaris", in reference to the mythical Set 6972 Polaris-I Space Lab, and "Express", in reference to the Orient Express of Siberia, in relation to a tracked vehicle of the tundra
The inspiration comes mainly from the Russian vehicle Vityaz DT-30 tracked, and its little brother the Vityaz DT-10PM, particularly adapted to the tundra and the cold.
Multi-function vehicle. It can be converted into a Cargo, Passenger, Small Vehicles, Oxygen, etc.
There are 6 modular blocks of 5x7 studs, which can be unclipped, can be put in the hold, and can be put in the order you want. Include a mix. The roof can be unclipped.
The 2 types of Vityaz DT have lots of military or civilian variations. Surely one of the vehicles with the most variation in the world, as crazy as that is. Excavator version, passenger / troop transport version, ballistic missile version, freight transport version, radar station version in arctic base, amphibious version, crossing bridge version, logging transport version, tank version (yes yes, with 2 turrets !), snow plow version, mobile laboratory version, gas / mining version (currently used by Gazprom), etc ... We are on a monster which is not far from making 3 to 4 large cars wide depending on the version. I wanted to stay a little in this “multifunction” spirit for the MOC.

FUTURON - POLARIS EXPRESS
"Polaris", en référence au mythique Set 6972 Polaris-I Space Lab, et "Express", en référence à l'Orient Express de Sibérie, par rapport à un véhicule chenillé de la toundra
L'inspiration vient principalement du Véhicule Russe Vityaz DT-30 chenillé, et son petit frère le Vityaz DT-10PM, particulièrement adaptés à la toundra et au froid.
Vehicule Multi-fonction. Il peut se convertir en véhicule de Fret, de passagers, de petits véhicules, etc.
Il y a de 6 blocs modulaires de 5x7 tenons, déclipsable, pouvant être mis en soute, et pouvant être mis dans l'ordre que l'on souhaite. Inclus un mix. Le toit est déclipsable. J'ai soigné les traces de chenilles et le radar.
Les 2 types de Vityaz DT ont des tas de déclinaison militaire ou civile. Surement l'un des véhicules qui a le plus de déclinaison au monde, aussi fou que cela soit. Version pelleteuse, version voyageurs/transport de troupes, version missiles balistiques, version transport de fret, version station radar en base arctique, version amphibie, version pont de franchissement, version transport de coupe de bois, version char (si si, avec 2 tourelles !), version déneigeuse, version laboratoire mobile, version gazière/minière (actuellement utilisé par Gazprom), etc... On est sur un monstre qui n’est pas loin de faire 3 à 4 grosses voitures de large suivant les versions. Je voulais rester un peu dans cet esprit « multifonction » pour le MOC.
Polaris and Nygma made their way across the highway to Fawcett City. It took a while, about 10 hours, and Nygma was slowly wearing Polaris down with trivia questions he had no answer for. After a while, the two sat in silence before finally arriving in the city. They took back alley ways and began to make their way to Woolfolk Prison, still, in silence.
Nygma then broke the silence with the beginning of a story of when he held trivia night at a bar in Gotham, but Polaris cut him short by forcing the car to stop suddenly.
(45 Minutes Later...)
“Alright, Polaris...this is Woolfolk Prison. It’s a pretty high security one at that, especially for a backwoods place like Fawcett.” Nygma and Polaris were crouched behind tall grass and bushes just on the edge of the prison’s campus.
“Yes, I see. So, how do you suggest we get in?”
“Simple. We cause a distraction!”
“Wouldn’t said distraction possibly summon Captain Marvel?”
Nygma thought about that for a moment. He looked up at the sky. It was sunset. From what he had learned, Captain Marvel was only active during the day. He shook his head at Polaris and grinned, “No, we should be fine!”
Polaris paused for a moment before nodding, holding his hand out and simply clenching his fist.
From across the prison yard, a watchtower crumpled up like a paper ball, the metal supports destroying the stone throughout as guards went tumbling down towards the ground. Immediately, the siren began blaring. Polaris and Nygma move quickly, heading to the back of the prison and waiting for the guards to pass before the Doctor used his abilities to tear a door from the hinges.
Woolfolk Prison was expansive and eerily quiet, even with the siren echoing throughout the hallways. The guards seemed preoccupied. Polaris and Nygma made their way up levels of the prison to the 3rd level; Meta-Security. There, they’d find Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
After examining multiple cells and seeing forgettable Captain Marvel villains, they finally found Sivana, who was currently standing in front of the cell door.
“I heard the commotion. Seems like I made the correct assumption.” Sivana leaned against the bars and gazed with his single eye towards Polaris and Nygma.
Nygma smiles, “Hello, Thad, old sport. Good to see you again! What happened to the uh...”
“The eye? I lost it to that...welp of a superhero.”
Polaris began to tear the bars of the door apart as Nygma grasped his cane with both hands, resting it on his shoulders.
“Hmm...well, lucky for you, Thad, I think I have just the thing! We just have to make a quick trip to Gotham...”
Although star trails have been captured many times before, it's something I wanted to try out myself. After the clouds got in the way of my first attempt, I decided to try a less committal location for my second go. In this instance, I just used the garage and the weather vane that has rusted into place as foreground interest. Luckily, it has rusted with north pointing towards the north star.
On this occasion, I've stacked 119 photos (each were 30 seconds a piece). Ideally, I wanted 120 photos to give me a round hour but I miscounted. I was originally going to go back into the house but I was worried the tripod was going to fall over so I stood outside with it the whole time... Next time I try this, I'll find something more interesting to place in the foreground.
