I have finally decided to post these photos. I made them for a proposal for--well obviously for this set. Unfortunately, I was not aware that Star Trek is a restricted IP and that Lego would not allow the proposal to go public because of course, what would be the point?
There's no point in keeping the photos and description to myself though, especially with the work that went into them. Description below:
'Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Lego starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no minifigure has gone before.'
Thrown through a spatial anomaly to a universe of modular building bricks, the crew of Starfleet's famous flagship find themselves sitting on your desk! With around 1800 parts, this UCS scaled Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation is lovingly detailed and mounts on an elegant display stand complete with dedication plaque. But the Enterprise-D is hardly the first ship to bear her name. Display the original Constitution class Enterprise from the 1960s TV classic alongside and at the same scale.
And of course, it isn't a Galaxy class starship without a separating saucer. With the secondary display stand--mounted with a Starfleet badge and the nanofigures of the main bridge crews of both the original series and The Next Generation--you can show off both the saucer and the stardrive sections at once! The nanofigures aren't just for display; act out some of your favorite scenes or make up your own story when you remove the saucer plates to access the main bridge.
Features:
-Prepare for saucer separation: When facing a highly dangerous threat, Captain Picard decides to split the saucer off into its own ship. With the secondary stand, you can mount the saucer and display it right alongside the stardrive section. Just swap the saucer for the battle bridge attachment and you suddenly have two ships!
-Control the action yourself: Remove the panel on the saucer section and access the main bridge. With the detailed nanofigures, the bridge crew is ready for anything. Place Data at Ops, Worf at Tactical, and Picard in his Captain's chair and 'Engage' at warp 6!
-Time for a temporal anomaly: Display the Constitution class Enterprise from the original series alongside its successor. Built to the same scale and detailed with a deflector array, impulse engines, and shuttle bay doors; you can command this highly swooshable starship on its five year mission of exploration and adventure.
-Assemble the senior staff: The nanofigures inlcude The Next Generation's Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lt. Commander La Forge, Lt. Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, Dr. Crusher, Counselor Troi, and the original series' Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Chief Engineer Scotty, Lieutenant Uhura, Lieutenant Sulu, and Ensign Chekov.
Built for play or display, these two starships are sure to be popular with all ages. Whether you are a young fan of great Lego sets, or a nostalgic collector of Star Trek memorabilia, please support this project and help us to bring the knowledge of the galaxy to everyone.

STIS is Hubble's spectrograph. It usually doesn't make images*. Sometimes, though, it does, and I feel lucky when I find them, because they can really be quite good. The colors are cobbled together from a variety of sources other than STIS. Some from WFPC2, others from WFC3. Color data wasn't available for the whole frame, so the top corners are monochrome. Still looks pretty good. Even got some H-alpha data in there.
There is a lot of dust in this nucleus, and apparently a lot of star formation going on. We can easily see the pink fluffs of clouds which are associated with the processes of star formation.
*Phil Plait tells me it makes a lot of images. I must be missing something when browsing the archive. I will try to be more watchful in the future.
Data from the following proposals were utilized:
archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=...
archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=...
archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=...
Color channels are generally:
Red: F814W and F658N
Green: F675W
Blue: F555W
Luminosity: Broadband optical light from STIS
North is 140.3° clockwise from up.

Treated Jessica to a dinner of deluxe Top Ramen and other ordinary things on New Years Eve (day), then we went downtown to watch the fireworks.
After watching the fireworks by the clock tower, we were walking back to my car, all the while, I was looking for the right spot to pop the question...I spotted this view, which shows two major Spokane landmarks and I knew this was the spot... I told her that this would be a great spot to watch the fireworks next year and I needed to take a picture to remember it.
--I set the camera up for a 20-second exposure on a gimpy little tripod which would force me to "take a knee"
--Made sure the exposure was right by taking a test shot
--Turned on long exposure noise reduction in order to give myself time to get back through the knee deep snow to the camera (not knee deep in picture because I was under a tree.
--Had Jessica press the shutter release button
--Wrote backwards in the air with an LED keychain for the light tagging.
--Rushed back to the camera, told her to check out the picture...(I was on a knee)
--As soon as she read the "graffiti," I pulled the ring out of my pocket and showed it to her.
She said yes.

I would like you to take me out on a (non-romantic) date. Where we go is entirely up to you, but please tell me if I need to put shoes on before we go. I'm usually barefoot.
When we go is also pretty much up to you. I'm in the UK, so my clock is eight hours ahead of SLT/PDT - so please bear that in mind when making time suggestions. Times don't have to be exact, but obviously I need a rough idea so I can make sure I don't miss you! If you want to IM me out of the blue and see if I'm free, I'm totally cool with that too. Whatever works.
I'm not expecting you to entertain me for hours - I just thought this would be a good way of exploring SL, meeting new people and getting to know others better. If you let me take our picture there, I'd be very grateful (but you are under no obligation to allow that, at all).
So, show me what you've got up your sleeve? - pretty places, quirky places, silly places, whatever you like. Please IM me, or drop me a message on Flickr or Plurk or wherever - my username on pretty much every platform is Kitti Wytchwood.

'Make it so!'
I recently learned that there are a couple of actual Marines out there who like the Space Marines idea. One of them asked me to do this... he's proposing to his girlfriend, who actually outranks him! Best of luck, Corporal Wengert! I hope she says yes (and thanks for letting me share this.)
Remember to support the Space Marines on Lego Cuusoo to see them as real Lego sets!
Special thanks to my wife of 17 years, who puts up with my strange requests. Like, "Hey, can I borrow your ring for awhile".
This is similar to another design proposal I uploaded earlier, but this one features swiveling front fenders and "center steering". Rear engine mounting was always part of the plan, right from the start.
A proposal of marriage (accepted) on the High Line in New York City. Sony A6000 with 18-55 lens. Photoshop and Nik software.
I wab yuuu ❤❤❤
Will you marry me??
I am minion Dave, 35cm tall and made fully of rich chocolate mud cake and covered in icing :)
Pretty happy with this given I haven't made a cake for over a year
Today I had the pleasure of shooting a proposal on the beach! It was a lot of fun hiding out and shooting from far back with the 300mm f2.8. She said yes so I moved in closer and got this one.
I finished my shift at work and bolted for the county fair grounds, with luck today I would find myself viewing the isthmus from above. Sadly upon arriving at the grounds, I found an empty stand for the helicopter tours; while there was a trailer advertising unfortunately no copter in site. As I briskly walked back to my car, I crossed paths with a couple whom asked me if I'd gone on a helicopter ride. To their dismay I gave them the bad news; but introduced myself none the less as "Chris Collins documentary photographer of all things Madison." The man seemed slightly disappointed that the copter wasn't present to give a ride above the city, and his girlfriend the same.
I pulled out my phone in an attempt to contact the company that was offering the rides, to no avail; as I gave the number to the man and he too tried without success on his phone. We both slowly made the walk back to our cars in the warm July evening, when suddenly a whirring noise came from above. As we looked up, our frowns turned to smiles and we had the helicopter in our sites. I was determined to go first, but decided it only seemed fair to let them go as I could wait for the front seat. As two young blonde gals jumped out of the helicopter as it landed on a grassy knoll near the fairgrounds I heard one yell "two or three?!" I responded back apparently with a voice too quiet for any too hear, and the next thing I knew the three of us were boarding the chopper.
I got the front seat, and the unknowing couple got the back two seats; I appreciated it as the glass was much less obstructed from the back (perfect for aerial photos). We took off and I began snapping write away, while the pilot chatted with air traffic controllers and the happy couple. Then I heard over the headset that we had been granted permission to do a flyby of the capital building. I was rushed, cramped, and out of room for changing my lens so I ran with it. The pilot asked if I was the guy who called earlier, and apologized for not taking my call; he expressed it's hard to answer a phone when your flying. I smiled and as I started to chat back to him, he hushed me and told me that he was cutting our communication as a "proposal was in progress."
Turning around, camera not nearly as ready as I would have liked it to be; the couples smiles had turned to a few tears of joy. I was still a bit confused, but turned around and continued to take in the isthmus snapping as many photos as I could as we began our descent. A mere ten minutes after we went up, we were coming back down. Once we landed and everyone said thanks to the pilot, I excited the chopper last to find the boy and girl hugging excessively. The girl had a box in her hand which had just a bit of sparkle in it, this is when I realized that the man had proposed her hand in marriage IN THE HELICOPTER!
As they pulled out a cell phone to take a selfie, it was my turn to propose a better idea; "Would you like a better picture?" Flashing my camera towards them, I explained it would be cool to include them in the 608 strangers aspect of my photography. After jotting a quick email address down, exchanging my business card, and then official introductions. I am happy to introduce May and Will! We clicked a few pictures, as they seemed to be rushing off; I managed to get the chopper taking off in the background with the big bling in the foreground. Icing on the cake, to tell the story "picture perfect" in so many ways!
This photo op was really a great change of pace from my strangers on the square, not that I don't appreciate them but it was just something so different. Plus being part of a couples engagement (that wasn't even part of the plan) was cool too! I suggest that if you like this write-up, you should check out the 100 strangers group. It's just full of awesome individuals and even more awesome encounters!

My daughter and her boyfriend on a muddy and windy run along the Wessex Ridgeway, Devizes, UK. We lay in wait in a hollow and when Melanie crested the hill Danny pounced! She said "yes".
Another picture from my proposal to Sarah on the beach of the Polynesian during Holiday Wishes on November 15, 2007.
I post this today because the February/March 2009 issue of "Orlando Attractions Magazine" hit newstands. In this issue, our engagement is described in an article about engagements and weddings at Walt Disney World. To preview the issue, click here (then click "Happily Ever After" to see a tiny preview of our story).

I had a fun proposal last year over at the Amway Grand. I brought a couple of AD200's with me. I slapped a magenta gel and grid on the rim light and a MagSphere on the key light. I had a couple of family members hold the lights.
The clouds broke open just long enough for the sun to shine down on these two as Dave asked Jennifer to marry him. It was an honor to capture this moment at Wind Point in Racine, WI. Congrats you two.
Arkalalah Parade
Arkansas City, KS
This fine gent entered a mini-house on a trailer sporting a "Marry Me" sign over the back porch as a float in this year's Arkalalah Parade. Manning the porch, when his float reached the appropriate place along the route, the suitor stepped off from it and invited his gal out onto Main Street USA, and popped the question. He gets 5-stars for proposal creativity, providing a proposal which she will probably not soon forget.
She said "Yes!".
This photo isn't staged. It's the actual proposal.
I made Courtney take several shots with me until I got the timing right. About two seconds before the camera timer went off, she thought we were just taking another vacation photo on the beach at China Cove in Point Lobos.
If you check out the large resolution, you can see the surprise on her face. (I'm very happy with the way this photo turned out.)
