Like many families right now, we're doing 'remote learning', and today one of Frost Juniors school tasks was to "Make a Star Wars movie set" out of LEGO.
This is his photo. His idea was to make a cool photo showing his two favourite figures battling above lava. We set it up on our kitchen table using only basic household items.
Along the way, we talked about concepts such as framing, and lighting. What to put in the shot, and what to leave out. Where the focus of the shot should be, and how to best achieve it. About how we could separate Kylo from the background using effective lighting, and how those lighting effects could be achieved. And just generally had fun playing together.
How was your day? Are you remote learning too? Hows it going in your house?
Who needs broadband when you can stand here and wait for a call. On the road to Ockle with the islands of Eigg and Rhum just off the coast.

Another one from that project, i shot in on Ektar 100 but i had no lighmeter with me so freeballed it, and it was kinda underexposed and ugly, so black and white it is

This week's theme was: M is for Monochrome
Taken on our walk on Monday, a rare day of beautiful sunny weather. Out of the photos I took this seemed like the best one for a black and white conversion.
That's the first word that comes to mind when describing the view from the South Rim. It makes me feel as if I'm overlooking an area that has been seen but not explored by man. I think there's one trail (unseen here) that passes through, but it's not for day hikers such as myself.
The region is described as the "South Rim", which I actually haven't reached yet. This scene is from the southwest portion of the trail, looking west. The ridges faintly seen in the distance are in Mexico, with the Rio Grande flowing from right to left just in front of them.
Big Bend National Park, Texas.
Remote and very tough to get to, deep in the Catamarca Region of the Argentine Puna Atacama lies this truly massive and epic Horseshoe Canyon.
There is a perennial fast flowing stream/river at the base of the canyon ( about 4 metres wide )
One of Arcelor Mittal's remote controlled SW1500's makes its way through the steel mill in East Chicago Indiana
Not for the idiot box, for those fun badass battery-eating cars from my childhood. This build was on the simple side, fun and nostalgic, but I'd forgotten why I hate building with black...old camera is old.
Built for my Iron Builder competition with Bruce Lowell using the dark red fez piece.

All Saints Church at Waterden is in a remote location. The village of Waterden only has 1 house and a farm but the church now has monthly services. The church is surrounded by snowdrops at this time of year.
Description Remote, frigid, and often treacherous to traverse, Antarctica has always posed a challenge to the explorers and scientists who work there. As a result, remote-sensing scientists have steadily worked to develop detailed, accurate imagery of the continent—both to support research on the ground and to better study the continent from a safer vantage point. In November 2007, NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the British Antarctic Survey jointly released a new image mosaic of Antarctica. Development of the mosaic was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. Known as the Landsat Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA), this map is made of imagery that has a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 15 meters per pixel, the most detailed satellite mosaic of the icy continent yet created.
LIMA is comprised of Landsat images acquired between December 25, 1999, and December 31, 2001. This image shows a small portion of the mosaic around Ferrar Glacier, in the Dry Valleys near McMurdo Station. To create this image, data visualizers draped LIMA imagery over a digital elevation model to give a three-dimensional effect. The elevation shown is actual elevation (no exaggeration), and the perspective looks inland from the Ross Sea.
Although many people think of Antarctica as entirely blanketed by snow, the continent sports some areas of bare ground, and the Dry Valleys are a prominent example. Many years of relentless wind have swept these valleys clean of their snow cover. The same wind has also created blue ice. Ice absorbs a small amount of red light, but snow crystals are too small to show this light-absorption effect. Composed of larger ice crystals, however, blue ice makes the red light absorption more obvious. In this image, blue ice appears near the top of the image, upstream from the Ferrar Glacier. (Another example of blue ice appears along Prince Olav Coast, captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.)
LIMA shows remarkable detail, such as the peaks and shadows of the Royal Society Range (between the Ferrar and Koettlitz Glaciers), and the dirty surface of the Koettlitz Glacier, covered by dust and rocks blown off the nearby bare ground. LIMA also captures fingers of snow reaching down into Taylor and Wright Valleys, and the pools of snow along Taylor Valley.

This week's FlickrFriday theme is: Remote.
Had to go with this because I can't get to a remote location to take a photo so...glad the word has more than one meaning. XD
Taken and sent from my iPhone.
Sometimes its best to just send in the robot.

Best GI Joe accessory in DECADES.
UP 700 and 573 (ex Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific, respectively) are on the end of a baretable consist as they reposition it at the Denver Intermodal Terminal. The two locomotives have been upgraded for remote operation, and the engineer can be seen standing on the side of 700 with the control pack around his neck.
