You can’t beat this iconic location for a sunrise or sunset shoot. The colours that project onto the lighthouse and the sky during sunset are amazing.
Combine that with the partial eclipse blood moon and it makes for a nice night out.
I had the amazing pleasure to meet the incredible Matthew Letscher today at a Comic-Con event!
For those unaware of The Flash television show that airs on the CW channel (do you hate superheroes, or just live under a rock?!), Matthew plays the Reverse Flash AKA Eobard Thawne.
I was fortunate enough to meet, shake hands with, and talk to Matt at the Con. I even got him to autograph the base of my BL[]CKIES adaptation of the Reverse Flash and Flash characters! That is incredibly exciting. I had built these characters to create an exclusive image to give to Matt, and very last minute I decided to bring them along as well, just in case I had this opportunity. I'm so glad I brought them in my bag!
What I found funny was that Matt, his manager, and other assistants gathered around to see these characters and watch Matt autograph them. (I'm really disappointed I didn't get to photograph or film him signing my MOC, but I was too busy talking to him! :D) Even a couple members of the public joined in to see them. I can't believe that I drew (a small) crowd in front of an actor! What an honor.
This Comic Con was an incredible experience, one that I will never forget. Apart from attending their panels, I also met and shook hands with: Brett Dalton (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Max Hernandez (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. / Marvel films), David Ramsey (Arrow), and Michelle Harrison (The Flash).
I also presented an exclusive image to David Ramsey, who after speaking with, really enjoys my Arrow vignette series! So exciting.
Had a pretty nerdy day, and my excitement is starting to dial down...but I still have awesome loot to frame and hang up on my walls...
Can't wait for next year's con!! Have a great weekend!

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's let LEGO be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.

Damaged beyond repair 21 December 1992 at Faro-International, Potugal. Crashed on landing due unstable approach in poor weather.
At 05:52 LT Flight MP495 took off from Amsterdam for a flight to Faro. The flight had been delayed for 40 minutes due to no. 2 engine reverser problems. After a flight of 2 and 17 minutes a the flight was cleared to descend to FL70. Shortly afterwards Faro Approach Control provided the crew with the following weather: wind 15deg./18 kts; 2500 m visibility; thunderstorms with 3/8 clouds at 500 feet, 7/8 clouds at 2300 feet and 1/8 cumulonimbus at 2500 feet, temp. 16deg. C.
Clearance to descend to 1220 m was given at 08:20, followed by a clearance to 915 m and 650 m 4, resp. 6 minutes later. At 08:29 the crew were informed that the runway was flooded. At an altitude of 303 m and 140 knots speed the approach became unstable and at 177 m the first officer switched the autopilot from CMD (command mode) to CWS (control-wheel steering). One minute later it was switched from CWS to manual and the airspeed began falling below approach reference speed. About 3-4 seconds short of touchdown elevator was pulled to pitch up and engine power was increased. When the no. 3 and 5 spoilers extended, the aircraft had a 25deg. bank, left wing up. The right main gear contacted the runway with a 900 feet/min descent rate at 126 knots, +8.79deg. pitch up, +5.62deg roll and 1,9533G. The right wing separated while the aircraft slid down the runway. The aircraft came to rest 1100 m from the runway 11 threshold and 100 m to the right of the centreline and caught fire.
PROBABLE CAUSES: "The high rate of descent in the final phase of the approach and the landing made on the right landing gear, which exceeded the structural limitations of the aircraft.; The crosswind, which exceeded the aircrafts limits and which occurred in the final phase of the approach and during landing. The combination of both factors determined stresses which exceeded the structural limitations of the aircraft.
Contributing factors were: The instability of the approach; the premature power reduction, and the sustaining of this condition, probably due to crew action; the incorrect wind information delivered by Approach Control; the absence of an approach light system; the incorrect evaluation by the crew of the runway conditions; CWS mode being switched off at approx. 80ft RA, causing the aircraft to be in manual control in a critical phase of the landing; the delayed action of the crew in increasing power; the degradation of the lift coefficient due to heavy showers." (DGAC Portugal)
The Netherlands Aviation Safety Board commented that the probable cause should read: "a sudden and unexpected wind variation in direction and speed (windshear) in the final stage of the approach. Subsequently a high rate of descent and an extreme lateral displacement developed, causing a hard landing on the right-hand main gear, which in combination with a considerable crab angle exceeded the aircraft structural limitations.
Contributing factors: From the forecast and the prevailing weather the crew of MP495 did not expect the existence of windshear phenomena.; The premature large power reduction and sustained flight idle thrust, most probable due to crew action.; CWS mode being disengaged at approx. 80ft RA, causing the aircraft to be in manual control at a critical stage in the landing phase."

This is the best gadget I ever purchased fo a camera. It allowed me to instal the 50mm lens on my Pentax Spotmatic backwards which turned it into a super macro. It only cost me $2.90 and I wish I could but the same thing for my current Sony, but thus far, I have not found one.

Bad Black Cat, bad.
Pick up all those little fuzzy pieces you darn cat.
Oh well, at least there were no worries about shrapnel.
Cheers.

Thanks for the visit ;-)

The Chandra image of G327.1-1.1 shows an outward-moving shock wave (faint red color) and a bright pulsar wind nebula (blue). The pulsar wind nebula appears to have been distorted by the combined action of a reverse shock wave, which may have flattened it, and by the motion of the pulsar, which created a comet, or lobster-like tail. An asymmetric supernova explosion may have given a recoil kick to the pulsar, causing it to move rapidly and drag the pulsar wind nebula along with it. Two structures resembling lobster claws protrude from near the head of the pulsar wind nebula. The origin of these features, which may be produced by the interaction of the pulsar wind with the reverse shock, is unknown.

So, this'un's a bit different. I don't currently have a reverse flash fig to use, so I've come up with this one. Pretty happy with it, just wish there was a yellow helmet I could use.
Did this photoshoot for Ty & Mikal's album Reverse Shark Attack almost a year ago now. These never made the cut, but I like them and thought they should see the light of day...or the glow of your computer at least.
Enjoy
