Back in October I ran across the Red Earth Festival. I only happened upon it as I was in the gardens to meet someone for a photoshoot. I had come early to scope out the area and was surprised to see so many cars and people (and the sounds of drums in the distance). It was great to have this festival at such an accessible location as I am sure plenty of others happened upon it just as I had.

POLAR SCOPE FINDER by STARDUSTPETE

This extra gadget makes polar aligning so much easier giving a much clearer view and has a 1x or 2x adjustment. Plus it just pushes straight over the original polar scope and clamps tight with a thumb screw. Easy peasy. Then there's the rotating base swivel with quick release, this is for when you're out in a dark site and you've set your tripod as close as possible pointing north but then find its's not quite enough. With this you can fine adjust and also has a quick release plate for removing the Staradventurer.

Consider this a medieval/fantasy sniper,

I made this to fit on a floating rock, an airship or just a very high tower.

theoritically it's probably not an effective device,

considering possible wind, inaccurate,..

but remember, it's fantasy, no one needs to explain why the rocks are floating as well :P

Scoped Heavy Rifle by Beau Donnan

Thanks to Azaghal Gabilzaramul for his scope mount design: www.flickr.com/photos/mooseteg/3134734654/

As the accuracy of small arms increased, fueled by the arms race of the Great Steam War, it bacame neccesary to improve the sights of firearms. The invention of the "sharpshooter", a scoped heavy rifle, revolutionized infantry warfare and made foot soldiers more of a threat to tank crewmen.

This is my first Flickr post in a long time. I've been dabbling in semi-pro work. I define semi-pros as those who are being paid something for their work but never enough to cover their costs! (Pros actually make money. ;) One thing that doing semi-pro work has done for is suck the joy out of photography......not the fun.....but the joy. I always enjoy solving problems with the camera, but for the last year, I haven't just gone out with a camera to photograph what I want to photograph...... stuff that I'm not going to sell..... just stuff that makes me go "wow". When I started into photography those were simple things.....flowers, basic landscapes, insects..... stuff that most people don't pay attention to in their daily lives. I would like to get back to that. In the mean time, I'm settling for an adrenaline rush. The Blue Angels are at the Cleveland Air Show this year. I went up a couple of years ago with a 300/2.8. By the end of the day, I had the 1.7 on it and still felt like I could use a little more reach. People ask me sometimes about air show photography. I guess it really depends on what you're trying to to capture. Many photographers don't own anything longer that 200mm. If you are trying to capture aircraft in formations....wider types of scenes....200mm can get the job done nicely. Tighter shots though, require longer glass. I rented a 500/4 from www.lensrentals.com It did indeed give me the reach I was looking for. Even better, the 500/4 was hand holdable for me. The winds were terrible and I don't think the Blue Angels ever flew ( we left early due to the weather) but I was still able to control the lens well enough to get my shots at ISO 400 (very overcast). I'm sure the VR helped too. The big problem with long glass like that is what I call "the rifle scope effect". It takes a couple of seconds to find the subject in the view finder.... two seconds that you often don't have at an air show. I suppose in the end that 400mm would have been the perfect focal length.... but the 400/2.8 is not hand holdable and a 5.6 lens would have been too slow to get the job done on such a dark day. The 500/f4 definitely gets 2 thumbs up as super-tele. However, whether its the right lens for you at an air show depends on a variety of factors...mostly the nature of the shots you want to capture. OK, hope everyone is well.

Staff Sgt. Douglas Brown looks through a boresight telescope on an F-16 Fighting Falcon trainer to make sure the M61A1 Vulcan cannon barrels are correctly aligned at Misawa Air Base, Japan, July 2, 2012. As Brown watched the crosshairs of the scope, he instructed another Airman to move a collimator so the weapon alignment was accurate. Brown is a 35th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron resource advisor.

DX XRF-228A5 'Pinpointer' by Barcel PL

14 9

All sizes please!

Propably the final version - i've used s**tload of my creative ideas on this project:D

Since version A4, i made only cosmetic changes to the whole gun, and added custom scope

Also - check all tech data on A4 version description

Hope you like it:D

Description

Although excellent parameters, A4 version of 'Pinpointer' wasn't a complete succes. Due to minor comfort issues and lack of sufficient targeting system, Delta Xray took customers advices into account and re-projected rifle. The outcome, is the new A5 version.

Changes since A4 version:

-Larger thumb hole, for easier operating

-Custom build-in scope (model QXT-11a - see description_

-Even better rail cooling system

QXT-11a Indirect View System (patent pending)

Due to the extreme distances between target and XRF-228 user, scientists inveted completely new targeting system. Scope works in two modes: Direct and Indirect view. Direct is standard see-through modified zoom (4x-20x) sniper scope. The innovation is Indirect View. Small computer on the side collects video feed (from a variety of sources - helmet cams, hacked security cams and so on). This image is displayed to the user. Alongside - computer with collects data where the gun is pointed and corrects that on the display (so while viewing target through another soldier helm-cam, u still see your crosshairs - they appear as on the object user' currently looking at.) Also, a little button immiediately points the gun a the place the user's currently looking at.

Micro-Movement System:

When target's farther than 3000m meters, it's almost impossible to correct the crosshair with human hands. And there's another innovation. Small joystick is connected to the Gyro-stabilizer, allowing for supreme accuracy. (also works when Indirect view is on)

----------------------------

I hope you understand how scope works - it's not that complicated:D

The PennLUG Roundhouse collaborative by Cale Leiphart, Nate Brill, and Glenn Holland

"Let's light this candle!"

We decided early on in the project that we wanted to go all out on this. We were not content building just a pretty building exterior. This had to be packed with detail both large and small and we especially wanted to have a fully detailed interior. And what better way to highlight that interior detail than to light everything up. So yeah, we did just that.

Not just any lighting would do. This had to have that authentic 1940's industrial lighting look. For the small attached machine shop Nate used the real deal, ordinal LEGO 4.5v lights in the ceilings for that classic false ceiling/recessed lighting look. For the roundhouse proper that job fell to me. We needed something small that could be easily worked into a brick built light fixture. I turned to Brickstuff for the lighting hardware. Using warm white LEDs for that lovely incandescent glow the building shines like like a building from the 40's should.

There are a lot of photos here in this set. With something this big there is a lot to cover and a lot of small details to capture. I hope you take the time to view them and get the full scope of this creation.
