Two and a half weeks ago, my brother, sister, and I took a short sibling vacation to Iceland. I am now uploading pictures from that trip.
Our first day we did the classic Golden Circle route: Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss before driving to Vik on the south coast for the evening. This, of course, is the middle stop, Geysir, although the actual geyser is called Strokkur (the bigger Geysir geyser has stopped erupting).
I struggled with how best to photograph and capture the power of the Strokkur geyser. It took a lot of patience to get a good sequence of shots like this, but with the gray, cloudy skies the images looked a bit flat out of the camera. I decided to go for a bit more extreme black and white look than I might typically use, and combine all my shots into a single image, to give the photograph enough visual oomph to match the actual experience of watching this jet of water shoot up into the sky.
my second try at sequence shot. all shot taken without tripod. background image consists of 2 photos stitched together. cut out the rider out of the other images, and masked the edges with the clone stamp tool.

F-14A Tomcat - 1/15th Scale
After 9 months of work my Tomcat is finally done. The model depicts Wichita 106 from VF-1 Wolfpack squadron, one of the first two squadrons to deploy onto a carrier with the Tomcat. It is displayed on a section of the USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier that carried the squadron in 1974 and 1975.
The plane itself measures 127cm long and contains roughly 8,000 pieces. As with my Phantom it has PF function powered control surfaces including elevons, rudder and spoilers along with a host of other manual functions like variable geometry swing wings, leading and trailing edge flaps, speed brakes and arrestor hook.
The model also has an after-market F-14A sound module with a 2-inch speaker in each engine tail pipe complete with start-up and shut-down sequences and LED lights that engage at the afterburner stage.
There are numerous custom made decals and stencils, a detailed cockpit and custom vacuum formed canopy glazing. The “airbags” that sit under the sweeping wings are made from dyed Lego sail material.
The carrier deck is a section depicting the starboard forward catapult of the USS Enterprise, complete with jet blast deflector, MD-1 Tow Tractor and various poseable deck crew (designed by the awesome Joe Perez).
The nose gear is inter-changeable to depict either standing or catapult launch stances.
There are certainly nods to some of the other great Lego Tomcat builds out there so thanks to everyone who provided inspiration. This was undoubtable the most complex and challenging project I have done to date, I found the Tomcat’s curves incredibly hard to re-create even at this scale.
Thanks for looking, next up it’s either going to be a 1/15th scale F-8E Crusader or a 1/10 scale Spitfire Mk XIV…see you in 6-9 months
If you ever wonder why free-divers have safety divers, this sequence, top left to bottom right, should clear that up.Shallow water blackout left this man vulnerable but he was fine within a couple of minutes and will try again tomorrow at the Kona Depth Challenge 2018. Great job, guys!
Here's a composite of 5 shots that I took recently showing the landing sequence of a Hoverfly.
I have always wanted to take a Hoverfly shot with the fly hovering above the flower and my previous attempts have been a thumping failures.
This time around I made sure that I had the correct equipment (a strudy tripod) and , patience. Luckily the light was good and the Hoverfly was very persistent and helpful (very lucky me). I took more than 50 shots and was lucky to get at least 15 which had the fly in focus :-) It was challenging try to focus on the fly with a big lens in manual mode.
And yes, I have to work some more on my compositing skills...
Hope you are all having a great week!

The series yet continues with another snap of the ERODE's White beast raging past with the Island (so called Express) to Bangalore !!
TATA based WAG-5 triplet - 23162 (leader) pulled into the Garga river bridge with the BOXN freight rake at its tow !! Latter I confirmed from CYM (Chief Yard Master) of Bokaro whether this rake was empty or not !! They confirmed that this freight had come out of BSL (Bokaro Steel Plant Limited) with some finished product !! For (BSKC-RNC-BNDM) section being a gradient section , all the units of the triplet were live !!
