I can't quite make out what it is this crow was working on, but there was obviously some skill and patience involved. I was just able to grab a quick shot while holding Blanca with my left hand. She wanted to chase the crow, and the crow knew it but was reluctant to abandon the prize and waited till the last moment before flying off with it.

Technical composition on the museum

My title is a mouthful, and it is one way of tipping my hat to the 19th century Tasmanian painters who loved to string together very descriptive phrases for their work. So this scene is as described in the title.

 

The sunset light looking north on this winter's evening was so full of pastel shades, that I had to take advantage of the scene - especially with that pool of water offering some golden reflections.

 

Many people are amazed at the way Australian mountains appear blue in the distance - even in the midday sun. I'm told that when eucalyptus oils, dust particles, and water vapour (transpiration) from the leaves combine, as the sunlight hits, it creates an optical illusion of a blue haze.

 

The technical term for this is "Mie scattering" which occurs when incoming light with shorter wavelengths is preferentially scattered by particles within the atmosphere imparting a blueish colour to any distant objects, including mountains and clouds. It is even more pronounced in low light. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

Red, vintage 1930 Škoda 154 fire truck stands in the National Technical Museum, Prague, Czech Republic.

 

Fire fighting automobiles started to replace horse drawn fire engines in the first decade of the 20th century. In 1930, there were already 317 of fire fighting automobiles in Czechoslovakia, most of these produced in this country. Automobile plants, however, as a rule supplied only the chassis of the vehicle, which was then equipped by a specialized firm with fire-fighting facilities and usually also a pump driven by the vehicle's engine. The fire engine on display, which was purchased in 1930 by the Fire Brigade in Náchod — Staré Město nad Metují, was built on the chassis of a Škoda 154 lorry by the V. Ig. Stratílek – Firefighting equipment factory in Vysoké Mýto.

Happy Truck Thursday!

I was experimenting with Technic panels and this little craft appeared. I'm not sure if it's a spaceship or anti-grav flyer.

 

There are some more views on Instagram. I'm quite proud of fitting the engine into the tail!

 

Laut plätschert die Schwarzwasser das Tal hinab, während die VI K das Tal hinauf schnauft. Spät zuhören schnauft dann 99 1715-4 an der Stützmauer vorbei.

So, VersaEmerge had some technical difficulties at their SXSW Purevolume show. Blake's 9 volt battery died, and no one had another one.

Kinda funny how you can't play an electric/acoustic without a battery.

But since no one had another battery available, they just decided to get down to our level, and play a zero electricity involved song, in the crowd, less than a foot away from me.

:))))

Thank you VersaEmerge, for giving me one of the best concert experiences in a long time.

There are multiple definitions for when a boat becomes a ship, including size, purpose, and other characteristics:

 

Size: Some say a ship is a vessel that's at least 197 feet (60 meters) long. Others say a ship is a large, ocean-faring vessel.

 

Purpose: A ship is a versatile vessel that can be used for commercial, military, or scientific purposes. A boat is often used for leisure activities.

 

Masts: A sailing ship may be defined as having at least three masts.

Deck: A ship may have a through-fitted deck, while a boat may have an open cockpit.

 

Weight: A ship may weigh at least 500 tonnes.

Crew: A ship may have a commander and a crew, while a boat may just have whomever is on it at the time.

 

Personal use: A vessel may be considered a yacht if it was constructed solely for personal use and has a combined occupancy of less than 100, including crew.

 

Submarines are technically ships, but they are traditionally referred to as boats. The original submarines were small and manned only when in use, so “boat” was appropriate.

well, geographically this shouldn't be in my "Bremerhaven" set. But I re-visited this place while staying there...

Technically, and honestly, these are three sunsets. But I haven't heard a song about three sunsets. So, the title stays.

 

This is the majestic and mighty Mekong. And my humble spectacles. And rods poking out of the boat I was travelling in.

Ive had a few of these technic figures for many years, but have never used them in a build.

While i was looking at monowheels ( google images ) for inspiration for the other one, i came across one that was perfect for this figure, hope you like it..

Its was a bit of a squeeze to fit him in there....

Yet another crazy shot, going back to the slow speed panning approach, keeping focus on the boat, this time focusing manually. My purpose this time was to freeze the effect of the stroke on the water surface. You can still see the tale-telling shadow of the red oar which just got out of the water. Technically, it was a really lousy dirty stroke: a perfect stroke wouldn't have risen any water.

 

Otra locura de disparo, volviendo a la técnica de barrido a baja velocidad, manteniendo el enfoque sobre el bote, esta vez con enfoque manual. Mi intención esta vez era congelar el efecto de la palada sobre la superficie del agua. Todavía se aprecia la sombra reveladora de la pala roja que acaba de salir. Técnicamente fue una mala palada (saca sucio, diría un remero): una palada perfecta no hubiera levantado agua.

The pilot's face is clearly visible in this shot. Also, just visible through the blue tinted front screen is the circular reflector gunsight. This was, arguably, the most (only?) technically advanced piece of equipment in the aircraft. The gunsight was calibrated or 'harmonised' to show the pilots where his bullets would hit, and took account of the effect of gravity on the bullets (which start to drop as soon as they leave the guns), and the distance the target aircraft would have travelled before the bullets reach it. The pilot had to dial in the estimated distance of the target, and an illuminated circle was projected from a small lamp-holder and lens assembly up onto the circular reflector visible in the picture. The idea was to get the target in the circle - easier said than done. Without an effective targeting system, fighter aircraft were pretty much useless, so this small item of equipment, more than anything, was the very heart of the Spitfire. Spitfire cockpits had a small rack on the right-hand side containing 3 spare bulbs for the gunsight, should one fail in use. I seem to recall being told that the gunsights were 'top secret' and that pilots of downed aircraft were to destroy them to prevent them falling into enemy hands, but looking at some illustrations of the gunsights, they have 'patent' numbers clearly marked on them, so evidently full details were published - so not secret at all!

Despite what we see in movies, Spitfires carried about enough ammunition for only 20 seconds of continuous firing of their guns.

Technical Notes:

I started in Photoshop CS5 . . . UNIMPRESSED - Adobe dudes.

Next, I processed it in Lightroom 5 . . . Unimpressed Adobe.

Finally, I procesed it in CaptureOne, and polished it in Nikon Capture NX2.

 

I almost relegated this photo to permanent storage.

Nome: Nebulosa da Águia, NGC 6611, Messier 16

Tipo: Aglomerado aberto estelar com nebulosidade

Distância: aprox. 7.000 anos-luz

Magnitude Aparente: 6,4

Constelação: Serpente (Cauda) [1]

 

A Nebulosa da Águia é uma notável região ativa de formação estelar localizada na constelação da Serpente (cauda). A nebulosa, uma nuvem gigante de gás interestelar e poeira, já criou um considerável aglomerado de estrelas jovens. O aglomerado é também chamado de NGC 6611 e a nebulosa como IC 4703. O aglomerado foi descoberto em 1745 por Philippe Loys de Chéseaux. Em 1764, Charles Messier catalogou novamente o aglomerado como M16 mas descreveu a presença de uma tênue névoa, provavelmente indicações da nebulosa. [1]

 

Este enxame estelar tem somente 5,5 milhôes de anos (de acordo com Sky Catalog 2000 e Gotz) com uma formação estelar ainda ativa na nebulosa; isto resulta na presença de muitas estrelas quentes do tipo espectral O6. Estima-se que o aglomerado tenha uma extensão de 15 anos-luz e a nebulosa tenha uma extensão aproximada de 70 x 55 anos-luz. [1]

 

Os destaques desta nebulosa não param por aí. Ainda temos nesta nebulosa os famosos "Pilares da Criação", estruturas com formato similar à estalagmites localizadas no centro da imagem. Essa região já foi alvo do telescópio espacial Hubble em 1995 criando imagens que encantaram o mundo. As colunas dos pilares são compostas de hidrogênio e poeira, que agem como incubadoras de novas estrelas. Dentro das colunas e na superfície, os astrônomos encontraram nós, ou glóbulos, de gás mais denso, chamados EGG (Evaporating Gaseous Globules - Glóbulos Gasosos em Evaporação). Várias estrelas estão sendo formadas no interior destes glóbulos. [2]

Name: Eagle Nebula, NGC 6611, Messier 16

Type: Open cluster with nebulosity

Distance: near 7,000 light-years

Apparent magnitude: 6.4

Constellation: Serpens Cauda [1]

 

The Eagle Nebula Messier 16 (M16) is a conspicuous region of active star formation, situated in Serpens Cauda. The starforming nebula, a giant cloud of interstellar gas and dust, has already created a considerable cluster of young stars. The cluster is also referred to as NGC 6611, the nebula as IC 4703. The discoverer, Philippe Loys de Chéseaux, describes only the cluster when recording his 1745-1746 discovery. Charles Messier, on his independent rediscovery of June 3, 1764, mentions that these stars appeared "enmeshed in a faint glow", probably suggestions of the nebula.[1]

 

This stellar swarm is only about 5.5 million years old (according to the Sky Catalog 2000 and Götz) with star formation still active in the Eagle Nebula; this results in the presence of very hot young stars of spectral type O6. The cluster has a linear extension of about 15 light years. The nebula extends much farther out, to a diameter of over 30', corresponding to a linear size of about 70x55 light years. [1]

 

The highlights of this nebula don't stop here. We found in this nebula the famous "Pillars of Creation", structures similar to stalagmites situated in center of image. This region was target of Hubble Space Telescope in 1995 that made incredible images. The columns of pillars are composed of hidrogen and dust, that act like incubator of new stars. Inside of columns and surface of this structures, the astronomers found nodes, or globules, of dense gas, known as EGG (Evaporating Gaseous Globules). Various stars are being formed inside this globules.[2]
