Modern techniques make everything look more and more the same but the soul lies in the eyes.
First time I worked on a RL photo.
textures : Joes Sistah.
I ran to the camera too soon....
A bit of technical difficulty x3
I kinda like it though.
This is my backyard, in Latham, while it's snowing.

My fifth build for my Iron Builder round against LittleJohn! The seed part is the Technic Cable Connector in green
The MATL (Martian Atmospheric Tracked Laboratory) Rover is a single seat science platform that is designed for short-range research operations and base maintenance.
Febrovery 2023 build. Technic fig scaled with some odd and useless pieces integrated into the design.
This cute and impressive wagtail gave me a good show and got used to me pretty quick. It is obviously a tough subject to photograph due to their size and speed. Out of the few thousands shots I took, a couple stood out of the acceptably Sharp that I managed to capture. This where it caught this flying insect display it’s impressive technic. I also liked that I captured the reflection. This has been captured along the Silh in Zurich.
Early morning on the Nanpiao Coal Railway and the first passenger service of the day is leaving the wayside platform at Shaguotun on its way to Sanjiazi. My little bridge camera was not up to moving subjects in what little light there was so it was 1/4 second at ISO 400 with predictable results. Despite the blur and noise, to me it still recaptures the unrepeatable atmosphere of that icy cold morning.

I've checked the manual, read the FAQs and raised a support query but, frankly, I don't think this is a known issue.
Last night I waved good-bye to the beautiful Rho Ophiuchus star and nebulae complex at the lower right of the Milky Way in this frame. After this week, Rho will move down to a place too low in the sky to be photographed until next March. This is one of my favourite celestial objects in the night sky.
Some personal news...
After giving up astrophotography last February because it was so hard on my physical health and selling the main pieces of my astro equipment, I have spent the last 6 months realizing just how much I miss this hobby, and how much I miss being out there with my two astro-buddies Doug and Wade chasing the stars.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to buy back from a friend the little Star Adventurer tracking mount that I sold last year to help finance my bigger mount... so I bought it! Although I won't be doing astrophography at nearly the level or intensity I once did, I will at least be able to dabble a little like I did last night! Easy peasy and lots of fun!

Messing around with a technic frame for larger mech legs, but before I went to far I wanted to make sure I could cover the technic skeleton efficiently. This is what I came up with, it may be slightly rough if your a Lego by math kinda guy, but it's solid when assembled and that's good enough for me.
I know there are probably other ways of doing this such as with inverted 90 degree brackets and technic bricks (not beams).
Additional note: If you replace the tile on the two stud wide side with two plates and and put a 3 wide plate centred to the single stud side if forms a fairly perfect SNOT rectangle. Didn't show an example of that in the picture so you'll have to take my word for it or try it yourself.
Still not sure if it will be useful to me but thought I would share anyway.
Description
First light of my new mount Mesu 200 mk2 !!
Really happy when I compare with the same picture last year, under different skies and diferent mount....
NGC 6820 is a small reflection nebula near the open cluster NGC 6823 in Vulpecula. The reflection nebula and cluster are embedded in a large faint emission nebula called Sh 2-86. The whole area of nebulosity is often referred to as NGC 6820.
Open star cluster NGC 6823 is about 50 light years across and lies about 6000 light years away. The center of the cluster formed about two million years ago and is dominated in brightness by a host of bright young blue stars. Outer parts of the cluster contain even younger stars. It forms the core of the Vulpecula OB1 stellar association. (Description credits: Wikipedia)

Iron made by hand , not cast like most of the decorative lace seen on old buildings . The spear tops which could be cast but the rest is hand fabricated in segments with the aid of jigs and hot riveted together , a real craft and worthy of appreciation .
Wrought Iron .

I should have given the film a bit more speed or a bit longer in the second developer bath. But you know I'm okay with this dark moody look and feel. I took a bit of work in post processing to get some details out, but overall, it looks like Tech Pan!

Position: Railway station Kladno, Czech Republic. This technical detail belongs to the steam locomotive "Parrot" made in Czechoslovakia. Locomotive series 477,0 is the last type of stream locomotive manufactured in the ČKD Praha for the Czechoslovak state railways.
Following the collapse, Scimitar's use of Armored Technicals proved to be an effective, mobile asset connecting their territory. The one pictured above features a DSHK, a door mounted 249, communications antenna, armored cab and engine, run flat tires, and a LED light rack.
So an upload! It's been a while, especially making something with wheels. Side note, do you all think that vehicles with wheels can exist alongside hover vehicles? I've been building, just haven't uploaded anything recently. That being said there's big stuff in the works.
The truck is highly inspired off of Christian's Technical based on Andrew's design.
While the community is certainly not what it once was here on Flickr, let me know what you think of this and if you're still out there. Check out my Instagram here: www.instagram.com/sci.fi.dude/
1975
My first true stereo. In 1975 self-purchased at the local Technics dealer. To this day in good shape and so it sounds.
Technic Citroën 2CV Charleston.
This is a heavy MOD of Nico71's version. I bought his instruction and started modding it so it resembles the real car better. Still not perfect :)
The roof line is just 1 stud wide and runs more smoothly.
HOG steering.
seats are different and the front seat have been moved 1 stud backwards and the back seat 2 studs backwards.
And a lot of detail modifications, like the bumpers, door color line.
Just like the original is has steering, ultra soft suspension and opening doors, hood and trunk.
Teal has fallen. The competition, however, continues eternally.
This one is somewhere between a 8257 revamp, a space marine, and a primussian technicfig hardsuit.
Technically this was taken yesterday but I've processed it today and I like it.
Mr Golightly and I went to Haworth for the weekend - an early Christmas present to ourselves and the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping. (All presents are now purchased apart from 4 small items.) It was pantomime weekend in Haworth and Father Christmas was wandering up and down the Main Street with lots of other famous faces.
Explore #241 - thank you!
I've shot the HH11 local dozens of times. It's an easy target and it's always a single GP38-2.
I've also shot from this location at CP Harrisburg from atop the State Street Bridge dozens of times. It's a spot I like and it's also easy access from my office in Harrisburg.
I heard the HH11 wanting to come out of the yard with GP38-2 #5179 and knowing 5178 was a high hood I had hoped the same for the #5179.
Well no such luck as I could spot that admiral cab from a mile away.
As he fired up the bright lights I ratcheted the shutter down to 1/6 and decided to grab the big and wide pan.
Why? Well if I don't make it, nothing lost. But if I do...well I've just won gold in the foamer olympics. LOL.
Thought it was time I gave my "freedom fighters" a vehicle ; )
I'm still going to keep messing with this to make it much more beat up and well used but I want to avoid it looking incomplete instead. All in all a fun build and without the MG and flag etc etc it also serves well as just a regular jeep for different kinds of scenes.
