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.
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.

It's 4 days before the official end of the DMIR and life finds me at Iron Junction for the first time.
This was long before I put any effort into railroad photography. I was an armchair railfan at this point, but I had acquired a $300 digital camera (a princely sum at the time, I might add) and was living on the Canadian border. I think it was a job interview that brought me to Eveleth, and with some time to kill I decided to go find this mythical place called Iron Junction. I had read about it and seen photos taken there on the interwebs and perhaps, even in a magazine.
As you can see my hunt was successful, as far as finding the location. The photography, not so much. But it did mean I shot maroon paint prior to the commencement of the assimilation.
If it matters, I think this was a Minntac load bound for Two Harbors with a tunnel motor and a pair of SD-M's for power. With the exception of the cars, which seem to be ageless, it is pretty much all gone now. There is still a maroon tunnel motor around but with no straight air it will never get this work again, and the M's have all moved on.
It's a photo that I am extremely thankful to have had the opportunity to shoot, even if it's not much from a technical standpoint. It makes me think of how excited I was at the time. It reminds me of why I put effort into railroad photography.

Ein Meßinstrument zur Bestimmung der Dauer des Sonnenscheins pro Tag. Eine geschliffene Glaskugel bündelt die Sonnenstrahlen zu einem Brennpunkt, der in die Registrierstreifen eine Spur einbrennt. Die Länge einer solchen Brennspur entspricht der Sonnenscheindauer.
So after watching District 9 a couple days back, I was pretty inspired to build one of the MNU technical trucks as seen in the film. After a bit of a rough start, a couple WIPs that didn't really go anywhere, and plenty of redesigning, I've got a version that I'm happy enough with to post!
The lack of good District 9 MOCs is quite disturbing, I can really only think of three.
So here's one for the mix, good or bad!
Has a cabin that fits four full minifigures with all their limbs, working doors/tailgate, and working rocker suspension.
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 am a very serious person...
...99.9% of the time.
I despise chickens and all chicken-related things (books, humor, art, etc.). Even the sight or mention of a chicken makes me groan inside. Then why in the world would I choose to build this?
Occasionally, when my mind is tired, not knowing what to think or even why to think, I fall into absurdity. In short, I cave. My seriousness leaves, and in its place stands incoherent gibberish. I embrace what I don't like, even if that means chickens.
So in a way, this creation represents the utter nonsense that can spout forth from a brain that really is not thinking clearly.
Speaking of that, Chicken Little is a story about some foolish young fowl who has a piece of something fall on its head (it may be an acorn, or a leaf, or a raindrop; who knows?). It goes berserk and insists that "The sky is falling!!". Thenceforth Chicken Little makes a huge fuss over it and gathers fellow animals to go warn the ruler of the area. The group meets a sly fox (what other kind of fox would there be?), who convinces the gullible animals that the way to the ruler goes right through the fox's lair. They enter the lair and the fox eats them all. (Or, if you like the other versions better, they escape and warn the ruler, but still turn out to be incorrect about the sky.)
So I think that that image of hysteria is what I've captured in this obnoxious little build. Whenever I feel like blurting out whatever my immediate reaction to my circumstances is, this chicken can remind me to always think before I speak, lest I believe the world will end and thereby fulfill my own prophecy through my own ignorance.
Don't worry, I promise that the next creations I submit will be serious in nature. This one is not a new precedent for me.
This chicken is a bauble-head; it has a technic axle as its neck that would need to be flexible if this were to become a set so that the head could wobble. The wings and tail can flap.
And yes, that is a canoe.
I've checked the manual, read the FAQs and raised a support query but, frankly, I don't think this is a known issue.
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/
Some snowy photography of the Order of Mata Nui leader. MOC was inspired by the TTV canonisation contest winner
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.
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.

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.
