You have “technicals!” the size of grapefruits!!! They offer two tours at night, 10pm-2am…10pm-7am.
But it don’t have to be at night to make contact. I did not capture this lost soul
@GamecockOperator
oh man thats awesome photograph. i think i’d dig the first one, unless someone provided me with an electric chair buggy thing to ride out the full night.. hell id probably need the other buggy thing too for the other tour thing.
real photography is sooo much coooler than digital sometimes.
Captured by a Android phone is all l know…Ap maybe?
Oh yes. When people ask me how I am, I sometimes say, “live, and in color.”. They have no idea what I’m talking about.
Some of the old box cameras could do this. I think we had an old Kodak roll film camera on which the shutter cocking was separate from the film winder. You could reset the shutter and take another photo over the first one. I think the camera used 616 roll film? I sitll have the Rolleiflex that uses 120 roll film.
Not as good as you but i’ll make it.
I have an old Kodak Brownie ’ Box’ camera. I did find a couple of rolls of old original film and took pics on it. I think you can use 120 roll film and put a wooden thread spool in with it to fill up space, original film was much wider. It will come out half frame like a panorama format.
This was just too cool NOT to share… Adam Savage of Mythbusters and Peter Jackson team up to recreate a WWI dogfight.
that was pretty dang cool. man that would be a rush.
Oh, yeah. Those WWI “kites”, even beefed up with modern re-engineering, you’re taking your life in your hands just strapping into one, and that’s without even having the engine started yet. Most of them there’s no cockpit room for a parachute and the cockpits are built for dudes around 5’6" and 100-120lb. Even replacing the wooden trusses with welded steel-tubing ones and more powerful modern engines… and Adam Savage is IIRC a BIG dude even by today’s standards so they musta needed a shoehorn and enough grease to lube a freight train for him to stuff himself into the backseat of that old Harry Tate.
That was fun to watch brothers! 
Actually, a popular theory is that you should not introduce modern materials and methods because it moves the stresses around and can have unpredictable (read, catastrophic) results. Those WWI plane builders really did seem to know what they were doing. Note: I have not yet watched the video so maybe they do address that concern. Wait, mythbusters and laser tag… yes I did see this video elsewhere and it was cool. I believe Adam won the contest two kills to one, correct?
But yeah, managing the controls, navigating, pumping up the oil pressure, changing a Lewis gun drum, cleaning the castor oil off your goggles, bleeding, freezing, and keeping track of the enemy all while dodging bullets as people are shooting at you must have been quite a chore.
I do know that the SWIP A-6 Intruders that got the new composite wings were the first scrapped because they were adding MORE stress on the wing-body join due to Boeing not properly mapping the load paths and accounting for how the new wing changed them. Many went straight from the plant onto a barge to be dumped in the ocean without even a delivery flight.
Well I’m certain that Boing (sic) lost millions of dollars on that, never to be passed down to the Ignert Flyover Prole Taxpayer.
Consider this was premerger BA, and we didn’t have all the fancy computer tools for modeling loads and stresses we do now.
Definitely a black eye for the Seattle team, but far eclipsed by McDonnell taking AF money to put on beefier longerons after several F-15s broke in half but never doing the work. (They FINALLY got the stronger structures on the Strike Eagle program–but they shoulda been on every bird from Day One.)
something about a well made product that wasn’t designed to fail.
