Put On A Happy Face

Fuji X30 – 1/320 @ f/5.6 – ISO

This is a 1959 Austin-Healy “Bug Eyed” Sprite and I just adore these tiny British sports cars.  This particular one is a “daily driver” so the owner is not just looking at it he is also enjoying driving it. The actual color of this car is BRG – British Racing Green.

Welcome To My Nightmare

Nightmare

Nikon Coolpix A – 1/2000 @ f/5.6 – ISO 100

With the freezing temperatures on Long Island I haven’t really been out taking many photographs lately.  Today I decided to go out with my Nikon Coolpix A so I could keep it in my jacket pocket along with my hands and just grab an image here and there. The title came from an old Alice Cooper tune that was popular in my teen years.

Business End

Gattling

Fuji X-T1 and XF 35mm f/2.0 WR R Lens – 1/30 @ f/2.8 – ISO 800

This is the business end of a 30mm Rotary Cannon on a Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog Anti-Tank aircraft. This canon is designed to fire a maximum of 3900 rounds per minute with 50 rounds per second (for the first second until the rotary canon comes up to speed) and up to 70 rounds per second thereafter.

If I was on the ground and needed help there would be no doubt with “who you gonna call”

Here is a link to this amazing aircraft – A-10 Thunderbolt II
