One of those moments I felt like an out of the blue edit, the motive behind which was to create something for a friend. I've tried to bring in several emotions into one picture and to me, there's a lot of meaning to all those elements present. Though I'm gonna leave it open to interpretation and let you folk conjure up a meaning to it all. Hope you love it
This was another picture that looked good on the PS3 but just looked awful on my PC. But after an hour or so this is the result. I've gotten pretty fast with these sunshine shots and it turned out no better than my usual efforts!
December 14, 1972 marked the end of the sixth and final moon landings, closing an era in moon exploration. For it was on this date that the ascent stage of the Lunar Excursion Module and its Apollo 17 crew left the moon and with it the last humans to visit the moon. These men were Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt while Ronald E. Evans remained in orbit above in the Apollo command module. Here, we have the lunar roving vehicle (LRV) as the protagonist in an iconic historical moment. Recording the launch of the ascent module via remote control from NASA back in Houston, TX. The LRV was used in the 2 previous Apollo moon missions but the launch recordings were not very successful, until Apollo 17. A tricky feat, due to the great distances and communications delays between the earth and moon. Camera operator Ed Fendell had to tilt and zoom the device ahead of the launch, blindly and hope for the best.
...and just like that, the race was over. If you didn't get a chance to see the final episode of the 2013 GT Academy Championship, well, here is your chance. Just in case, SPOILER ALERT, watch the video. It was an almost certainty Christopher Hill, car 33, was going to get the win, he dominated the whole race. Outback, Nick McMillen in car 28, had a lousy start and dropped to 3rd. He eventually persevered, quickly reached 2nd and gaining steadily on Chris. Although, Nick was slightly faster than Chris, it would be another thing to pass him in the last lap. Only thing to do is to keep on the pressure, wait for a mistake and have the win come to him…and then it happened.
