Oh of course, you're a "Wolfsburger" after all.

Kinda lame

Either that's 'shopped or it was taken somewhere where the stars are so bright they can be captured like that at a fast shutter speed (hence the 'frozen' bubbles). Which is fairly unlikely.

^^ The stars also seem to show small signs of a trail, suggesting a longer exposure time for the top image.

^ First shot is awesome! Second shot, not "clicking" with me so much to be honest

The Cessna, N584SP, is based in Texas. A 172 can't make it across the Atlantic.

Which is why I later added "or so they said" to that post At least the first image of that post is real...

Finally stop downplaying my uber-awesome hometown bitches.

Ok, it's not THAT international, but still.

Probably one single shot, taken by covering the lower half just after the shutter release, and letting the stars "sink in" for the remaining of the exposure. Mostly done with a cloth, or sometimes even the fingers. 👍

Amazing pic, that kinda reminds me of this:

Lol if it was going to be a single shot more likely it was a water-resistant remote slave fired from behind the diver instead of fingers blocking the lower part of the lens. Just have a look at where the lighting is coming from. Its the only way that shot could have been made underwater. Short of dodging and burning in the darkroom I havn't really heard much of digits being used to alter the lighting in photography.

Yes, there's a possibility it could be real, but its an example where its much easier through the photoshop. 👍

Spooky. I've had that Hannover airport shot as my desktop pic since last year. I can't remember the artists name but he has created a number of images like this. I'll see if I can find the original link to his work.

That is too awesome Watching people doing it on youtube is no less impressive.

 

[Danny]

Holy cow!

Literally

Camouflage fail!

Camouflage fail!

It depends on their mood really, although camouflage is the secondary purpose.

1) I've seen photo opportunities like that before, just never have a camera on me. And even if I did, my camera sucks so it wouldn't matter.

2) Sadly, we'll never see that again.

3) Dubai? That place is crazy.

Boom.

You can, they still need to be moved to museums (except Atlantis - it gets a short drive to the Visitors Complex). Discovery is being flown to DC in mid April - they'll be announcing details of the event sometime next week. For people on the West Coast, Endeavour is probably going to be paraded from LAX to the California Science Center, but I'm not sure when that's happening.

That a nebula or some kind of explosion?

Man, pics of sky at night are awesome :3

 

[CodeRedR51]

Explosion of a star I believe.

They are, but you aren't exactly going to see that out of your window at 10pm.

Exactly. 2am minimum.

It said it was a dying star, which does explode.

Our sun will do that in a few years. (just a few )

In 5 billion years it will
