Imagine if Game of Thrones happened in 2026 😭
The Starks wear designer. The Lannisters run billion-dollar empires. And Joffrey still somehow gets exactly what he wants… now in a Lamborghini.
I took 1.7 million photos over 6 days to catch this photo of a commercial jet in front of the sun.
The moment it happened, TWO floating prominences were visible, making this not just my best aircraft transit photo, but one of the luckiest of my career! Videos of the transit 👇
A rare moment where passengers got the show of a lifetime yesterday, catching the Artemis II launch right from their window seats. Absolutely amazing!! 🚀✨
This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.
The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.
There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.
That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.

De la misma manera que una mujer en el Ejecutivo no ha hecho la diferencia favorable para el país, el que una persona indígena presida el Judicial no garantiza nada excepto para la continuidad de un régimen que no hacho más que fracasar y fracasar y fracasar.
El prestigioso medio de comunicación The Economist: “México está a punto de convertirse en el único país que elige a todos sus jueces por voto popular. Esto es una pésima idea para la justicia, la democracia y la economía.”
The world’s most powerful commercial jet engine is getting ready for take-off. After thousands of hours of rigorous testing, the #GE9X is expected to enter service next year under the wings of Boeing’s new 777-9, aka the world’s largest twin-engine passenger jet.
