F-1 Engine

A cluster of five engines like these provided the power for the first stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle during the Apollo-Saturn test flights, manned flights to the Moon, and the launch of the Skylab orbiting laboratory into Earth orbit.

The engines were powered for 2 1/2 minutes lifting the Saturn V to an altitude of about 41 miles and a speed of about 6000 miles per hour. Each engine weighed 15,650 pounds and developed a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds.


(7.5 MILLION total pounds of thrust! The F22 Raptor has two engines @ 35,000lbs each to give you an idea of how much power that is)
 
Here is a totally random shot I took while walking around Provincetown, MA. There is a weird sense of motion created by the leaning bike and the three figures in the center. as though the floor was actually spinning. Don't you agree.

Here is another one I think you might enjoy: castle ruins in Bodzentyn, Poland. Taken with the same gear as the one I posted above.

I also dig the look of the peoples faces in the middle..... Nice shot and I agree, the shot does feel like it is spinning...
 
Wow. Its pretty rare that I'll post, but I felt that I had to tell you (digitalfrog) how freaking cool that shot is. Likewise with many of the shots on your site. Great, great job.

Edit: The only nagging thing that I notice is that it seems canted a couple of degrees to the right. I think it looks like that to me because the area where the horizon hits the border is slightly higher on the left than on the opposite side.
 
thanks.

I actually was really scared when I shot this. I was half hanging over the edge and had a couple of friends holding my legs so I would not fall ;-)
