1963 Plymouth Valiant Signet 200, as seen street parked in my neighborhood. This car was a compact for it's day, but by comparison, look at the midsized, grey Chevrolet Malibu behind it, and at the white Toyota Corolla.

Don't like doing this. The mercury and the phosphors are not good.
So its not a good picture because I only had one try.

Here is another version of Brooks' BCKK.
Next to the BCKK other components of this rig are:
- Ricoh GR digital
- Prinzler's 433TxRx
- GentSwitches and a Gent1V5
- BW video link
- Breuer 360 servo
- Ricoh CA-1 remote cable
The customer wanted an electronic shutter release but the Ricoh has no IR-sensor nor a switchable input. But a remote control cable is an accessory. This unit has a lot of electronics inside and is powered by its own 1.5 V AAA battery.
I modified this Ricoh part by taking out its internals and have it triggered by the 433TxRx remote control through 2 electronic switches.
To get rid of the 1.5 V battery a 4.8 to 1.5 V converter was added. All these parts are in the black box that is fitted on the tilt frame behind the camera.
The client wanted to have the rig to fit in a very strong and watertight Storm Case iM2075. This required a very compact version of the BCKK and so some tricks had to come in:
- the legs were shortened by 6 cm.
- the tilt axis is moved upwards by mounting the tilt servo upside down and drilling an extra hole in the left leg of the main frame.
- this caused contact between the black box and the pan servo. This problem was solved by adding two 5 mm spacers between the main frame and the gear bracket. Now the top of this bracket is at the same level as the battery pack.
Every time I build a BCKK I'm surprised by its possiblities.

I guess like many night photographers, the idea of finding, exploring and shooting a great tunnel really appeals. This tour, organised by TfL (Transport for London), could've gone a long way to addressing that but for their insane decision to ban DSLRs from the station.
You might already have read about it, it's been trending on twitter and there's a lot of negative stories on various photography forums.
Here's the tale, with a little bit of opinion thrown in.
TfL uses the location for training and alongside that they manage to fit in some film location work. Like, it's the station that appeared in V for Vendetta and Die Another Day. Generally, though, it's closed to the public.
When the idea of tours was thrown around in the TfL office, someone obviously twigged that tours without photography would be a non-starter. The visitors on location backed that up, with every couple- and it was mostly couples- on our tour carrying at least one imaging device. At the same time, the corporate bods must've figured that with photo sharing at a high, lots of high quality images floating around the web would do harm to future tours. Why does that matter? £20/ ticket x 2500 tickets (TfL stats) makes quite a compelling argument.
So, what to do? A ban on DSLRs is the only option that's logistically possible to enforce but with very capable compact-looking cameras available like the M9 (haha) or the more realistic X100/ PEN/ GF1 units it doesn't stack up.
On location, the notices (and staff) gave little away, claiming the DSLR ban was due to "their combination of high-quality sensor and high resolution". A TfL employee I spoke to after the tour said it was due to them wanting to disallow urbexers from high quality images which could provide information about access points for illicit entry.
Subsequently, in a statement to The Verge TfL has expanded their actions saying: "there was not a ban on taking photos during tours. However, there were restrictions on professional cameras and tripods because we were concerned that people using them could delay the tours for others, as it was a very tight schedule."
Smacks of an excuse to me.
First of all DSLRs are de rigeur these days, used as an everyday imaging device by countless people. That doesn't mean that every DSLR user is an avid photographer seeking to get the cleanest possible shot at great lengths.
Discount the guys who bought a DSLR because that's what the man in the shop said they should buy and you're left with those who bought one consciously, to record great pictures. Within that group there will be users who are unable to approach a situation pragmatically; who don't see the potential in live documentary or abstraction, but these guys will be far outnumbered by those who can quickly line up their shot in the knowledge that an errant leg, arm or head can be dealt with in PP.
In the absence of owning a compact I had it in mind to take the D300 w/ 35mm f/2 and bluff 'n' blag my way through. Mother-in-law came to the rescue (how often can you say that?) with her Sony CyberShot thingy, the results from which are what you're seeing here.
Given their inferior quality, I felt compelled to upload my images in their highest resolution... also thought it might be a good time to experiment with the whole Creative Commons licensing model...
Feel free to download and share as you deem fit - know any urbexers? :)
This adapter allows me to use a IDE disk or CF card on my Sinclair +3.
I've had to install 2 new EPROMS in the machine for it to support IDE devices.
CF card is 128Mb, but as the interface in only 8 bit, only half of the cards capacity is available. Still, 64Mb is a lot of storage for a spectrum!

A simpel 300W studio flash with a softbox was placed to the right. It points slighty upward and away from the background. The distance to the hand is minimal (less then a feet). The flash was triggered with an on-camera 430 EX that was equipped with a cardboard snoot. The directed light from the Speedlite created a nice diffuse reflection on the charcoal-colored plastic background. Skin tone corrections and dust cleanup were made in PS CS3.
Rechts vom Bild ist ein Studioblitz mit Softbox (300W, maximale Leistung). Dieser leuchtet leicht in Richtung Kamera nach oben, damit der Hinter- und Untergrund in Dunkelheit und Unschärfe versinkt. Hier fiel es mir schwer einen Kompromiss aus störendem Streulicht und richtiger Lichtgestaltung zu finden. Als Hintergrund hab ich eine ca. 50x50cm große und dunkle Kunststoffplatte verwendet. Den Studioblitz habe ich über einen Speedlite 430 EX mit einem Karton-Snoot auf der Kamera ausgelöst. Am Ende standen dann noch Farbkorrekturen (Hauttöne), Tonwertanpassungen und das Entfernen von Staub und Kratzern in PS CS3.
Compact heat pumps based on engineered microsystems could be developed for portable and building applications. Components that could be miniaturized include a heat-actuated compressor and microchannel heat exchangers.
