Referred to in the industry as a ‘camera sled’, Seirios is directly tethered to the Okeanos Explorer by a six mile-long steel cable. It serves to illuminate D2 from above, provide ROV pilots with a wide-angle view of the bottom, and absorb the heaving motions of the ship at the surface so that D2 can safely traverse over sometimes treacherous terrain miles below.

I was out this afternoon for with my wife, we had just been for lunch and decided to walk it off. It was snowing yesterday and it has been freezing all week but it warmed up today and there was barges moored all down the canal. I decided to retro-tone this image to give it more depth, hope you all have a great week

These wonderful devices that make us so much more productive can at times feel like a "ball & chain". I've been known to try and find vacation spots without coverage:) Thankfully, they do have an on/off switch.
The week is over, the sun is supposed to come out tomorrow. Hopefully there will be time to take a few photos:)
We released balloons in Jamie's memory yesterday- seemed as if they might go up into the trees behind us, but when we released them, they immediately took off in the opposite direction and headed across the river as fast as could go! :)
Description: 'Photograph (Cinematograph Film) entitled 'With Captain Scott [Royal Navy] to the South Pole (British Antarctic Expedition)'. 'Tethered ponies' by Herbert Ponting (1870-1935).
Date: c.1911
Our Catalogue Reference: COPY 1/562/68
This image shows a single frame from the very short (3-4 frame) sections of nitrate film stock accessioned at The National Archives from Herbert Ponting's footage of the Antarctic. For preservation reasons copies were made of of the original nitrate negatives and these were used to produce modern black and white Kodak prints of the clips which we have scanned for the web. The quality of the resultant images is variable.
Feel free to share it within the spirit of the Commons.

Yes yes, this is my desk.
Just cleaned my sensor and ALL my lenses (well I pretty much only got three plus my 50mm), what a great way to spend a friday night haha!
Was trying out shooting tethered through DSLR Remote Pro and then making Lightroom Auto import the images into its library for the first time...
Quite a good workflow and i´m looking forward to trying it in the studio
Hooray :o)

In Fuping County, China, the average dairy goat farmer has fewer than 10 does. The goats are usually tethered in front of the farmstead and fed corn fodder. They are milked by hand.
There are many aspects to creating a successful piece of work. It's not just the image, it's the text, the layout, the order, it all adds up to making something explode or fizzle. This is my first real foray into trying to put together a series, a story if you will, of this kind.
Ben Mcdonnell, who own Famous Policy, also races him. Originally I was going to come at this with a fashion bent, but after a couple minutes of shooting I realized the true story lay in the connection between these two animals. The best photos were caught when neither of them were paying any attention to me. In those moments, it was like I was peering in on a couples private conversation. The stories, the experiences, the hardships…experienced between these two… it was fun to try and capture.

Xtremliner tether car built by Marshall Ziegert of California.
is one of the best know tether car racers and builder in the hobby and holds many tether car
records. His work is remarkable! This car is powered by a K&B .45. Some of the features of t
racer are: special machined racing wheel/tires, polished cast aluminum body, machined fuel
fuel shut-off mechanism, shock absorbed front end, special motor mount with axle bearings
rechargeable nicad battery with holder, and stainless steel tail skid & tether arm. Care measu

I hate to to see wild birds tethered like this, but it did give
me the opportunity to snap this beautiful Kestrel.
The World’s Only Aerobatic Formation Wingwalking Team
Since 1984, UK based, AeroSuperBatics Ltd have been operators of famous airshow teams including the Crunchie Flying Circus, The Utterly Butterly’s, Guinot Wingwalkers and the Breitling Wingwalkers. With breath-taking performances showing throughout Europe, Middle East, China, Japan, India, Australia and the Philippines.
We are Guinness World Record holders and have featured in numerous TV shows wingwalking with world renowned athletes and celebrities.
Our unique and exhilarating public wingwalking experiences, corporate and charity events take place from the home of the AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers’, in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
History of Wingwalking
Simply getting airborne at the start of the 20th century was an achievement, but getting back down to earth without ending up in a pile of broken wood and linen was an even greater one. Plenty of intrepid aviators met their end in homemade machines that managed one take off and no successful landings. Spectators in their thousands would turn up at the early airfields to watch young aviation pioneers pushing the limits of their flying machines.
Then came the Great War and with it galloping strides in aircraft development and flying skills. By the end of the war aircraft could fly higher and faster, were more reliable and their pilots more skilled. When the war was over there were hundreds of aeroplanes lying around that were no longer needed and that could be snapped up for peanuts by young daredevils who had caught the flying bug and weren’t very keen on spending the rest of their days working in an office. And so the flying circus was invented.
Airshows were staged at which members of the public could take joyrides for a few shillings or dollars. There were displays of terrifying loops and rolls and tricks like flying upside down. Naturally, the more outrageous and dangerous the stunt, the more the crowd en
joyed it, so if a young pilot wanted to make a living out of flying he had to come up with something a bit different Something that pushed the edges of the envelope a little further out.
In 1918 an American flier called Ormer Locklear came up with a stunt that was guaranteed to wow the crowds:he would climb out of the aeroplane and walk along the wing and even climb from one aeroplane onto to another. Apparently Locklear first clambered out of the cockpit to fix a technical problem while training during the war.
A normal person would have landed and then sorted out the problem. Pretty soon you couldn’t operate a flying circus that didn’t have a wing walking act and Locklear was soon joined by numerous other daredevils including the wonderfully named Ethal Dare, the world’s first female wing walk who like Locklear would walk from plane to plane.
Not surprisingly there were a few mishaps. Ormer himself came a cropper while working on a film. These wing walk pioneers were operating without a safety net: no parachutes, no safety wires tethering them to the aircraft. A slip of the foot and it was the high dive for our brave showman or showgirl. In 1938 the authorities in America decided that parachutes had to be worn though by that time war was on its way and the show was about to close anyway.
lying changed after the war. There were new goals like breaking the sound barrier, space exploration and the development of quiet, fast and comfortable airliners so that we could all go on foreign holidays relatively cheaply. In other words we’d got used to flying and some of the magic had gone out of it. There were still airshows with amazing displays of flying skills and some truly incredible modern jet fighter aircraft shattering greenhouse windows on high-speed fly pasts. But a little bit of the between-the-wars glamour had gone out of it.
But those barnstorming days of the ’20s and 30s and the characters who manned the flying circuses hadn’t been forgotten by those with a deep love of flying and a passion for its history. A few wing walking teams operated in America in the 1970s but it wasn’t until frustrated barnstormer Vic Norman founded his famous AeroSuperBatics wing walking team in the early 1980s that the sight of dare devils handstanding and flying upside down on the wing was seen in Europe.
Yes, the wing walkers are safely tethered to their Boeing Stearman biplanes, but the glamour, spectacle, sounds and atmosphere is just the same as it was when young and brave Ormer Locklear went for a dramatic 10ft stroll along the wing of his warplane in 1918.
Illegally off-leash at Roland Moore Park ... if she weren't tethered to Pip I'm sure Layla would have run off to find something stinky to roll in ... thankfully Pip is stronger than her and has a really reliable recall
