Did some assisting a few weeks back at Studio Seventeen in Belham with the talented Claire Harrison:

Was a lot of fun.
This shows where the elastic passes through from the back, pull it till the knot meets the cap then trim off some of the ends with nail clippers.

This shot was taken in Boston, USA. I just loved the unlikely pairing and the cranky look on the face of the Boston terrier. They were waiting for their owner who was in the cafe.
The Sunday morning mass ascension. But unfortunately high winds at higher attitudes prevented the balloons taking off. The pilots graciously did gold coin tethered flights with the donations going to the local Lions Clubs.

My Tumblr blog, SINOPHILE, features photo series and images from my China portfolio......
A new self portrait with the beard.
Nikon D5000, tethered using my laptop and Darktable.
Nikon SB24 bounded against ceiling.
Darktable, although it’s good software, used too much memory on my old-ass laptop to really take these tethered pictures quickly. As a solution, I wrote a script that I could add to my keyboard as a hotkey and now I can take a picture with just a push of a keyboard button. You need gphoto2 to make it work, naturally, and eog is Eye of Gnome which comes with Ubuntu as the default image viewer. Copy this into an empty document, switch your user name for mine, save it as tethered.sh (or whatever.sh), set it as executable and it should work.

The balloon looks to float away but for the tether limiting its range.

Endlich habe ich es mal geschafft das Programm DimageControl auszuprobieren.
Da hat vor Jahren sich jemand die Arbeit gemacht, die kostenpflichtige Originalsoftware DiMAGE Capture von Konica Minolta mit Hilfe des SDK von Minolta nachzuprogrammieren.
Die Software samt Treiber für die Dimage A2 und auch die A1 kann man hier herunter laden: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1024&message=19917100
Was kann man damit machen? Die Kamera wird per USB an den Computer angeschlossen und dann ist im Prinzip vollständige Fernsteuerung der Kamera möglich: Livepreview, Einstellung von Blende etc., Fokussieren mit Mausklick auf den entsprechenden Bildbereich, Intervallaufnahmen etc. Die Fotos werden direkt in einem Ordner abgespeichert. Sehr schön!
Kurzum eine sehr nette Spielerei, auch wenn wohl niemand mehr eine Dimage A2 im Studio einsetzen wird ;-)
