I realized at the airport that I forgot to bring my phone charger. I had put it in a bag - but I changed the choice of bag last minute. On the flight, I had a window seat, and I didn't have my camera on me. All I had was my phone..and as they say, the best camera is the one that is with you.
Quietly handing out flyers for i Bugiardini's show "Shhh – An Improvised Silent Movie" Needless to say we didn't go.
2 second exposure using a hat as a tripod and the self timer to fire the shutter...
Oswestry Photographic Society evening shoot.
Very basic, just a stock-shaped chunk of wood and i piece of pipe held together by metal bands. can be made very easily in any garage with limited tools, and can be made to fire literally any ammunition provided you have the right size pipes. The orange thing is a piece of elastic and the thing its attached to is the hammer, to fire the weapon, pull the hammer back with your thumb and release, this will slam into the nail sticking out the back of the breech and hit the primer firing the round.
Along with a smoothbore barrel and a reload time of more than a minute,This weapon is probably unsafe to fire
Two cd's glued together with some velcro'ed textile band.
I came up with a very improvised but also a very quick and easy Quadra headcover.
Made with stuff most people will have laying around.
I glued two CD's together with two strips of fabric in between. The fabric has Velcro on one side
( I actually used the fasteners that came with the PLM's)
I already had velcro on the Quadra reflector, I use that to attach gels.
This boy was playing baseball with his friend. The bat was a stick and the ball was a stone. I thought they symbolized the make-do and mend spirit of the Cuban people.
An improvised Irish flag formed by a bottle of apple martini mix and a bottle of mango martini mix photographed against the white tile splashboards in my kitchen.
I wanted to see if the small wobble was the tire or the rim, but I don't have a truing stand.
I borrowed this idea from somewhere in the bike touring community, and it happens to work pretty well.
It turns out the wobble is a little bit the rim -- it was "close enough to true," but I wanted to be a bit more precise -- and a little bit of the tire.
This tire and rim combination is a breeze to mount, never leaks air and overall is pretty good. The problem lies in removing the tire, which is not as easy. If I partially remove the tire, maybe I can reposition it to get the wobble out. I don't know, I think I may be too picky and may just let this go.
And I removed the Salsa Wanderlust rack after I shot the photo.
Improvised fish hooks using a small safety pin and a inner strand of paracord. The gouge was made out of walnut and a inner strand of paracord.
This is a scan of a poor photo that I shot sometime in the early 2000's, near Muleshoe, Texas.
What we are looking at here is a large number of former Santa Fe covered hopper cars that have been raised on stilts and improvised into some sort of storage silos. It looks like a combination of various ACF Centerflows and PS-2s.
