I always thought life would be easier if I cloned my self, but, as it turns out, my clones are just annoying ;)
------------------------------------------------------------
This was my first serious attempt at cloning. I must say, lighting is a pain in the ass, but it was fun. ..hope you like.
Has anyone tried photographing one of these remote control vehicles. I am not sure of the speed they get up to, but I think I have whiplash.
My TV remote has a home button. I want to have a home sweet home button, which transport me to my home instantly, on my cell phone.
2013:01 "Our Home"
A tent is home whenever I find myself in a remote place. This image of our High Camp on Lobuche was taken at roughly 5100 meters the evening before our summit climb.
Moving on to a moving subject. Albeit one that doesn't move very fast, I tried some shots of the remote job working the west end of Global 3. Not terribly exciting but they look good and sound good while waiting for something else to develop. You can't take anything for granted in this PSR world and after hearing rumors of UP closing Global 3 I was glad to find things much as they were the last time I visited a number of years ago. August 10, 2023.

This view of the Pacific Ocean in the far distance was from a forest service road in the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula; elevation here was about 5000 ft (1500 meters). The road went on from here, but it was closed for wildlife management. I was glad we had the 4X4, or we would not have even tried to get here due to the steep grades.
You can get a feel for the dense forest of mixed conifers and deciduous trees, and there is no evidence of recent logging in this vista, somewhat unusual for the Olympic Peninsula.
Thanks for stopping by -- hope my American friends had a great Superbowl Sunday. It's the fourth quarter just now, and I'm not too happy with the score.
This really pops in Lightbox -- you can see the thin band of haze above the ocean.

One of the advantages of working from home: witnessing scenes in the street that I normally don't see. Like men cleaning the underground waste containers inside and out before emptying them.

This place is atemple for me where my wife's ashes were dispersed in the foam.'
Every significant person in the last 30 years of my life have been here with me, so here, too, is a significant annual touchstone.
Moving up the siding to switch over to the first line of racks for pickup at Huron Park. Light crew on the holiday.
Today, I got a bracket to mount the remote for my Sony action cam to my gimbal. This way, I can hold everything in one hand while the other is free. So far, it seems to be a good fit. I'll have to try it in "the field" to see how practical it is. My biggest concern is the small amount of gimbal grip free to hold onto. I can adjust the angle of the remote to give me more room behind it and I can raise it up a bit more too.
This is the bracket from B&H:

A beautiful canyon creek deep in the heart of Wyoming. Remote with nobody within miles, this beautiful creek littered with fall colors on the shoreline, and cutthroat cut-throat "cutties" trout deep within. The waters fast flow cascading over the rocks creates deep channels of intoxicating hues, and vibrant lumonisity from the aerated currents.

Sporting allowed me to try an experiment (for me); I set up a camera on the field behind the net and triggered shots throughout the match wirelessly with PocketWizards. I had to prefocus, use a small aperture for depth of field, raise the ISO and hope for the best. Here is one of the shots. Nikon D4 | 24-70mm lens at 28mm | ISO 2500 | f / 13 | 1/500 second triggered wirelessly with PocketWizard Flex TT5s. Thanks, Sporting.

St Mary, East Bilney, Norfolk
This fine Victorian church sits remote from its village in the hills between Dereham and Fakenham. It was built to replace the ramshackle church that Ladbroke drew here in the 1820s. It is hard to perceive any part of it that survives from the medieval structure, but it was all done well and broadly on the plan of the original, including the replacement of a south transept.
Now, you might wonder if such a building has anything inside to offer the church explorer. But unable to resist temptation, you step into a bright, clean interior coloured by the flanking late 19th and early 20th century windows. The font and tower arch survive from the earlier building, and I wondered if the lower part of the chancel arch was medieval too. Whatever, the interior is all very harmonious, and very well done. Much of the glass is rather serious in that turn of the century manner, culminating in the magnificent war memorial window depicting St Michael and St Alban. There are two earlier roundels, continental glass of the 17th century each set in a ring of English medieval fragments, both with intriguing inscriptions. One declares itself to be from Monasterium Leodiense Duodecim Apostolorum, the Monastery of the Twelve Apostles at Luyden.
Another figure remembered in the glass at East Bilney is Thomas Bilney. Bilney was a Catholic Priest, who would have been quite at home with much of the teaching of the modern Catholic Church. However, his doubts about some medieval practices drew the attention of Cardinal Wolsey and Henry VIII's thought police. They cautioned him, but released him to preach again because he was so articulate in his arguments against Lutheranism and the protestant reformers. Eventually, as battle-lines hardened, he was arrested under the authority of the Bishop of Norwich, and burned at the stake as a heretic.
It would have taken a lawyer with a fine eye for the small print to find Bilney guilty of heresy, but what was more to the point was that the Bishop of Norwich had acted without authorisation from above. In turn, he was arrested, and he forfeited his possessions as a punishment for his treatment of Bilney. This, of course, could not bring Thomas Bilney back. His influence over his pupils at Cambridge University meant that there were articulate and ardent advocates of his cause, among them the increasingly protestant Hugh Latimer. In martyring Bilney, the Church authorities set in motion a chain of events that would lead directly to the horrific conflicts of the middle years of the 16th century, and several centuries of sectarian prejudice and conflict.
A window in the chancel shows Bilney in two scenes, firstly preaching, and then in chains outside Norwich cathedral awaiting his execution. I must say that he looks remarkably cheerful under the circumstances. A panel of glass positioned in a wooden frame beside the chancel arch is a copy of a medieval panel at Dunston depicting St Nicomedes. It is probably intended to portray Bilney in a rather different manner, as a pious saint, which he certainly was.
The bunkhouse has electricity. Unusual for such a remote cabin. It powers the cook stove, refrigerator and lights. A wood stove provides the heat.

Our black TV remote, with far too many buttons on it. I only use the on/off power button to turn the TV off after it's been left on. Either Marty or Michael take charge of the controls when we are watching, to skip ads as we only watch recorded stuff and never live TV ... the ads are too frustrating to sit through.
