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.
Remote and isolated St Lawrence church at Rushton Spencer, Staffordshire.
Sometimes called the "chapel in the wilderness".

You're quite right! I could have shot in RAW, or carried a "real" camera. Either or both would have shown this scene to be better than you see here. I have my reasons. One, I've driven a long way to get here. Two, some of this terrain will be knew to me. Three, I'm trying to travel light; once fast and light, now just light because I'm no longer fast. Four, and last of all, I'm here to discover and explore in the absence of deep knowledge of what there'll be to photograph.
My device is my camera and my GPS navigation device. I've plotted a path from one known landmark to one not yet visited. I'll follow what on satellite photos is an evident firetrail. I'm disinclined to bush bash much these days.
Buried in the noise and to the left there's a rabbit wire and star picket fence. That's aligned on the border with NSW. There's a hint to how remote is this spot. That sinuous track says "follow me".
The glorious silence of the mountains is disturbed by a low hum; sounding like machinery working. Tracks in the soft ground are not what I'd have preferred. It's hard to see. Half way towards the hill there's a roadworks sign — tipped over and token on this side of a locked gate. I haven't driven this far for a change of plans; so off we go!
Half way up a Caterpillar 434 backhoe loader came rocketing down the hill. The operator stopped, mumbled something without turning off his clattering diesel; then drove off. I didn't understand a word of it. Coming a little further behind him was a Mack tipper. They are, it seems doing some firetrail maintenance — that's no bad thing unless it's facilitating access to this remote valley by the red-neck cross-border mob; a likely prospect. The driver just waved. I wouldn't have even scratched the chrome, and with that backhoe handy, who would ever know?
Taking my cue from the track; I followed it!
Macro Monday Group This weeks theme: "The Colour Blue"
112 Pictures in 2012, # 26 Narrow Depth of Field
You would think this would have been an easy subject and looking at this image you might think I grabbed the first thing with blue, but wrong! I must have photographed dozens of blue things from around the house and they all looked totally naff, not that I'm saying this is any good, but it's the best of the bunch, and there comes a point where you just have say enough is enough and move on!
Have a happy Macro Monday :))))
Ex GWR Manor Class No. 7812, ‘Erlstoke Manor’, arrives at Bronwydd Arms station on the former Carmarthen - Abergavenny line, now the Gwilly Railway.
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:

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.

What must be the remotest of all major UK operators, Stagecoach Highlands operation spreads from Fort William in the South right up to John O Groats and beyond to the Orkneys, The Western Extreme is the Isle of Skye, where 27586 SN06BSU is captured in the town square of Portree, the main town, A basic Bus Station, which lacks any form of shelter for intending passengers. 27586 had been new to the Rapson Group before purchase by Stagecoach, one of the few AD300 with this style of bodywork.
Just because you spend the day working from home doesn't mean you have to ditch the office wear. Just trying to look my best!
I’m pretty good about remembering all my tech gear when I leave the house: iPad, two phones, ipod, MiFi, camera (with memory card and charged battery), and remote.
But I still slip up on occasion. Today: no camera remote.

My remote-less strategy is to place my purse where I plan to pose, focus the camera on the purse, lock the focus (putting the lens on manual), set the timer, and dash! This process was made even lengthier today by challenging light conditions. These pictures are in the fourth location I tried. After all that dashing, I was a little disheveled.
The one of many remote Russian places where people don't live but survive. Despite all these places have their own beauty and charm.
Welcome to the rugged, remote Silver Creek canyon. Travel to the end of the road to explore waterfalls plunging into deep blue-green pools. Wander along the creek or bring a picnic lunch to enjoy the sounds of nature and the solitude surrounding you. There are no picnic tables or amenities in this area. Please respect the land and others, by leaving no trace that you have been there!
Know Before You Go:
•Use caution when exploring along the creek-there are rock outcrops, slippery rocks and cold, sometimes swift, water;
•Access is along remote forest road system, that is not accessible in winter;
•Be aware of and respect that there are mining claims in the area;
•Pack it in Pack it out-no garbage or toilet facility; and
•The area at the end of the road is closed to shooting.
Point of Interest:
Dispersed camping, day use, swimming, fishing. The North Fork Silver Creek contains fall chinook salmon, winter steelhead, rainbow, and cutthroat trout. There is evidence of past wildfires in the area, including 2002’s Biscuit Fire.
Location:
Travel west from Merlin, Oregon along the Merlin-Galice Road. Turn onto the Galice-Hellgate Back Country Byway (Galice Access Road/Bear Camp Road) and continue for approximately eight miles to the North Fork Silver Creek Road (road 35-9-1).

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.

Linking Fischertechnic and Lego.
With FT I use the TXT controller, with Lego I use the Maindstorms inventor hub and the Techinc hub. To make them work together I use 2 Lego remote controllers. On each remote control there are 4 servos. This controls 4 buttons, the 3 remaining buttons can be operated manually. The servos are controlled by the TXT controller. The RoboPro program on the PC is used for this purpose. The servos themselves are controlled by my DE0 module but this can also be done with an I2C module on the TXT. All hubs use the Pybricks Python software: v3.2.0b4 Pybricks Beta v2.0.0-beta.9
There are 2 Pybricks programs running simultaneously, each controlling a different type of hub.
It is now easy to send commands from the TXT to both hubs. This can be done simultaneously or separately. The big problem with Lego hubs is that they have almost no inputs. Thus, we lack the nice 8 channel digital inputs that are present with the TXT. Through my DEO module, I even have 120 digital inputs. Via the servo controlled remote I can now at least send multiple commands to the Lego modules. The large PC screen where the program can be displayed is also indispensable.
Now to send commands from the Lego hubs to the TXT are a number of possibilities. I use a lot of hall sensors. Small magnets connected to Lego parts can send commands this way quickly and easily. I can also listen in on multiple serial lines from the hubs. That data can be used by the TXT. Thus, positions of the motors can be displayed, as well as other data from the hub. The TXT can display this data on the PC screen.
Pybricks does not have a hub to hub at this time. Now, however, commands can be sent from one hub to the TXT which then forwards them to the 2nd hub.

It was £15. I would have taken their arm off at that but I did wonder what the hell I would have done with it.
Had I seen this in 2015 or something I would have probably bought it.
I have some non-RC Darts the same but with 2 doors, which are in fictional London liveries. I've got some photos of them somewhere on my photo stream.
