Two days ago we moved from a big quiet 4br house way out on Long Island into a tiny 1br apartment closer to NYC for a few months. Doesn't sound like much fun, but on the plus side there are some *pretty* decent views, which are even better from the roof of the place. So I went up there tonight and took some shots of the Empire State, the skyline, the Queensboro bridge, the subway, the traffic, and of course the trains. Mike Johannessen showed me his panning setup a year or two ago and although I don't have the gear, I thought I'd steal the idea on a few trains coming out of the East River tunnels and heading out onto Long Island or to Sunnyside for turning and stabling. Result: a few wobbly, dark, bad pics. Then this guy showed up - maybe he was transitioning from third rail to onboard diesel power because his pickup shoe made a big flash before he came slowly into view. Then he flashed just as I pushed the shutter which lit up the dark loco and everything - wow - did I get that? I like taking remote flash pictures, but this was the remotest one ever. Handheld 1 sec at f 3.2 ISO 160 200mm if you're taking notes!
Sometimes the stupidest possible thing works. We have to carry arround these lame RSA tokens to get into the corporate VPN, but like every tech person in SF, I'm already carrying my iPhone with me.
I tried to take this one step further and OCR the digits with various linux CLI tools because that would mean I could simply curl the required digits from a webpage and pipe them into the SSH login script, but it kept getting confused on certain numbers. I suppose one way to go about it is to sample the pixels for dark grey vs. light grey at each of the 7 points of LCD and then make a lookup table for each of the digits, but that's about when I started getting bored with the whole project.

I used the cable of an old broken mouse as the remote control cable. It's a bit ticker than needed but it was free. :D
This is a home made remote for my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI. The black button sets the focus and exposure, the red button fires the shutter and the toggle works the shutter in bulb mode. It seems there are still uses for film canisters even in the digital age.
Never fails.... Tied Score... 5 seconds left on the shot clock, and..... "Cartoon Network" - Aughhhh!!
After peeling off the cover, this is what the generic remote I'm using looks like. There's a lot more buttons than are implemented.
The guts of the remote to a Garmin GPS, which suddenly stopped working. New batteries were of no help, and it didn't seem worth pestering their support department when I have a perfectly good screwdriver.
The button contacts are on the other face. Notable here are the backlight LEDs mounted active face down in holes in the board, the IR transmitter at the left end, and the contacts to the battery compartment visible just to the left of the only chip on the board.

Phaser from Star Trek TOS. Base replica from Wand Co.. Improvements include emitter nozzle and casting of grip from a Master Replicas phaser (more accurate than Wand's). "Tenturn" power setting knob replaced with modern metal DigiKey tenturn with silkscreened markings. More accurate "extra crispy" on phaser one sight plate masks the sound holes. Accurate power meter label added. repainted to more closely resemble how the props appear on television. Black and White phaser made to look like the props used in the first eight episodes of the series.
1966 license plate with a dark blue band on the right denotes this plate as being used in the remote areas of the Northwest Territories with no road access out of the territory. Examples would be in the far northern communities where it would impossible to commute to roads which would access vehicles to the provinces of Canada..

Had my camera sitting down on the headboard, testing my remote I had bought minutes earlier for an exiting project Im working on.
I usually get carried away with editing if its not for a client. I love extremely blownout images.
And so we come to the first of the Kent churches visited this month. Well, not quite true, as the very first church I tried to enter, St Mildred's in Preston, was locked fast as usual. Being the heritage weekend as well as ride and stride, and being on the latter list, one really hoped that the church would have made an effort, it being so remote and all.
But, they put a trestle table out, placed a rock on top of the check in sheet to stop it blowing away, and left the church for the day, despite arrangements having been made by another church the day before for it to be open.
This really is not good enough.
Anyway, St Mildred's was the first of three that were locked, but I managed to gain entry to seven previously closed churches to me. So, on the whole, I was pleased.
St Nicholas is a large and imposing church, with a huge churchyard, showing that it is one of the larger and better populated parishes in the area of east Kent.
There was a warden sitting at the table in the large doorway, and after a warm welcome we entered inside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The present parish of Ash, more than 7,000 acres in extent and one of the largest in Kent, was once only a part of the great manor of Wingham. Originally a royal manor, Wingham was given by King Athelstan of Kent to the See of Canterbury about 850 : it covered the present parishes of Ash, Goodnestone, Nonington, Wingham and parts of Staple and Womenswold.
In a list of churches probably made in 1071, in which 'Aesce' is said to belong to Wingham, mention is also made of an apparently more important church 'de Raette', as well as one at 'Fleota' belonging to the manor of Folkestone. If, as seems likely, 'de Raette' refers to Richborough, this is the only record of that church; but the chapel of Fleet, actually within the 3rd century Roman walls of Richborough Castle, continued in use until the 16th century. Leland in the time of Henry VIII wrote that 'withyn the castel is a lytle paroche Chirch of S. Augustine'.
It was believed that when St. Augustine first stepped ashore in England in 597 the impression of his foot was miraculously left upon a stone. This relic was afterwards kept in this chapel dedicated to him, and pilgrims flocked there upon the anniversary of the landing to pray and to recover their health. Excavations have uncovered the ground plan of the chapel, and confirm that it was pre-Norman in origin. Excavations in the northwest comer of the Roman fort have also, revealed the foundations and font of an even earlier church of c.400, one of the earliest Christian structures known in Britain.
By the 13th century there was another chapel in the northwest of the parish, at Overland, where complaint was made in 1294 that 'there used to be a baptistery and seven years ago it was taken away and is at Esse'. Edward Hasted, writing about 1790, said that the chapel had been 'for some time in ruins ... having been desecrated about the beginning of this century'. Its exact site has now been lost : some carved stonework which may come from it is at Knell; a few more pieces are in the church.
In 1282 Ash became a separate parish. In the deed founding a College of Canons at Wingham and dividing that parish into four, Archbishop Peckham explained, 'We have turned our eyes to the church of Wingham as it were to a fruitful vineyard..... which cannot be easily cultivated by the labours of one husbandman... from the great extent of the parish as well as its numerous population'. He assigned to Wingham parish church the chapel of Overland; to Ash he gave the chapel of Fleet. It was the duty of the canons of Wingham College, to whom the tithes of Ash were paid, to provide a vicar. In 1535 the parishioners of Ash complained: 'There has always been a vicar here to serve the cure till for the last 22 years the said Canons have usurped the vicarage to their own use ... within a quarter of a year we have had seven curates, which has caused much strife as we are 500 residents.'
In 1547 Wingham College was suppressed by Henry VIII, and its possessions forfeited to the Crown. In 1549, "the late chapel called Richborough Chapel in Ash Parish with its burial ground, buildings, lead, glass, iron, stones and tiles except the bells and leaden roof", and "the late Chapel of Overland in Ash parish next Sandwich in width 22 feet in length 34 feet, with its burial ground of half a rod, buildings, etc.", were both sold to William Hyde and Hugh Cartwright.
The right of presentation to the benefice of Ash was granted by Queen Mary to the Archbishop in 1558, and three years later Queen Elizabeth I gave the rectory - the right to the great tithes - to the See of Canterbury. The Archbishop is still the patron of the living today.
In the 19th century the need again arose for chapels in the more distant parts of the parish. In 1842 Holy Trinity Church at Ware was built, and Westmarsh was formed into a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1849. The corrugated-iron mission room of St. Augustine's, Richborough, was opened in 1888. It was followed in 1892 by a similar room at Goldstone, rebuilt in 1904. But by the 1960s the motor car had made these separate buildings less necessary. In 1967 the parish of Westmarsh was re-united with Ash; St. Augustine's, Richborough, was closed in 1969, and Holy Trinity Church in 1970.
An unusual feature of the church is the south chancel, whose axis is out of alignment with the nave. It was once supposed that this architectural oddity represented the inclined head of Christ on the Cross, but a structural fault caused by rebuilding and restoration is a more likely explanation.
(Bygone Kent, 1985, Michael David Mirams.)
In recent years the Parish of Ash with Westmarsh has been linked to the parish churches at Goodnestone and Chillenden through a united benefice. Further pastoral reorganisation in the East Bridge Deanery means that a new canonry benefice is to be formed of the parishes of Ash, Chillenden, Elmstone, Goodnestone, Preston and Wingham. This is expected to be undertaken between 2012 and 2014.

A bit of a story behind this. I stopped in to Dodd Camera's downtown store, at E. 30th and Carnegie, to buy a camera battery. I figured I could just drive south on E. 30th and get on I-77. Nope. No left turn from E. 30th to the ramp. Followed signs to I-77, along run-down streets above the steel mills, and got to an entrance -- two days after it closed for 16 months. So there I was, lost, above the steel mills. Shucks. Of course, I drove down for a visit. As I was following Independence Road along the edge of this little yard, I saw a crewman walking next to a train. I quickly drove ahead and found a spot to jump out and grab a couple of shots. I didn't notice until I edited this how much the crew was enjoying the fresh air.
