This is a board made for amateur radio operators to help remote antenna control. It will communicate over isolated RS485 and control a VFD or contactor operated motor to turn an antenna towards a signal from the comfort of your radio shack.
Descend from the high wolds near the remote villages of Guiting Power and Hawling, down towards Andoversford in the valley below. If you follow the old Gloucester road, rather than the busy A40 you will approach the twin villages as travellers have for hundreds of years. A ribbon of houses that skirts the margins of an infant River Coln, the waters of which glister over two fords and through many a clear pool between clumps of yellow flags, dividing the two villages.
Shipton or 'sheep farm' was divided into two parishes in the middle ages each with it's own small church, though they are barely a mile apart. Shipton Oliffe long in the ownership of the Oliffe family grew in importance and when the two parishes were united in 1766 St. Mary's Shipton Solers fell out of use. By 1883 St. Mary's was reduced to a cow byre and only the intervention of the rector Charles Pugh and his wife saved the church for future generations.
St. Oswald, Shipton Oliffe, a small Norman church with 13th century additions, stands below the level of the road. Once owned by the Abbey of St. Peter, Gloucester the church has a 13th century west bellcote with two bells above two gothic windows inserted by H. A. Prothero in 1903-4. A blocked Norman north door gives evidence of the church's early origins while the Early English chancel has retained many of it's original features including an east window with a shafted rere-arcade. The chancel has an Early Decorated south window, a stepped sedilia and a rare Late Decorated canopied piscina. A 13th century south chapel is separated from the nave by a two-bay arcade inserted by Prothero in 1904. The church has a Perpendicular octagonal font, a pulpit by W. Ellery Anderson 1937 and a plaster 19th century Royal Arms. There is an area of wall painting above the chancel arch which may be early 13th century and other texts of the 17th and 18th centuries. The east window has stained glass by Burlison and Grylls. In the churchyard are an interesting collection of tea-caddy tombs.
St. Mary, Shipton Solers was probably consecrated in 1212 as this date was inscribed over the chancel, a discovery made during the sympathetic 1929-30 restoration by W.E. Ellery Anderson. A simple 13th century church of nave and chancel with a west bell-cote added in 1884, lengthened in the Perpendicular period. Most of the windows reflect this 15th century refurbishment although a 13th century lancet survives in the chancel. North and south doors face each other across the nave, the south door appears to be late medieval. When passing through the Early English chancel arch you step down into the chancel, an unusual feature probably a consequence of the sloping ground. Perpendicular king-posts support a wagon roof with carved bosses. Consecration crosses painted in red lead survive in both nave and chancel, possibly late medieval in date, the nave walls have post-Reformation biblical texts. The altar is a 13th century stone mensa found buried beneath the floor during the restoration work carried out in 1929-30. An elaborate painted reredos was carved by Ellery Anderson in 1929, oak panelling was fitted at this time. The nave has a Jacobean pulpit with tester and a modern hourglass stand (the original was stolen) which dates from the 1660 Restoration when sermons were meant to last for over an hour. At the west end of the nave is an octagonal 15th century font. There are a few fragments of medieval glass as well as several attractive 1930s windows by Geoffrey Webb whose web signature can be seen beneath a depiction of the Madonna and Child. Two of the windows have rebus designs, one depicting a house amongst fields of corn commemorates Ernest Fieldhouse while the other shows a ship and tun representing Shipton. St. Mary's is now in the able custody of The Churches Conservation Trust.
The Shiptons are near Andoversford 7miles from Cheltenam, just over an hour from Stratford-upon-Avon.
Remote control module composed of battery, RC receiver, and RC servo. Used to operate my Halloween pneumatic props for 2009--the Pop Up Ghoul and the Scary Clown in a Box.
I'm building a motor drive cable for my pocket wizard to fire a EOS Rebel (XT(i)). The idea is to set it up high with a wide angle lens over a strobist event and key the camera to a shooting station's PW channel to automatically record setup shots for each shot.
Here is the superclamp + ball head setup being tested in my shop. This is gonna open up some cool possibilities at the next garage shoot.
(Side note: Can you believe this much noise is from shooting at ISO400? I'll never buy another camera with a Sony sensor in it again).
Not exactly the prettiest remote, but I think I really dig using my iPad and/or iPhone as a remote control for my TV.
The Virginia Dental Association Missions of Mercy held their free dental clinic at the UVA Wise Convocation Center this weekend in Wise, Virginia. This event is seperate from the Remote Area Medical event at the Wise County Fairgrounds which also offers free dental care.

Not exactly the prettiest remote, but I think I really dig using my iPad and/or iPhone as a remote control for my TV. This is the only mode of the remote I don't quite get. Not sure exactly what this was intended to accomplish.

Times Herald-Record Staff Photographer Chet Gordon's remote Nikon D-1X camera with a 10.5mm f/2.8AF fisheye lens prior to the United States Military Academy's 2010 Graduation and Commissioning Ceremony at Michie Stadium in West Point, NY on Saturday, May 22, 2010. This camera is installed primarily to capture a low-angle view of the cadet's traditional "hat toss." President Barack Obama delivered the commencement address as 1,002 cadets received their diplomas and were commissioned as 2nd. Lieutenants in the U.S. Army. Times Herald Record/CHET GORDON
the swamp mas marked on the map as a dotted area - it was big. so nice to breeze right over it :))
Roland's wife, Audete, warned us of the possible mosquitoes around this part. thankfully we encountered only a few fat slow males about.
Once you top that little saddle on the Nature Trail, things open up. The valley isn't as tight on the side of the saddle, and the mountain is tapering off back into the sediment-filled valley. That's still Phoenix neighborhoods off in the distance, but it seems a lot more isolated over here.

“We are product of our past but we don't have to be prisoners of it" - Rick Warren
I thought I made up an awesome quote but then I googled it and found that someone had already said what I was trying to say and better. Thanks a lot Rick. Stealin' my thunder.
Anyways, this shot was kind of fun. I did of lot of different shots of my face to get the right expression. I was doing every shot just looking at the camera but I ended up thinking this (with my head tilted) was the most interesting. I took old photos of me with family or friends and scattered them on the ground (I had a black sheet thing laid out for the black part).
For processing, I found that if I made me black and white, it made for an artsier and neater photo. It put more emphasis on all the photos rather than me...which I wanted.
I used a remote for this and had my tripod upside down/reversed.
Let me know what you think of it.
