The best gift this X-mas? A remote control for my new camera. Here's the shot I took to test out the device.
All I did was set the camera on the back of the couch, set it for "remote with 2 second delay," pressed the shutter release, and walked casually in front of the camera. I like the 2 second delay because it gives me time to put my hand down (so the photo doesn't have me pointing the remote at the camera.
While the northbound was pulled up on the mainline this remote job was going about his duties of dumping several dozen loads of aggregate. The skies were clear and the temps were cool.
yes, i realize that the remote is probably the simplest tool a photographer can have. but i've lived this long without one.
this may take some getting used to.
Ever since I saw the tiny line of this road on my Travel Map of Mid Wales, I have wanted to explore this route. It is as remote as you can get in the UK outside of Scotland. It crosses the Cambrian Mountains and is truly beautiful in even the dreariest weather.

My last adventure included a 6 mile hike in to the back country of West Virginia with all my camera gear on my back. Fly rod, of course, in hand. I came across this smaller set of falls. Not only did it produce several beautiful native brook trout on a dry Adams fly but gave me this great LE picture.
Out just off Pea Ridge in Chester, Maine is this unique bridge, featuring arches on both ends. Something about the CP "Short Line" was that it featured a plethora of unique bridges.... Here NBSR 909 returns west, lite power unfortunately, after dropping 56 for CSXT at Keag.
I went out Sunday night as the sky and light looked interesting. This location is very close to my house (about 0.5 miles away) and I had often thought this hut would make a good composition but never really saw the right conditions. Then I saw these clouds and decided now was the time to see if a shot could work. I had to go into a field to get to the right spot and had just set up my tripod and camera when the farmer came up to me. I know most of the farmers locally (some are friends and they let me wonder about) but had not seen this chap before. He was very interested in why I was in the field and what I was photographing. Once I had reassured him that I was just an eccentric photographer who likes taking pictures of clouds, he was fine with it!
Running an SD40-2 (out of frame) via the remote on his chest, a BNSF engineer shuffles hoppers into the South Yard at Alliance, NE. Even with the downturn in coal traffic out of Wyoming, dozens of trains head in and out of the Powder River Basin mines via South Yard each day.
In the woods with Phill this week spending a bit of time with stencils and a bit of a lighter weight kit as i've been getting a bit of Plantar pain in the heel of my left foot. I think carrying a rucksack full of camera kit, lightpainting kit and tripod has started to take its toll on my body. A great chilled night out.

My favorite new model (the Chief), posing with a newly recut one-piece injection M363 Remote Detonator (a.k.a. "Rocket Pistol") and shotgun prototypes.
I'll try to bring some to Brickfair...protos, that is. Pecovam's Master Chief will not leave my sight. ;)
after 15 seconds of horror with treadmill i find CARTMAN on sofa with tv remote, now doesnt he look happier now. :P
The most remote area in the Australian outback LOL This is a FB image. I couldn't resist and had to share it with you all. I couldn't stop laughing.
Stopped by the remote controlled airfield for short time for the first time in quite a while. A friend of mine was flying a few of the 31 planes he owns. Only got photos of 2 of them while there, the first two red ones and the last six photos here. Fun watching how skillful these pilots are doing aerial maneuvers, takeoffs and landings. I always send any photos I take for them to post on their club site. Sorry for so many photos, just saving to my album. :-)
This started out as a prototype for a BB8 droid, but I thought it was interesting enough to stand on its own.
It's a remote control, steerable, monowheel. It has some control issues (don't we all) but it's still pretty fun to play with.
