I've finally got myself a remote control for the Nikon. (I did Day 1 on the Canon using the remote but since then they've all been 10 second dashes or arm's length points...)
I was just messing about with the remote and the 50mm lens and came up with this one - which I rather like. It's sort of how I think I look..?
And I certainly look more cheerful than yesterday eh..?
Fog is gently floating amidst the coniferous tree woods in Valea Draganului, Apuseni Mountains, Romania.
If you think that this picture is magic, it's maybe that there's a trick to it.
Back in Yangshuo, China, I was looking for the best opportunity to take an above average sunset picture.
And given the spectacular nature of the surrounding area, it should have been fairly easy.
Well, it wasn't, mostly because it's impossible to climb on those limestone peaks to get a clear view. But no need to panic.
So I'm riding my rented bike. The sunset show has already begun. I'm sweating because the more it goes, the more I think that this entreprise will surely fail. When I see a dilapilated building on the side of the road.
In it, it seems possible to reach the roof so I'm going, only to find myself in the company of the picture enthousiasts club of Yangshuo, about eight people, all equiped with cameras ranging from brand new and extremely expensive to a hundred years old and unbuyable.
And from there, not only do we overlook a picturesque pond in front of the limestone peaks, but the group is also connected to the chinese man on the bamboo raft with talky walkies.
That helps if you want that man going a bit on the right, a bit on the left, raising an arm, or taking whatever position that would look good in a picture.
So there you, that's the trick.
Welcome to the remote controlled perfection.
In this view there are no buildings, roads, footpaths or any sign of people apart from our insignificant tents to the bottom left. Standing in this place and knowing that it has looked this for thousands of years is a fantastic experience, particularly with an absolute firecracker of a sunset!
The workshop participants almost enjoyed this as much as me!
By remote shooting with Playboy Cybergirl Muirina Fae, model/hair/makeup
On Saturday I participated in a remote workshop shoot with model @muirinafae and coordinator @darwinimages. Because I was operating in completely unfamiliar waters, using methods and gear completely new to me and a model 3400 km away from me, I learned a great deal. Plus I gained a newfound appreciation for my old familiar gear! :-)
Reaching these dunes can require some serious four-wheeling. There were patches of sand verbena visible in spring 2016. All the more reason to make the effort if we get profuse wildflowers in this area of Death Valley National Park this year. We may visit here in our annual spring Death Valley backcountry trip in mid to late March, 2026.
Early May 2020: the authorities strongly suggested that those who could work from home, should do so.
My wife was an "early adopter" and was quick to establish a "home office."
Due to my line of work, I could unfortunately not "harvest the benefits" of that, but worked weird shifts and long hours in order to be able to be home too, to the extent possible.
Now, almost three years later, "hybrid working" is a well working concept at many workplaces so she's at the home office a couple of days a week.
For me, remote work is not possible, so I've figured out my own "hybrid" work model: as little as possible and strategically planning hard to get fired.
Unfortunately, my bosses are not exactly keen on the latter.
This quiet little loch does not appear to have a name. When I stopped the car there were plenty cars parked at the side of the road. I never met anyone, maybe they work on the estate or they were out for a walk. For me I enjoyed the peace and quiet of it all.
