For my third project in photo 1, we're doing shutter speeds. I'm playing around with photographing fire with my film camera vs the usual with my digital.
In contrast to the other side of the farmhouse (see next photo) it looks like corrugated iron is the "in" method to keep out the bad weather!
An old weather beaten pallet leaning against a roller shutter door. Straight out of camera with no post processing. One of the images that I shot for Practical Photography Magazine Camera School Module 5 Black and white.

I bought a couple of these for remote shutter release. They are very handy for taking slow shutter speed photos (camera on a tripod) and for people photos, especially if I want to include myself in a group.
I had a couple of the Sony RMT-P1BT controllers, but lost one of them. I have also run into these suddenly stop working because the battery ran out. Which means I have to carry an inventory of spare batteries, and always carry an extra battery with me. The Sony controller is expensive (USD 78), and the batteries are expensive too.
These Chinese bluetooth controllers are much cheaper, less of a financial hit if you lose them, far easier to link to the camera (better user interface), and very importantly, have a rechargeable battery inside them and a fast USB-C charger, as well as a battery level indicator. So I never need to worry about running out of battery power, and I can recharge them anywhere, even in my car.
I bought this brand the first time about 3 years ago, and that model did not use a rechargeable internal battery. Also, it stopped working after about 3 years of use, so I had to throw it away. The new model looks improved and has the rechargeable internal battery. Hopefully this will last longer! So far so good…
Having a dedicated remote controller like this is better than a smart phone app. You have to pull out your phone, then run the app, then wait for it to connect with the camera, then look into your phone to push a button. You look really silly doing that if you are in a group photo! A remote controller is much easier to operate: it gives you both the focus and the shutter release button, and you can also keep it in your hand and then keep your hand in your pocket very naturally to take a photo, without looking like a geek!
Hope this is useful info – I can recommend this device.
A shutter I saw on my way to Kloof street. Since Neilen suggested that we all join project 365, I've been noticing the subtle changes between weekday-Long-Street and weekend-Long-Street.
