S96-13428 (6 August 1996) --- This artist's rendering shows Pathfinder's unique descent to the surface of Mars. The spacecraft, enclosed in a cocoon of airbags, has just been severed from the tether which connected it to a huge parachute and Viking-derived heatshield used to slow the spacecraft's speed after entry in the Martian atmosphere. Once the spacecraft comes to a halt, the airbags will deflate and the spacecraft will stand itself side up, then open its panels to expose its solar panels. As the Sun rises over Mars, Pathfinder will power on, along with a miniature companion rover, called Sojourner, which sits on the inside of one of its panels. Sojourner will use one of two exit ramps to roll off the lander and drive onto the surface of Mars. There it will begin a week of science experiments on the surface of Mars, while the lander takes panoramic photographs of the Martian terrain. The Mars Pathfinder mission is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C., and is scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, atop a Delta II expendable launch vehicle on December 2, 1996.
Very small hamlet on the south Cornish coast. Rested camera on the rope use to tether this boat to the shore.
Tested tethered shooting with laptop and LR 3.
Plus:
- very useful to see lighting & other details from bigger display
- easy & fast to test how the photos will look in BW, with tonings etc.
Minus:
- cables... bloody cables... they are always too short or tangled to feet
- delay. It takes a moment before the NEF file is displayed in the laptop.
- files are only stored in the computer (need to backup them separately)
PS. Image is shopped to the laptop display as the machine was already shut down when I took this photo :P
PSS. Positively surprised that the Nikon D3 in the picture gets more attention than the tethered shooting (and it is not even my camera) :D

MK4_3065 Garden Visitors to the Feeders
Shot in our back garden using a 100-400mm lens or a 24-104mm lens. The former were through a window so had to be 'de-hazed' to get anything worth having. The latter were taken with the camera tethered by WiFi to my 'tablet' so I could hid indoors and still get the shots.

Around 6:40pm today, the power went out at my apartment. Lucky for me, the previous night i had rooted my Motorola Droid and installed the Wifi Tethering program.
While everyone else in the building was twiddling their thumbs, I was surfing the net through my phone's internet connection. :D
The area now known as the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts was inhabited by people as early as 12,000 to 9,000 B.C. By the time European settlers arrived here, the region was inhabited by the Wampanoags who called this place Mattakeesett, meaning “place of many fish.”
In 1620, the English settlers known as the Pilgrims established their colony in Plymouth. Per the terms of their contract with financial backers in London, they were required to live together in a tight community for seven years. At the end of that term, in 1627, land along the coast was allotted to settlers for farming. Thus, the coastline from Plymouth to Marshfield was parceled out and many settlers began moving away from Plymouth.
Duxbury Beach is a beach is four miles long and is accessed by the Powder Point Bridge from Duxbury. It is a barrier beach, defined by sand dunes, rosa ragusa, and beach grass near which piping plovers nest.
One of the first trans-Atlantic cables came ashore here at Rouse's Hummock, and the first call was made on it to President James Garfield by Naploeon III.

1939 Holley Speed King Tether Car:
In 1939, Dan Holley Industries brought out one of the first gas powered tether racers. Today, Holley is best known for their high performance carburetors, but they were pioneers in the hobby of tether car racing.
This car measures nearly 19 inches in length. This particular example is a very early, rarely seen, First Series with the balsa wood body and the narrow slat cast aluminum grille.
Power is by a very early "tin can" spark ignition Dennymite, serial #7989. The needle valve, though in place, is snapped at the base. The Dennymite turns through smoothly to the polished aluminum ring and pinion rear axle setup. The engine has good compression.
Features include semi-elliptic springing front and rear with working steering for the front wheels.
At some point, many years ago, someone executed an astounding restoration. There is slight age cracking to the yellow paint.
The cast aluminum frame, and the original wheels (and tires) were finished in a brilliant "banana" yellow as was the body work. The Speed King now carries the "Bad Banana" moniker.
Also included is a beatifully fabricated aluminum hood, polished exhaust pipe, and a hand fabricated bandbrake done in brass. There is a tricky dirt deflector, a wrapped steering wheel, turned aluminum dash, a hand hammered aluminum bellypan, and a slick red seat! The radius rods are adjustable and done in brass. An ignition coil is fitted, and the graphics are hand enamelled.
This simply has to be the best First Series Speed King ever!

Boeing AH-64A Apaches await their next assignment.
9th October 1996.
The Apache is probably the most feared western helicopter of all time with an extraordinary amount of fire-power.
Without even pointing the helicopter at the target, that chin mounted gun can be fired from all directions simply by the crew using their helmet-mounted sights to look at the enemy position and the amount of rockets and missiles this killing machine can unleash is not even worth thinking about!
There is simply no-place to hide when an Apache arrives on scene.

Description: 'Photograph (Cinematograph Film) entitled 'With Captain Scott [Royal Navy] to the South Pole (British Antarctic Expedition)'. 'Tethered ponies'' by Herbert Ponting (1870-1935).
Date: c.1911
Our Catalogue Reference: COPY 1/562/105
This image shows a single frame from the very short (3-4 frame) sections of nitrate film stock accessioned at The National Archives from Herbert Ponting's footage of the Antarctic. For preservation reasons copies were made of of the original nitrate negatives and these were used to produce modern black and white Kodak prints of the clips which we have scanned for the web. The quality of the resultant images is variable.
