Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 31 10:42 am)
Subject: Photography Forum Challenge - May 2014 - "Selfie / Mobile Phone / Webcam"
Quote - @ Jacomina: There are two mirrors. The one on top is for seeing out the side, and the bottom one is for seeing right down next to the motorhome. It's quite curved, which makes you see my arm like that! LOL!
Thanks for elucidating the mystery of all your arms, dear friend. I still think it's a great selfie, Tara (as well as an impressive trip which you both undertake).
I'm the guy in the almost exact center of the photo - the guy with the white box controlling my camera which is about 100 feet above me. Bill and Tara, you just knew I was going to do this..... LOL
You can also see Jo just in front of me (blue shirt). The structure is the famous 'castle' ruins at Haha Tonka State Park near Camdenton, Mo. We took a little mini-vacation there over the weekend.
The photo is actually a screen grab of video taken with my Phantom 2 Vision quadcopter. I had quite a few spectators for this flight, and they actually gave me a round of applause when I landed the Phantom right in front of the ruins.

Saturday was a beautiful day - nice and calm; a perfect day for flying and photography!

That's very cool, Jacomina! That's Devil's Tower in the upper right, and Yellowstone in the upper left. The cowboy on the horse is the image that means "Wyoming" to everyone in the country! :) It's on their official coin, and on their car license plates. What a nice carving that is!

Such an interesting info about what is to see on the carving.
Thank you dear Tara, I really didn't know this.
Quote - @ Jacomina: I'm glad I could tell you about your carving! :)
@ Melinda: Terrific shot, and I'm glad it wasn't ME in the 105F heat!! You would have seen a picture taken through the car window! LOL!
Ha! The Saguaro photo was almost taken through the windshield. I was driving, stopped the truck, opened the door, stepped onto the running board and took my shot. Then quickly dove back into the air conditioned vehicle!!
Yeah, I hear ya! When we were on our trip, everywhere we stopped we had the same conversation: "Could you live here?" Sometimes the answer was a quick and resounding "NO!" That's how I felt about the desert. It's beautiful for a little while, in the spring, when it's only about 75F, but I could never live there. Even when it's nice, the humidity is too low for me. I whine a lot. LOL!

this next one is from today, we have been for a little bike ride in the hills of Appenzell..
was nice and warm weather, and my old Yamaha 750 Virago from 1987 works just great!
I always said that i stop Motorbike with 60 years... will see
picture done with my stupid i-phone cam... says it all :-)
Quote - A closer 'selfie!' The Phantom is just about to land here - you can see me with the controller with my Ipad attached. The Ipad gives me a live view from the quadcopter, and allows me to control the camera. I can take videos or shoot stills with it.

great selfie done by quadrocopter and you know handle it! not easy, well done!
I converted this to b&w and did a bit of postwork because he was a little too backlit and his face didn't show as well as I would have liked. He would say, "My FACE?? This was about the fish!" (He had me text him the picture so he could show his dad.) :P

@ Prisca, is this you with that helmet on an airplane? Rather sensational to see this.
@ Hi Andrew, you forgot to close your mouth, did you know that? Oh, but maybe you were waiting for something that would fly in.
@ Tara, what a cool photo from your friend, and fish! Are this trout he caught?
@ Martin, this is not a good publicity for the Netherlands, my friend!
@ Jacomina ... yes, they're rainbow trout, caught in the lake just down the road. We'll be having them for dinner tonight! :) You always seem to be having such a good time! :)
Love the four-panel colored piece, Melinda. Nice!

Wow! I am really chuffed how this one has taken off this month!
Great to see you, Priska, Andrew and Jacomina!
I was always a Yamaha fan, Priska - owned (in this order) - XS400, XJ650, FJ1100, DT125, FZ750, XTZ660 Motard... sadly I spent 7 weeks in hospital riding the last one in 2006 - no bikes since then.
I hope the trout was good, Tara!
@ Clive: The trout dinner was delicious! Fish is always amazing when someone else catches, cleans and cooks it. Dennis' wife made a wonderful mini salad bar, and I made wild rice with farro. Thanks for asking! :)
I like the kayaker with the dog! That's a great way to take the dog "for a walk" and have a different experience. Very cool!
