I met this young man in Adis on the way to south Africa (The 2009/10 cycling trip)

A city where you can loose all your money or get your next best friends……..

More Adis:

Addis Ababa (sometimes spelled Addis Abeba, the spelling used by the official Ethiopian Mapping Authority) is the capital city of Ethiopia. (In Ethiopian languages: Amharic, Addis Abäba [adis aβəβa] “new flower”- the largest city in Ethiopia, with a population of 3,384,569 according to the 2007 population census.

As a chartered city (ras gez astedader), Addis Ababa has the status of both a city and a state. It is where the African Union and its predecessor the OAU are based. It also hosts the headquarters of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and numerous other continental and international organizations.

#nature #photos gets better with a remote person with control

Bjørn Heidenstrøm

Go to the end of the blog, I want examples of remote controll photos….

Beacause I`m writing three books. Two will of course be the two best books on the planet about trips in the outdoor on Destiantion 1. Hurum and 2. Sjusjøen  😉

I`v been tracking, hiking, skiing and paddling for years on those two destinations and have of course been taking photos of the best places to hike, fish, camp and where you can put up your bace camp fire and sing too the moon….

–          And I have seen and do mean that the photos gets better, nicer and adds something more (living?) when I add a person in the photo….

–           but I have had a challenge:  my lady don’t want to go on every trip……

–          That’s problem…

–          Solution; a Hahnel Comi TF Remote control

First a look on what I mean, and please have a look on my two shots from Sjusjøen (I think that person makes more life in the photo)  (is there a roule about this?)

Taken by me of my lady and my dog ( Place; Nevel Mountain ) and yes! I did push it to a old style Black/white..

 

Then my lady shot me on “Svartåsen” and again; “I think the photos gets greater with a person in it…..

 

–          Then to the yesterdays solution. A ca 1000 Norwegian Kroner  investment  in a a Hahnel Comi TF Remote control , and got it on the shop in Norway that maybe have best control on what they sell (Go www.fotovideo.no )

The remote did fire up to 100 meter (!!!) (great!! ) – And this is from the small test on Bjønnåsen yesterday.

 

 

 

 

 

…So – If you have any photos and tests that you’ve done with a remote, please Twit me on @Heidenstrom… I want to learn and be inspired  😉

#photo “Iv shot my first Lepidoptera” (lep-i-DOP-tər-ə) #backpacking #hiking

Bjørn Heidenstrøm

I`v also learned a new English Word; Lepidoptera /ˌlɛpɨˈdɒptərə/ lep-i-DOP-tər-ə  – and I feel I sound much more sofisticated saying that, then the fact that it`s a Butterfly… 😉

Lepidoptera  is a large order of insects that includes moths and butterflies called lepidopterans. It is one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world,[1] encompassing moths and the three superfamilies of butterflies, skipper butterflies, and moth-butterflies.
