MODEL TESTING WITH A GO PRO

Winter in Sonoma is a time of heavy rain; especially this year. With my son and grandson we have made and modified several shapes of boat to send down the swollen creek with a go pro mounted.

The experiments have led to changes in shape and stability.

Video of the event will follow.

SNOW LION DURING THE BLOCK ISLAND RACE 2011

I have been working hard at my photography over the last few years. I have an archive of over one hundred thousand images, starting in the early sixties to the present, covering a broad spectrum of events in the world.

The image above remains one of my favorites, taken with a Go-pro, best known for video. This is an older go pro I can only imagine why the “new ” generation will produce.

I used it during the Transatlantic race last year and have video of us sailing, however it was a particularly benign race so there is no truly exciting footage.

My photography web site is down due to an unknown glitch which was caused by an update as far as I can tell. So almost a year’s work is locked out. I think there is a missing or misplaced piece of code that could be the culprit. I have started work on a new site, hoping it will be safer.
