Unless You Are Into Photography,

the first part of today's post,



 is going to be pretty dull, Diana went to the hairdressing salon, so I had a few hours to play, these are my two cameras mounted side by side, with the hand held remote,


 the upside down view showing the adjustable rail they are on,

in the center the tripod mount,

 the rear view, 

 now mounted on the tripod,

 in landscape mode, note the sensors where the flash would normally be, although it does not look it, both cameras and lenses are exactly the same,

 switched on and ready to go, the camera on the left is the infrared converted one, on the right the normal camera,

 and with a slight flick, 

 of the ball joint at the top of the tripod,

 and they are moved though 90° into portrait mode,

 the reason for all of this is if you want to take a long exposure and have two cameras taking pictures of the same scene in a different way, in my case one normal and one infrared, it is difficult not to have the cameras suffer from camera shake when touching and pressing both shutter buttons, so as well as the mounting rail,

 I bought two of these, Oppilas wireless shutter controls, I used the camera end of both of them but I only need to use one of the hand held releases as one controls both cameras,

and here is a brief summary of what the unit can do, for myself all I need them to do is to switch both cameras on as the duration (shutter speed), I will have already set on both cameras, now this is important, if you are going to buy any after market equipment like these, make sure they are made for your camera, as each of the major brands has a different remote sensor socket on the camera,

 after our evening meal the cats joined us for their sleep in the front room, as we watched The Chase and a few Bargain Hunts and Antiques Road Trip,

 normally they sleep in their room, but it is really cold, so they chose the sofas to sleep on tonight,

 Hogue tried to stay awake,

 but eventually nodded off, 

as did Mariana, Cable was asleep as soon as he laid down,

then to round the evening off The Living Daylights, great fun for all, and with that we moved to cats to their room and for us we were off to bed.
