Post by: SteamboatPhil on May 18, 2010, 11:09:21 pm
Having studied the picture I can conclude it is a remote firing device for a sub atomic, non steam powered, 6 volt semi submersible, auto car key finding (without lights as it's an optional extra at £1-25) stealth capable ping pong ball launcher.

But I could be wrong  %)

In Pic 2 that lady's back is hugely expressive. After having to interpret female body language over the years in order to survive, I can tell you that it plainly says "Silly Old B****r playing with his new toy; I'm off home".  {-)  :-))

so how do you know what your camera will be taking a photo of.  any fancy gadgets involved like a remote screen with a camera view on the ground or just pot luck that you shot the ground photo and not a nice picture of the sky.

Hi Barry,
I need the wife to help me retrieve the camera a kite, and I have the car keys.

Hopeitfloats,
Its pot luck mostly but I can pan 360 and tilt so I take lots and dump what are duff, thats the good thing about Digital Cameras.

TugCowboy,
Thanks, these are taken at the Singleton Enviornment Centre Ashford Kent UK and the building is the Centre with a lovely Bistro.
