Here's a shot my wife took of my Slow Stick at Sunset:

cool.

Very nice. You have inspired me to recruit my wife and her new 35 mm.

Great photo...slow sticks are a blast....

sweet picture kinda made me have to adjust my eyes as I am in a dark room and its bright

Kinda reminds me when I took some pictures of the sunset FROM my slowstick I'll post other if I find some worth posting. Actaully the first one is a sunrise

Gorgeous pictures guys!

Kyle, any problems finding your SS in the dusk sky?

Andy

Andy: to be honest, the camera makes it look a lot darker then it really was... but still one time I was up and all I could see was the sillouette of the SS. VERY hard to land in the tight space I had to! sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack this thread, Sorry Jim

Hey DesertJim,
Do you have a high resolution photo you could e-mail me? I'd love to use your photo as a desktop wallpaper on my computer.

Thanks,
Jim

Eliworm, sure, be happy to. I'm a bit new at this, but send me your email address (if it's already here somewhere I don't know where to look...).

Jim

Kyle G. Great sunset photos. I'm trying to figure out how to get a camera on my SS. Do you have any photo's that show how yours is attached and how to you trip the shutter? Thanks,
Jim

Here is the e-mail Jim.

Thanks,

Thanks Jim here is a picture of the camera mount. Sorry I couldn't put the cam in because, well, I'm using it for the picture but it sets inside the box and is held in by a little bolt that goes through the wood on the bottom into the camera. (there is a little treaded area for the bolt in the camera already) and you can see where it attached to the slow stick up top. A little U section is where is fits into the fuse and held on by the velcro you see. Works really well. Man the flash really emphesizes the imperfections

Kyle, thanks for the photo. Looks like you have a "special" plunger to trip the shutter of the camera. Any chance of more info on it? Or a close up photo. I think I can make a similiar mount for mine. What kind of wood did you use?

Jim

O Jim, sorry forgot to mention how I tripped the shutter. Thats basicly just a servo, double sided taped onto the wood. And ziptied to prevent it from comin off. The tape just holds it in position. I'll get you a close up in a second. Woods used, was some FREE paint sturers (how do you spell that ) from home depo. I think. Either that or Ace hardware but I found them laying around the house. Also some scrap plywood, and chizzled firewoods was used. Chizzled firewood pieces when in the corners of the box for strength

Makes a great desktop photo Jim. How do you like it?

Jim
