Yesterday evening Leigh and I went out into the garden with our Sunday Dinner just before 20.00. I was aware of a chewing noise coming from the garden fence. Aware that we have a Wasps Vespa sp. nest in the roof-space I was expecting to see a Common Wasp Vespula vulgaris chewing up the wood for pulp for their nest. what I wasn't expecting was a European Hornet Vespa crabro munching away. as the sun was sinking behind nearby houses I ran in and grabbed my Nikon Coolpix P310, probably not ideal for the job but at least I could shoot some video.
My first attempt led to the Hornet flying off – I thought for good but it soon returned and set about our fence with an appetite similar to mine for my Roast Pork dinner.
On it's return I did manage a short video clip and I decided to try a bit of Black & White macro photography.

Over the Spring we noticed a good showing of Arum Lilies Arum maculatum otherwise know as Lords And Ladies or more peculiarly Parson In The Pulpit along Tom Long's Meadow in Quorn. Successive contractors haves trimmed the hell out of most of them but a few have survived though most have taken a battering even now. Quite why contractors are employed to 'tidy up' nature reserves I'll never know.
As we walked Minnie Mü yesterday Leigh spotted a couple more spikes near the Bulls Head pub in Quorn, so today I stuffed my trusty Nikon Coolpix in my pocket on the walk. Even these spikes had taken a bit of a beating but I managed a couple of half-decent macro shots.
I think after spotting a few good landscape views towards Breedon-on-the-Hill and the church I might have to check out Cloud Wood LRWT. Dave Gray informs me there are a few spikes there but they might take a bit of searching out.

After the disaster of last season football fans in Hinckley have a team to support again… Hinckley AFC. A good crowd of 215 saw an entertaining and hard fought game at Heather St John's FC, where Hinckley AFC are groundsharing this season. Despite the loss and the fact they put out two distinct teams they held their own against a much bigger club. Good luck for the season!
Hot on the heels of my last post from RAF Waddington comes a bit more Swedish Noir… this time in the form of one of my all-time favourite aircraft the Saab AJS37 Viggen 52-7 of the Swedish Airforce Historical Flight. What a supberb aircraft and what a display. It took me back to my aircraft modelling days of the 70s and also the scream put both Dave and I in mind of the Angel Interceptors on Captain Scarlett.
Viggen has an interesting translation into English. It can mean Thunderbolt but it can equally mean Tufted Duck… I think the Saab 37 Tufted Duck didn't go down well with the Airforce top brass!

Wow! It's been so long… I'm afraid the birding blues are still persisting but yesterday Dave Gray and I went to RAF Waddington for the Waddington International Airshow 2014. Birds of a different kind I suppose. We did have Meadow Pipits doing their parachute display… I bet not many others witnessed the only parachute display of the day due to the early rain. We also had a rather splendid raptor (that I won't name) display over the runway while the B17 Flying Fortress did her thing (we both have some photos for the Lincs recorder).
One of the highlights for me was a fantastic display from the Swedish Air Force Saab SK35C Draken 810-16.

So I am looking to outfit my Tundra for long weekends and weeklong adventures. I'm struggling with whether to go with an older slide in camper or just buy a truck topper and build out the back. Clearly cost is an issue, but I don't want to be penny wise. The primary reason I am considering a slide in is that from November to March the long nights and cold temps make a camper more attractive. I'd like to climb in IC, Shelf etc. when overnight temps are in the low teens and daytime temps are 30+. Also, with 12+ hourws of darkness hanging out in a tent for a week kinda sucks. Having a relatively comfortable retreat would be sweet. During the other months of the year I would prefer to just throw a sleeping bag on a tarp and call it good. Of course, if weather kicks up then I could retreat to the built-out topper or throw up a tent. The primary drawbacks I see to the camper are initial cost, gas, storage and having to slide it in and out at the campground to free up the truck to get to the climbs. Half the year it would likely just sit. Anyone out there struggled with this dilemma? Any adivce? I suppose a third option is to go with the flip pac, which is a cross between the two. Any insight is much appreciated. Scott
We have preferred this one. Very comfy. Great to cook, sleep, sort gear, play cards, get out of the wind. When the weather went to shit, our friends jumped in with us. We have had up to 4 adults and three dogs comfortably. Sets up in 5 minutes. Its spent many days in the creek. We are not using it anymore, so time to sell. $1000. If you are by yourself you don't need this. Go with the flipac.
I bought a Four Wheel Camper slide in for my tacoma last year and I really like it. You can go anywhere that you can normally drive your truck. It pops up, so when it's down you get less wind resistance. It has a heater and it states really toasty. Plus there is a fridge, stove, and a fold out queen size bed and another twin bed. Cons are that it was spendy, and you aren't supposed to get in it when it's not on the truck (I think all slide ins are that way). I keep mine on all the time when on a trip. I have a two year old and it has really made car camping better for my particular situation.
ive done all three, tent, slide in TC and camp under the canopy. i just sold my slide in TC because i did not have storage. fuel mileage with the TC was terrible, head winds only make it worse. but having said that the comfort was nice. we were on the road for 2 months and doing it under the canopy would not have been as much fun. we are going back to sleeping under the canopy for weekends and short 3-4 night trips. if you can buy one id go for the pop up type truck camper.
I have used both the topper and a slide in pop-up camper...here's my two cents. The pop-up slide is pretty clutch when you're going to be gone for a considerable amount of time. It's comfortable (i.e., comfortable bed, stove, sink, table/bench area and room to stand up) and better than sleeping on the ground. However, I wouldn't want to slide it in and out of my truck every weekend or for every week long trip, plus you need a parking spot to store it when not in use. The topper can be comfortable as long as you get one that allows you to sit up while in bed. I bought a Viking pop up camper for $1000 on craigslist and it's been worth it for us. Although we've often thought that a pull behind popup camper and a topper on our truck would be the best scenario, in that it provides us with the most options and we wouldn't have to pop the camper up and down every time we drive to the crag (i.e., Indian Creek, Red River, Tensleep, Red Rocks). If you can wait a few more months, I'll sell ya the Viking!
Just get a cap... You'll be able to lock up your stuff in the back, and you won't have to take it off. You will save gas money by not hauling some giant contraption that you don't really need for weekend trips. I have an extra futon that'll fit if you want.
I've camped in several pickup toppers (cap, shell, canopy), and usually had trouble with clearance for my head (painful) as well as some difficulty accessing stuff stored under the bed. I know one person with a Tacoma who built a pretty nice cap for it himself out of plywood, and made it a bit higher than cab level to address the headroom issue. He got the windows+screens from an RV supply place, and wired in some lights, etc. I built a rather large plywood topper myself about 20 years ago and lived in it full time, but it wasn't very practical to drive around on a daily basis. I've known other folks who installed slider-shelf contraptions under the bed area to make getting the gear under there much easier. If you go with a topper, Weathergaurd, Adrian Steel and others make those slider things for trucks and vans. One thing to keep in mind with a heavier or taller setup (like a slide-in) is roll stability- adding some extra springs to the rear wouldn't hurt.
Thanks everyone! It sounds like the camper option is probably the best way to go. However, this thread got me thinking that maybe the pull behind is the best option. When I think of the places I would most likely go it is clear that I can access them with a pull behind. They are cheaper, and you can dump them at the campground and take the truck up to the climbs. Maybe a pull behind and a topper....damn it, too many options...
Just an update for those who care. I bought the slide in, but found it to be too much of a pain. First, it's a pain to get in and out of the bed of the truck. Second, once in, you can't drop it at the campsite, which means you have to put everything away every day and take it back out every night. Third, driving offroad with it in the back is a bit terrifying. Finally, there really isn't much room. So, based on all that, I sold it and bought a tow behind pop up. It seems to solve most of my complaints, with the one problem being that it might be more difficult to get it back in to some of the spots. I'm test driving it next week in the desert, and will post back.
I know this thread is old but what was the verdict on the tow behind getting into some of the more inaccessible places? Are you still using the tow behind?
I've been using the pull behind since that post. I mostly use it in the Creek between December and February, or if I am going somewhere for a longer trip. At the Creek I typically park it in the Superbowl. Take it slow, and it is no problem. While I have taken it on worse roads, there is a serious potential for damage so now that's about as aggressive as I get with it. Since I bought mine I have seen a few newer ones with higher clearance, bigger axles, and bigger tires. I think Coleman makes one. They look pretty burly and would likely have no problem getting in harder spots. Overall, I have found it really extends the season. Temps in the single digits overnight are not a problem with the heater (we leave it off at night, but can reach out of bed to turn it on before getting up in the morning), and the lights make the long nights pretty reasonable. One downside is it has made us a bit softer- there's something satisfying about suffering in the cold and huddling around a campfire.... Finally, if it is just me and a buddy (as opposed to girlfriend), then the topper on the back of the truck pretty much rules. Sleep on a tarp if it's nice enough, jump in the back when rain rolls through.
I had a cap on my ranger for the four years I owned it. I never took it out in real cold weather but I wouldn't hesitate to with a good sleeping bag. Most of the time I just slept on my crash pad and stored almost everything in the cab. The sliding window made it real easy to get to stuff in the cab. Also as mentioned, it stays on all year and you can throw anything you want back there and lock it up and it will stay dry.
Anyone else think it is remarkable that this post went stagnant for 3 years and then when a question pops up the author answers within the hour? Anyways, I've done the topper for years and so do all my buds. It is pretty darn hard to beat for functionality. I freaking love it. But I'm getting long in the tooth and have 2 kids now (and dog). So I imagine it won't be soon before I'm in a popup trailer. An end of an era. I'll know when its time to hang up my rack when I buy my first class A motorhome. I'd be thankful if you ever see me in one, years from now, to just end it for me. Ray
^^^^ That is one sweet build. Thanks for sharing.
Had a topper with a slide in and then an FWC Grandby pop-up slide in came up for sale about twenty minutes from me. No more acting like a contortionist to get in and dressed in the morning and having a heater that I can turn on from the bed and a fridge that makes ice is nice as well. Adding solar panels in the next couple weeks. Here it is on the backside of Lookout Pass somewhere along the Idaho-Montana border.
Depending on how handy you are, and your construction skills. You can build your own slide in with plain lumber. They don't look all slick and tricked out, but you get to configure it how you like. Foam insulation, paint, an RV door and windows. Home builts can be lighter than the manufactured ones. One guy posted his build on the cheap, got most of his screws at garage sales. Lots of good designs online. Just another option.
I have a slide in/pop-up camper for sale here in Wisco. Fits a Dodge Dakota sized truck. Used it for years, has a working fridge, propane heater, 3 burner stove, plenty of storage, sleeps 2-3 reasonably well. Its located in Baraboo if any one is interested. I have no need for it since I no longer have a truck to put it on..........
Some really nice looking options. But it gets to be a matter of age progression. In our 20's we loved camping in our tents. In our 30's we loved camping in the pop-up and slide in camper. In our 40's we loved camping in our 24' travel trailer In our 50's we love our 40' 5th wheel that we live in and travel constantly.

Sunflowers and wheat fields at TPAC
Is there anyone who hasn't seen Vincent van Gogh's paintings of sunflowers and wheat fields?
On Friday, artist, author and playwright Terrence James Coffman will perform his play "A Night with van Gogh," at the Trueblood Performing Arts Center. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception that will include a silent auction of French-themed items such as French-cooking classes and lavender products. French wine and hors d'oeuvres will also be available.
"My reverence for Vincent van Gogh began when I first discovered his paintings in 1967 in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.," Coffman said. "What has intrigued me for years is not only the genius of his work but the example of his life ? overcoming tremendous obstacles to become the creative genius we love and admire today."
In 2003 Coffman published a novel, "A Walk Through the Wheatfields: The Missing Journals of Vincent van Gogh," based on his research and the hundreds of letters van Gogh wrote to his brother. This historical novel served as the basis for Coffman's play.
Coffman's performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person.
While he is on Washington Island, Coffman will also speak with students at Washington Island School about van Gogh and the life of an artist. Also on stage with Coffman on Friday evening will be actors from Island Players, the community theater group on Washington Island.
Chicago restaurant with Island ties
The Fish Keg, at 2233 W. Howard Street in Chicago, still uses the original sign that was put up when it opened in 1951.
The Chicago Tribune featured the Fish Keg in an article on May 2. Monty Williamson, the current manager, said, "We opened in 1951, and the sign went up shortly after. My cousin, my father-in-law and his brother designed the sign. We took it down once about 10 years ago, and the building looks bare without it. So we fixed the sign, put it back up, and now we see families outside taking pictures in front of it almost every day."
Williamson is the son of Mae Williamson of Washington Island and the son-in-law of Fish Keg owners Ted and Charlotte Hansen, who are now retired and living on Washington Island.
Both Ted and Charlotte Hansen were born on Washington Island. They were "high school sweethearts," said Charlotte, and they will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary next month.

Excellent 10.0
Regal, classic charm, location, iconic history, it is the ONLY place to stay in Honolulu to get away from the hectic city pace. Magical!
Recommending they provide amenities made in Hawaii or USA, disappointed to find their line of amenities made in China. Not what you'd expect from a luxury resort in Hawaii. It was the only thing that disappoints.The Kahala is majestic, atmospheric, beautifully positioned, rooms are spacious, comfortable, bathrooms are grand, grounds are magnificent, staff are friendly, breakfast buffet is opulant, gym is great, pools, ocean, views, sights, sounds....it is Hawaii. Old style sophistication and grandiose.
Excellent 10.0
Stayed at a gorgeous hotel: spotless room, nice turndown service, friendly people, extensive buffet breakfast, beautiful beach, minimal crowds. Would absolutely stay here again!

Paul R. Hollrah
June 22, 2014
In his radio broadcast of Wednesday, June 18, Rush Limbaugh delivered a dire warning... albeit a warning that few listeners will be able to relate to in their private lives. He reported on the decision by the US Patent and Trademark Office to attack the property rights of the Washington Redskins, revoking their trademark rights to the Redskins name and logo. Rush reminded his listeners that, on January 9 of this year, he predicted that "the way the feds are going to 'get the Redskins' is (through) the federal trademark office."
He asked his listeners to imagine the federal government eliminating their private-property rights because of the interpretation of political correctness by a "very tiny minority" of people, ostensibly because they are "offended by something that you own..." He went on to say that they do this "because of political correctness, because they're liberals, because they're statists and authoritarians..."
He concluded by saying, "What happened to the Redskins is neither the first nor the last assault on private-property rights that citizens can expect to witness." He cautioned, "Cheer if you want, but scoffers need to remember that no one is safe when the protections of a constitutional republic are stripped away."
There is no doubt that the US patent and trademark system has been the "engine" of our economy since the day it was written into the US Constitution in 1787. No other nation on Earth has a patent and trademark system like ours, a system that has the potential of creating great personal wealth for anyone who knows how to "build a better mousetrap." Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, two of the most innovative minds among our Founding Fathers, were both prolific inventors, but neither of them could possibly have imagined the scope of what they set in motion.
However, having created an economy and a standard of living far beyond what is available anywhere else in the world, particularly in nations of the Third World, it was to be expected that our patent and copyright system would one day come under attack by foreign interests.
In April 1997, I was minding my own business at my remote hideaway amid the hills and lakes of eastern Oklahoma when I received a telephone call from Washington. I was being recruited as part of a three-man team to take on a very important project. Our job was to kill Senate Bill 507, the Omnibus Patent Reform Act of 1997, and H.400, the House version of the bill.
But first, a bit of history. In 1996, the Clinton administration agreed to give the People's Republic of China a complete set of magnetic tapes from the US Patent Office computers, containing every iota of US technology registered with the patent office in the previous 160 years. For those who have wondered what the Chinese received in exchange for the millions of dollars they poured into the Clinton-Gore reelection campaign in 1996, we finally had an answer. However, when the editor of an internal Commerce Department newsletter unwittingly exposed the scheme all hell broke loose and the offer was withdrawn. It was then that Bill Clinton and Al Gore, at the behest of the Japanese and the Chinese, caused legislation to be introduced in the Congress that would have literally decimated the US patent system.
When the legislation was described to me I thought it must be some terrible joke. No American president could possibly think it was a good idea... unless, of course, he owed a huge debt of gratitude to the Chinese and he was more concerned about that than he was about the economic security of the American people. The legislation we were hired to defeat would have damaged or destroy the US patent system, to the benefit of our foreign trading partners.
We had a difficult task ahead of us. On our first day in Washington the House of Representatives passed its version of the bill, H.400, on a voice vote. Not a single member of the House called for a recorded vote. They voted to destroy one of the most important core functions of the federal government, and they did it on a voice vote... without a single public hearing.
The Clinton legislation proposed that the Department of Commerce relinquish its control over the US Patent Office, and that the patent office would become a new government corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the federal government. They further proposed that the patent office be controlled by an advisory board comprised of six individuals drawn from the private sector... many, if not all, with vested interests in patent office decisions.
They proposed that the patent office be authorized to accept gifts of cash, or anything else of value, without limit, from any and all sources, including individuals, corporations, foreign businessmen, and foreign governments. There was not even a prohibition against contributions from individuals and corporations with patents pending.
They proposed that the patent office be authorized to borrow money and to create debt, without congressional approval, and to retire debt by increasing patent fees... in effect, giving the patent office the power to levy taxes. They simply ignored the fact that, under provisions of the US Constitution, only the Congress has the power to tax.
In order to attract the support of America's largest multinational corporations, the authors of the bill included two provisions that would allow corporations, foreign and domestic, as well as foreign governments, to literally steal intellectual properties without the necessity of paying royalties. First, they proposed that the Patent Office be required to make public all technical details of every new patent application just eighteen months after the inventor filed for a patent... on average, some two and one-half years before the inventor would receive patent protection... with the entire world looking on.
US patent law has always required that all technical details of every patent application be held in strictest confidence by the patent office until the inventor received patent protection. In effect, there would no longer be patent protection for anyone except those with deep enough pockets to defend themselves in multi-million dollar court challenges.
Finally, they proposed the establishment of a system of "patent reexaminations" in which any person or corporation, for a $2,000 filing fee, could cause any existing patent to be reexamined by the patent office. Under provisions of H.400 and S.507, the inventor would be prohibited from using, licensing, or exploiting his or her patented technology in any way while the patent was under reexamination. And while the reexamination process could take years to complete, the clock would continue to run on the inventor's seventeen-year patent term.
Of course, if the inventor were able to successfully defend his patent, those who wished to steal his technology would have others standing in line to file for additional reexaminations. Rather than face personal bankruptcy through the legal costs of endless reexaminations, most inventors would gladly sell their rights to their patents for pennies on the dollar.
If ever there was an outright invitation to corruption, the Clinton-Gore Omnibus Patent Reform Act of 1997 was it. There was nothing in it for the American people, but when we looked to see who was supporting the bills we could understand their motivation. We found ourselves arrayed against the president and vice president of the United States, the People's Republic of China, the Japanese government, the Indonesian Lippo Group, and more than eighty US multinational corporations, including, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, General Electric, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Motorola, Coca-Cola, and dozens more.
We were up against the most powerful coalition of political and moneyed interests on Earth, and the bill they were supporting was potentially more damaging to our country than if we'd lost World War II to the Germans and Japanese, or if we'd lost the Cold War to the Soviets, and it was all done at the behest of a leftist administration in the White House... much like the Obama administration's decision to revoke the Washington Redskins' right to use their name and logo.
With a bit of skillful maneuvering behind the scenes, we were able to defeat S.507 in the US Senate. However, I will never forget the day we found ourselves going from senate office to senate office, following close on the heels of a small group of corporate CEOs, led by none other than Microsoft's Bill Gates, undoing any damage they might have done. As we visited with one western senator he shook his head, and said, "You know, I have a big problem with a guy who makes $13 million a day coming in here 'whining' about how tough things are for him."
But liberals never give up. The problems confronted by the Washington Redskins are only more proof that if at first they don't succeed, liberals will try and try again. As German theologian Martin Niemőller said, "In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."
Today they came after the Washington Redskins; who will it be tomorrow? In November, the voters must begin to send the message that, like crime, political correctness does not pay. There can be no better way to accomplish that end than by voting against every Democrat on the ballot. It is they who are the principal purveyors and the principal beneficiaries of political correctness.

2014 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Sturgis, SD.
If you have not yet attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in the Black Hills of South Dakota, you owe it to yourself to pack up your bike, truck, motorhome or what ever mode of transportation gets you and your motorcycle there to attend. Naturally, we think you should pack up and ride there, it will be an experience you will not soon forget. How cool would it be to ride a brand new Indian Motorcycle back to Sturgis?
Sturgis is unlike any other rally in the country because the rally basically takes over the entire town of Sturgis for two weeks in August. Merchants lease their stores to motorcycle apparel companies, t-shirt vendors and motorcycle accessory companies. There are manufacturer displays, demo trucks, new product unveils, and every brand, year and model motorcycle produced. It's like a running motorcycle museum.
The Sturgis motorcycle rally started with a motorcycle club putting on racing events back in 1938 organized by the Jackpine Gypsies. Clarence "Pappy" Hoe purchased an Indian Motorcycle dealership in 1936 and formed the Gypsies club. My guess is that There will be a new Indian dealership in Sturgis for 2014 along with a huge product reveal during the first week of this years rally, stay tuned…
Ok, here's several reasons you need to attend this rally if you have never been there;
- Bikes, Bikes, Bikes, every brand, year, make and model.
- Chicks and Shirtless Studs (for our women riders :-)
- Racing
- Campground Shenanigans
- Black Hills, monuments and serpentine roads
- Concerts, top talent
- Camaraderie
This is the one place on earth where everyone gets along, as long as you're on two wheels your part of the family. Everyone in attendance understands going in that this event draws people from all demographics, doctors, lawyers, teachers and construction workers, it doesn't matter. When you put on that leather jacket and helmet nothing else matters, you enter the world of brotherhood, Sturgis…what are you waiting for?

Grooming Supplies
Dog Grooming Scissors and Other SuppliesDog grooming scissors are a great way to manage your dog's coat without having to pay a professional to cut it for you. Dog grooming shears are affordable, too, and commonly retail for $10-15. If you do not intend to purchase clippers or other dog grooming supplies, pet grooming scissors are still handy to have around. Thinning scissors, as the name implies, helps to thin your dog's coat. Similarly, curved scissors are curved up or down, left or right. It is important to use scissors specifically designed for dog grooming so you don't inadvertently hurt man's best friend. You can touch up recent haircuts, trim around the face, ears, legs, feet, bottom and even remove matted fur. If you're going to give your dog a full-on haircut, keep in mind it won't be flawless the first time. Practice makes perfect!

San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center Review
A long marble staircase alongside a slender fountain with sculpted dolphins welcomes you to the beachfront elegance of this resort. The upper-floor facade isn't much to look at, but don't let that fool you; inside, the colors of cool, cream marble and taupe stone in the lobby are echoed in the guest rooms. The sculptural lines of pink granite on the headboards and armchairs say "Italian villa." All rooms have balconies facing the Gulf, and prices rise with the floor height. New Club Ten guestrooms on the 10th floor offer upgraded linens, down comforters, iPod docking stations, and huge plasma TVs. Back on ground level, step into the meandering (and heated) grotto pool with a rock waterfall set amid coconut palms and bougainvillea; then have a Balinese massage (or a wildflower compress) at the Spa San Luis. The resort offers free parking for the duration of a cruise as well as transportation to the cruise terminal.

Boris Johnson calls for new multi-runway hub airport
Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne are "kidding themselves" if they think Britain can stay internationally competitive without building a new multi-runway hub airport, Boris Johnson has warned.
The Mayor of London called on the Government to follow the example of Hong Kong and overcome their doubts to green light a new airport to the east of London.
Hong Kong's Chep Lap Kok airport is built on land reclaimed from the sea - much like the Mayor's plans for a so-called "Boris island" - and replaced the old airport which was situated in an urban area with no room for expansion.
Mr Johnson said China has "clearly figured out that aviation is absolutely key to economic growth" and claimed the situation bore a resemblance to the Heathrow expansion - a controversial and, according to the Mayor, unworkable option.

In My Father's Den
Description: Paul, a prize-winning war journalist, returns to his remote New Zealand hometown due to the death of his father, battle-scarred and world-weary. For the discontented sixteen-year-old Celia he opens up a world she has only dreamed of. She actively pursues a friendship with him, fascinated by his cynicism and experience of the world beyond her small-town existence. But many, including the members of both their families, frown upon the friendship and when Celia goes missing, Paul becomes the increasingly loathed and persecuted prime suspect in her disappearance. As the violent and urgent truth gradually emerges, Paul is forced to confront the family tragedy and betrayal that he ran from as a youth, and to face the grievous consequences of silence and secrecy that has surrounded his entire adult life.

Blow Your Mind with This "Infinite Zoom" Timelapse Shot on a Smartphone
Nokia recently released a smartphone that shoots 41 megapixel images. What exactly can we videographers do with a phone that shoots photos at 16x the size of high-definition? Paul Trillo shows us, with a video that creates an "infinite zoom" effect by photographing one image per block for 41 New York City blocks with the Nokia Lumia 1020. Check out the video below, and an interview with Paul where he explains to nofilmschool how he made it.
Shot between New York City's Central Park and the Flatiron building, here is a 52-second video showing off what the Nokia Lumia 1020′s PureView technology can do:
Paul Trillo was cool enough to sit down and answer a few questions we had about how he made the Nokia NY 41×41 video.
NFS: So this Infinite Zoom is essentially a picture within a picture within a picture – Inception style? Can you break down what is happening in this video, how you achieved the effect?
Trillo: In order for this effect to work properly, it was important that the images align to the same one-point perspective. The camera had to be placed in the center of the street and taken from exactly the same height. There are a few different grid overlays, so the cross hairs came in handy for matching the horizon line.
The photos were sequenced and stitched together in Adobe After Effects. First, I centered all the photos to the same vanishing point. Each photo had to be masked and retouched in order for the edges to blend seamlessly. After that, I parented the images together with a series of nulls and simply animated the scale. For a quick understanding of how to accomplish an image-within-an-image zoom, I recommend Andrew Kramer's Earth Zoom tutorial.
Take a look at Paul's behind-the-scenes video that gives a quick look at the stitching together process:
NFS: So what are some other real life applications for being able to take a picture of this quality on your smartphone?
Trillo: What's useful about having all that extra wiggle room, is it allows you to re-crop your photos. Lose the extra head room, rotate and level out your horizon line. The Nokia Pro Camera editor allows you to makes all these changes in a non-destructible way. It's really powerful and the processor handles these Photoshop-like edits with ease. Also allowing you to zoom in on things that are normally too far for a standard camera phone to see. The zoom feature on other cell phones is pretty useless.
NFS: Hypothetical use of Nokia Lumia 1020: a guy grabs my Domke bag full of expensive lenses, and I snap a pic of him running away. Will the police be able to zoom in and make an ID on this lowlife?
Trillo: Absolutely, this will prevent crimes. It's totally the camera designed for CSI-style "enhance — enhance" or to notice weird and funny people you didn't even know you were taking a picture of.
NFS: What is the workflow like when shooting these images on the Nokia? How practical would this be to use for, say, photojournalists? Pro photographers?
Trillo: The saying goes "the best camera you have is the one you have with you." This definitely proves that point. The phone has all the manual settings you'd expect from an actual camera. This allows you to rack focus, exposure, shutter speed and white balance. Controlling exposure opens to door the a more shallow depth of field and with the shutter speed you can take long exposures. The camera has the option to shoot at a smaller resolution, if you don't need all those extra megapixels.
I'm looking forward to traveling with it. I could see it being useful if you're looking to be discreet as a photojournalist, the image quality is definitely good enough for print and editorial. Pro photographers will appreciate the camera's functionality, but this phone isn't meant to replace anything at that level.
NFS: Does it shoot video?
Trillo: Sure, the video quality is great. I haven't spent a lot of time with the video feature, but the one thing I did notice is the "jello-warping" is greatly reduced compared to other camera-phones.
NFS: Lastly, how did you not get hit by any NY taxi drivers?
Trillo: With careful tai-chi fluidity, timing traffic lights and running like hell.
Thank you, Paul!
Anybody have any other good ideas on how to use a smartphone that shoots pictures this big? Let us know in the comments below.
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Really cool – I had kinda wondered how they achieved that effect in Limitless
João Marco on 09.27.13 @ 10:42AM
Yes… Limitless opening credits was made like something like that… :-)
Great job…
looked so amazing
hansd on 09.27.13 @ 12:06PM
Great work and amazing visual. When it comes to AE, AK is the man.
Too bad they messed it up in the beginning with too or three photos that looked darker and weren't joined properly. It made the effect evident. I wonder why they left it like that.
But then it went smoothly and was a cool effect. And very time consuming it seems!
JAYEEE on 09.27.13 @ 12:37PM
Really great! Interview made this post really helpful.
JAYEEE on 09.27.13 @ 12:43PM
Dope effect , limitless was a very nice movie, Amazing dp work, always wondered how they acheived effect
And hands down this confirmed that the 1020 nokia pure 41 megapixels is the best camera cell phone to date.
It still amazes me how this phone takes such amazing pictures with such a small sensor and crowded pixels, the software/processor engineering in this phone is amazing, only if it had android
dibakar on 09.27.13 @ 1:14PM
reminds me more of the opening sequence in limitless than inception.
Grant on 09.28.13 @ 4:11AM
I'm pretty sure the Inception comment was a joke [(a dream) (within a dream) (within another dream)]
no mention of how they got the cars out of the shots. seemed to be a pretty empty manhattan. maybe its just really good timing?
Dave Kendricken on 09.27.13 @ 1:49PM
This is pretty goddamn cool
marklondon on 09.27.13 @ 2:02PM
This post is an ad for the phone right?
This is something that's been done in the commercial world many times over the last 20+ years (we used to have to do the move by motion controlling a camera over large slide prints).
/I love the camera in that phone, but i'm not switching to WinPhone for it.
Eric on 09.27.13 @ 2:13PM
I have a hard time believing people who say stuff like "What's useful about having all that extra wiggle room, is it allows you to re-crop your photos. Lose the extra head room, rotate and level out your horizon line." to promote a product.
if you are shooting with this many megapixels this theory only makes sense when you do pretty radical crops. but if you need to do those kind of crops, you are doing something wrong as a photographer. I'm assuming that you still look at the screen or viewfinder when you take a picture, but if your intent is to crop this much, then why bother doing that? just point the camera at a random space and click.
so in real life situations people will still compose their shots in some kind of way, and then possibly do some minimal cropping in post. hardly a real advantage when the big disadvantage is the HUGE files that eat up your SD cards and home storage space. it sucks to have to swap out your SD card after every ten shots ;)
JAYEEE on 09.27.13 @ 5:00PM
Not only that but technically its a medium format compressed camera
You could technically take a photo with this phone and then have it sent off and used as a BILLBOARD picture, albeit it will require a lil editing but technically no other DSLR with exception of d800 is even capable of that without use of phase one soft ware other than that you would need a medium format camera and they are pretty expensive
Dont see what the fuss is about this , its not that serious just a tool and fundamental video write up
@JAYEEE, a high resolution camera is unnecessary for billboards as they are, typically, printed at a very low DPI. With no up-rezing, I have had many billboards printed from files I shot on a 5Dmk2. And the resolution from that camera is not necessary for billboard work.
Also there was a time when 'photojournalism' consisted of getting as close as possible to the subject with a 35mm prime lens, taking snaps and 'zooming' in on them should not even be considered the same occupation, it should be called 'cellphonecropjournalism' or maybe just facebookupdate – instagramism!
PeterK on 09.29.13 @ 9:09PM
Nice joke mate. Lumia's pixel-level quality is horrible. The only way you can compare this to a proper camera with sensor of m4/3 size or larger is if you downsample the image to around 8Mpix. And even then the pixel-level quality is lower than pretty much any m4/3 camera with a kit lens. But of course, all m4/3 cameras nowadays have 16Mpix.
Not all megapixels are created equal. Lumia is great camera for a phone, but it's incomparable with dedicated cameras with large sensors and lenses.
Antony Alvarez on 09.27.13 @ 2:20PM
Would make for a pretty cool 360 degree or even full sphere environment panoramic pictures.
john jeffries on 09.27.13 @ 2:33PM
You know this site has reached consumer rock-bottom when it's posting videos made with phones
Dave Kendricken on 09.27.13 @ 2:57PM
Well, what's so wrong with phones? Anything that makes an image is an image-making tool, right? One example: Parts Unknown recently won an Emmy for Outstanding Cinematography in Nonfiction. http://www.emmys.com/shows/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown
On shooting the show, Bourdain says: "In fact, we've used our cell phones to shoot footage for the show in the last few weeks… what we're allowed to do, when the situation calls for it, is really mix it up. We're using Letus, we're using Sonys, we're using Canon 7D SLRs, we're using cell phones, we're using Go Pros. It's a whole mixed bag we can really mix it up more technologically on CNN."
Why not?
JAYEEE on 09.27.13 @ 4:57PM
If this would have been a basic repost or an ordinary cell phone i would hear you loud and clear, however this is not an ordinary phone.
This phone and pureview technology captures photos in the right condition better than point and shoot or dedicated professional camera.
They even did a comparison with this phone compared to hassleblad
Tyler on 09.27.13 @ 6:29PM
And the hassleblad won the prize for being a better camera. Dont' trick yourself. A hassleblad is made for production. It's built for production. It can do everything this camera can do, but better.
I don't even know why this is relevant. This guy is taking photos, not video. Jesus. What is even happening here anymore?
July_No_October on 09.27.13 @ 9:21PM
Tyler, do you live near Boston? If so, you should let me know where you live so I can dive your dumpsters for the hundred-thousand-dollars worth of cameras you must just toss out every few months as soon as they're no longer the best, and thus no longer relevant. I'm especially interested in these cameras that manage to take video without taking several photographs per second. It must be nice not to have dropped frames and everything.
Also, by running down a piece of viable equipment, you run the risk of stifling innovation on the off chance someone decided to listen to you and that would propel you to the status of being a bummer incarnate forever immortalized on the internet. Think of your great-grand children.
TL;DR (recommended) This is cool and nobody really cares that you think it's not relevant.
Natt on 09.27.13 @ 3:32PM
Cool effect, noticed it in "Limitless" couple years ago.
Ian B on 09.27.13 @ 4:58PM
This is really cool.
awesome!! love the breakdown! Paul is a film-maker who knows how to use smart visual techniques to tell good stories! you should check out his other projects too!
Sebastian Roland on 09.27.13 @ 6:17PM
yeah limitless
Anon on 09.27.13 @ 7:14PM
It's the Google Street View effect on steroids.
Anthony Marino on 09.27.13 @ 8:41PM
Tough crowd. This article just showed us moving 8k images that looked amazing, so what it's from a cell phone? Wait till the mechanism comes out that takes 24, 48, 60, 120 fps from this puppy and an app that mimics hawk lenses. Haha, then what?
maghoxfr on 09.27.13 @ 11:11PM
The video was cool. But this article felt like an advertising rather than related to filmmaking.
Dave on 10.4.13 @ 10:01AM
Running red lights is always fun to watch.
i actually think this looks really bad.
DENNIS JACIW on 10.5.13 @ 6:59PM
Great joke…..we all had a great laugh here lol. Even if it could be done….the quality would be extremely poor.
