We had a great half day expedition to the historic Oroville Chinese Temple Museum with a group of fellow photographers in November. Above is one of our images of the alter in the main temple of the museum complex. The temple dates from the 1860s when there was a large and active Chinese community in Oroville.

Marketed as the "Smart Camera Assistant", the relatively new Arsenal remote camera controller is an interesting little device. It is the brainchild of software developer and amateur landscape photographer Ryan Stout. While its primary market appears to be for point-and-shoot photographers, our initial interest was in the manual and time-lapse modes. The new company had a very successful Kickstarter campaign having raised $2,650,310. We were intrigued so we bought one to try it out.

We had a great expedition to Bandon, Oregon (and points nearby) with a group of fellow photographers in early August. The weather was mostly overcast, which is expected this time of year, and custom made for some long exposures. We always enjoy sharing the experience with other photographers and learning from them. We had a great group on this trip. Here are a few of our images from the trip. We plan to post more soon.
