Rear View/ Here View
Since my previous tests based on frames from the standoff at the end of The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and the subsequent feedback from Richard with reference to Taxi Driver, I had wanted to take my camera into the car to try some tests using the rear view mirror. I also want to do some tests using my bathroom mirror and perhaps other mirrors in the house.
As mentioned previously I am also trying to find a better technical solution for remote shooting self portraits as currently the process requires much trial and error and is more time consuming than it should be. I have in theory found a solution using a wireless connection (wi-fi) between camera and a remotely positioned tablet, combined with a wireless radio trigger to activate the camera autofocus and shutter.
This would allow me to position the tablet in a location I would need to be looking for the shot and simultaneously check my expression, the framing and focus of the shot while the small remote radio trigger would be discretely in my hand.
I was hoping to test this set up today with the radio trigger that arrived yesterday, however the trigger appears to be faulty and will need returning so I resorted to my existing clumsy (for self portraits) method of remote shooting to make the images below.
