Ornithologist Arlo Raim from the US was also a radio amateur with a home CallSign: KB9LLF - went silent key on 20th August, 2010.
He was perhaps the best bird tracker in the world. You can read about it at:
In the amateur or ham radio jargon, a deceased ham radio operator is referred to as "Silent Key" - meaning that his telegraph or wireless key has gone quite. The wireless key is a device use to send out Morse codes - a series of dots and dashes over the airwaves.
i love the way you catch this detail and look at things at different angles.
ReplyDeletei would also love to get some kind of help from you as you have mentioned in your article about photography for budding photographers in Bhutan. i also love to take photo and am seriously thinking to dedicate my self in this art of photography, but lack the skill and training. Just now i am just fiddling and trying my best. Sherub Phuntsho.

Hi Sherub
ReplyDeleteYes, I have seen your photos in your blog - I get the feeling that you like more abstract images :)
I looked at your shot of the Thala splashing into the water - nice shot.
You should try that shot with your camera settings in M mode. Crank up the ISO so that you get higher shutter speed. That will enable you to get even sharper image. Ofcourse that image you have is reasonably sharp - but you can get it even sharper. Come to think of it, I might want to try to shoot the same image when I have time :)
Hi Kosuke
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
Well I hope we can meet over tea when you are in Thimphu. But I am travelling constantly - so I am not sure.
In the next 1-2 days, I will be going down to the South and as of the 17th to about 20th Sept.. I will be out again. There after I will be on a 2-weeks trek to Gangkharpuensum Base camp :)
thank you very much and i will try that also.
