AM There's nothing casual about it. It is required to maintain the necessary level of balance, establishing the requisite three points of contact. Notice the third point in this shot - the contact between the tongue and the tripod. Edited August 31, 2019 by Mick Bonwick 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ardbealach Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 And I thought that the purpose of the tongue was to help in fine detailing and accuracy , either pushed out into one side of the mouth - or straight out between the teeth and lips?

Suddenly, the Grand Plan becomes clear to all: Step 1) Spend years to develop large railway modelling website Step 2) Negotiate agreement with nationwide railway modelling magazine Step 3) Expand job description at said magazine to include layout photography Step 4) Use layout photography job to nudge canopies nationwide Amazing what nudging addicts will do to fulfill their cravings. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it me or is that tripod upside down? There does seem to a tripod leg in the foreground pointing the wrong way. A self inflicted nudge perchance? Has a clever double back with somersault tongue grab saved the day? Is the hand on hip part of an elaborate dismount, caught in the fleeting moment of the camera shutter's gaze?

ardbealach Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Scanning my slide collection I came across this image from 2003. It was taken at the Dresden Steam Festival - an annual open weekend with East German steam locomotives at the Dresden Steam shed. Could this individual be one of the first Nudgers, complete with his safety sun hat, obligatory full size rucksack, built in camera resting on his front side, and a pair of trainers to allow a quick getaway? Not forgetting the ladder for easier access for canopy nudging. Of course he will be slighter smaller than a UK version, being in H0 gauge - this being in Dresden.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted September 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 16, 2019 This is Helmut Von Picklesucker, Dresden 's premier mobile lollipop retailer in all his finery. He was a regular at railway events in the former East Germany. He would stroll about shouting, "Lassen sie sich von diesen großen schönheiten zum lachen bringen !" 1 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
