I like that Brian from the soft foliage on the left to the single vehicle. Sort of like a movie scene again - an abduction in the making? The victim is about to walk up the path on the left!!
I've heard they do a lightweight version of angle adjuster as well now - the IspenttoomuchmoneyoncamerasandthemissuschuckedmeoutsoIdon'thaveahousekeyanymoremarkI. I believe there is a version for the X-Pro 1 coming out (SWMBOspottedmetakingpicturesofyoungladiesinbikiniskeypodangleadjuster) - I think Chris has been thinking of getting one!!
No Chris. It was a single shot. I must give credit to Canon. It's the magic of auto exposure. I find the T50 and also the Oly XA to handle night shots quite nicely. Now I must say the same for the T70.
Thanks very much Paul. I must say there was a bit of luck involved since framing the image was pure guesswork, given that the camera was on the carroofpod. Took me a few minutes to set up and steady the camera and judge my aim. Got it framed about as good as I could I think. Thank you Paul.
Thanks very much, Kev. The carroofpods are certainly dear and not entirely user friendly for the money, but they're fast!Just waiting for Mulder and Scully to appear from behind the van...nice atmosphere Brian, nice also to see you making use of those expensive carpods..
I've used the groundpod (Often referred to as a "turfpod" I do believe) as well as the kneepod. I've also used the indexforefingerpod (albeit primarily for framing adjustments). I've not yet used the thumbpod, though. I must try it. Are there any, er, rules of thumb you'd recommend, Kev?I have found the groundpod system to be a useful piece of kit and recently thumbpod, a cheap version of the kneepod
As a rule of thumb the right index finger should be used to fire the shutter whilst the left index finger is used to lock the camera into the mount of the total pod system, however, it may help if the optional elbow attachments are used spread to their full extent to ensure a sturdy pod system. This system is not liked by SWMBO's who often refer to it as the 'Youbinlyinginthemudpod!'
Hope you find this instruction useful..Brian
I use that one quite regular when out with the Macro lens, the tripod usually scares critters away so I use the "Liyinginthemudpod" tooThis system is not liked by SWMBO's who often refer to it as the 'Youbinlyinginthemudpod!'
.
I use an integrated system...
The thumbpod is connected to the handpod,
the handppod is connected to the wristpod...
etc, etc
Is that the one that keeps drooping???
