my glass i saw: Sardine Street

[Brian Moore]

Terminal Island, California. For this shot I steadied the camera on top of a block of wood I found lying on the corner of the street. (I really ought to carry a tripod around in the car.)

I used the Canon T50 and a Canon FD 28mm lens for this shot.

Or maybe just a block of wood!! Love the texture and tones on the LH side and the perspective that the customised wooden camera support has provided.

 

[Brian Moore]

Good point, Pete. Block of wood = cheaper! LOL!

Thanks for the comments.

I can see you're going to get yourself arrested Brian - wandering around terminal island at night with a block of wood in your hand!

I like the unusual low perspective on the street - now if they'd been a big rat in the foreground...

 

[Brian Moore]

LOL! There was nary a rat in sight, Chris. I probably scared them all away with my club,...excuse me,...wooden tripod.

 

[Paul Lange]

Why don't you have the best of both and buy a wooden tripod?

 

[Pete Askew]

Good idea Paul, that could never be construed to be an offensive weapon...

Have you ever come across the "gorilla pod" Brian?
I think it would suit you perfectly!

 

[Brian Moore]

Yes, Hamish, I'm familiar with the Gorilla Pod and I was thinking about getting one until Pete suggested just carrying that block of wood around. Thanks for the tip.
