Very nicely framed again Ivar. Di you have to pan this shot?!

Thank you Pete, and no. It's done with xe1 and 18-55mm at its widest in the north of Norway.

Superb Ivar and what a backdrop. Stunning. That is me at the moment, seriously struggling on two crutches. So I have the fullest admiration for the guy to even get out and about. Maybe I need one of those trollies.

Sorry to hear that, Julian. Temporary, I hope?

Sad to hear or rather see what you say and like Rob I hope it's just temporary. All the best to you and thanks.

Thanks Rob. Not temporary sadly. Yet this summer I have to have a major op, which hopefully will alleviate some of the pain. Thing is I can at least still get the odd photo or two, certainly not in environments, or the kind I'd wish to, or see on occasions, it is a struggle .
Yet love life and will never complain, it is what it is and nowt can change that. Off out in a while to find a picture. It is challenging and for myself quite amusing ,trying to carry a camera bag and tripod with two crutches. It certainly reinforces my admiration for those who are given severe obstacles to overcome in life, from wherever they manifest themselves.

I am not being disrespectful of your situation when I say; maybe you are right, maybe a trolley like that would help you in your situation. I hope though that things shall change to the better for you Julian. All the best to you.

Too bad, Julian. Such a pity. However, I think there is scope here for you to make your mark by inventing the Tripocrutch! You might make millions
I hope it helps, knowing that we all admire your photography highly...

Thank you Rob.
I do actually have an idea of an attachment , or an alteration to the tripod head which would get a thumbs up from myself . I'm going to ask advise from the local marine engineer, on Mevagissey harbour, the next time he has a moment . I doubt if it can be patented as in some ways it is extending an idea that already exists, although giving it an added use. It will enable the tripod to be used in a way which has been tried before but in a much more simplified way.
So next time I post an image taken with a Leica M monochrome Summilux-M + Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95 ASPH. you know I've succeeded
