Monkey business

resized_001 

Which way’s up? In case you are confused, you are looking at an upside-down image. Yea, my D70 just got a new lease of life – as a stuntman. Ever since it sprouted legs it has been trying out all sorts of weird poses at home. These legs aren’t cheap, considering that they are already OEM products, but are pretty solid, capable of handling even the d300+80-200 combo. It takes some experience to get the legs in the strongest position though, and i’ll need to find a suitable ballhead for this contraption. It isn’t easy making fine composition adjustments when u’re upside down.

I’m already considering the smaller sized models to hold up my flash, and in case i get a compact camera, provided a decent one is available.
