Finally found a use for a tripod
« on: June 18, 2018, 19:10:42 »
Shooting mostly candid street photography as I do, my tripod spends much of it's lonely existence in the trunk of my car. A few years ago as part of a self-assignment on "Useful photographic tricks I've learned over the years" I enlisted the help of a photobud who is a wonderful photographer and a good sport to help me with this shot.
motorized Nikon F2AS
Tamron SP 35~105 2.8 AIS manual focus
Fuji 100 ISO colour slide
probably 5.6 @ 1/125th

Bjorn, Golunvolo, Tim,
Thanks for commenting.
It is a good idea for when one is out photographing in Nature's Splendor, and She calls.

You need to ensure that you have a tripod that allows some movement.

Robert, I don't think this idea will catch on - just a passing fad?  ;D

Netr, Hugh,
Thanks for commenting.
I can't believe how many really crappy puns this photo has generated. I was hoping people would be more serious so perhaps we could start a movement for when Natures calls Nature Photographers.

Well this certainly wipes out preconceived ideas about tripods.  ::)
