A friend demonstrating the one legged articulated counterbalanced human monopod stance that only young people can achieve  :) makes my knees ache just looking !

It looks like he's running ! ;D

When I am shooting in this way, I squat my right leg, kneeling my left one and rest my right elbow on right knee, so I am then a very sturdy Bipod ... :)

Please excuse me for my double-posting this image.  I couldn't resist.  But I refrain from posting it to the "selfies" thread.  ;)

Veery passionate to use a 14-24 on the F3 that cannot handle this lens :D Nice support for the camera though.

I think it was shot this way to underline the whole fantasy element.

Of course Elsa and her set up is well within any limits of imagination - but here on NG we take the opportunity to point out potential points for further improvement :D

see - now this is where my knowledge (lack thereof) of film cameras comes in :)  Its a F-501 or something

Good point Bjørn - now please explain why :) as I dont have a clue. Its an old camera I use on studio as as prop. It looked funny without a lens :)
