Once again I promise that this will be a quick tip. I have to get ready for my Basics of Digital Photography course which begins next week, and I also have a New England Photography Guild blog article due in a couple of days. I'm still waiting for the appearance of the relaxation part of my retirement.
This week, I have a very simple story to tell. Let's see if I can tell it simply.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant tip! I found your blog after looking for an arca-swiss compatible monopod, had no idea I could just make one myself!
