what i did with my tripod

get some double sided velcro. cut a length about twice the circumference of a leg of the tripod

wrap it round the leg, but include a large key ring type ring.

then at the other end of the tripod extend the centre coloum slightly and do the same as the leg

then take the strap off your laptop bag and clip each end to the two rings on the tripod

it works a treat and cheap

Brilliant idea Steve, thanks for the suggestion!

Nice shot, but her eyes are looking a bit… creepy…

I think it’s really nice even with the bubbles. Agreed it would look cleaner, but I like that it’s not (at least doesn’t appear) touched up.

Would be worth seeing it in b+w. Nice and sharp as can be seen by the cranes.
Good clouds also.

Couple of things. Not sure if the image is straight. Check out the leaning building on the right ?
Pity there are blown out highlights in the centre, but then again if thats the sun in there, you’ll
probably get some anyhow.

Tip: You should edit the post and repost in a smaller size image, say 800 at its longest as some members won’t be able
to see it all at once and it might also take too long for it to load onto their screens.

Cheers for the tips Mark. Good point about the orientation… I’m not sure if it’s straight or not… the cranes look alright, but I think the building looks that way due to my proximity to it. I kinda like the brightness of the sun in the middle, kinda gives a good contrast to the silhouettes of the cranes and buildings
