Daves View
Flowing.....
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 19 November 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
I played with a Gorillapod for the first time while taking this shot, my camera was hung precariously over the wtaer, with the legs of the tripod wrapped around a railing. It's more than a little bit disconcerting having an expensive bit of kit dangling in space, but it all worked out ok, and I knda like this shot!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

@Betsy Barron : www.thebetsy.com: The gorillapods work really well actually Betsy, although I kept my camera looped around my neck until I was sure it was secure!

Absolutely sumptuous tones, and the smooth silky textures are completely WOW in this one, Dave. Stunning composition.

Gorillapod? Never heard of them. I have just had a look on Amazon and their really cheap. Your right though very dubious leaving your camera dangling like that but it worked a treat. It's a great shot as it's different from the norm.

@Jon: Gorillapods are alot of fun, well worth the money spent!
