Well, Pentax seems to have knocked one out of the park with the K-5.
Now if they could only avoid missteps, (K-01, an EVIL camera without the

I was just thinking that I hadn't done anything in BW in a while, and
this lent itself to a conversion. Nothing really special, just an
illustration of hydraulic pressure in the form of a tree seedling over time.

Can't help thinking this would be even a bigger smack-down if he'd

I've gotten tired of scaring up my pod every time I take the damned
thing into the woods. It's a Manfrotto 679B which with ball head is 28
1/2 inches from tip to screw with ball head attached. The only Monopod
bag I've been able to find that looks like it might do the job is this one.
Thats very nice - good tonal range, good light, interesting subject..
