I came up with an excrutiatingly simple way to hold the turntable bridge at Terminal District steady while equipment moves on and off of it. Those abnormally attracted to electronic complexity and mysteries may want to turn their heads and not view it in polite surroundings

I had to send my Fuji S3 DSLR in for repair, so have been using my Fuji S9000 P&S as a backup. However, it would not focus down as close as I wanted, so I used a 58mm #2 Close Up lense attachment from my Bronica days. It is the same size as the lense accessory threads on the Fuji I had to focus the camera manually, but it worked. That's why I posted the photo above for the group's examination. I know, I know, I probably could have used a photo editing program to produce the same results (I did crop the photo and reduce the size for posting), but as an "old schooled" photographer, I wanted to start with as sharp an original image as I could. This was only a test image, and I think I can still do better. Judge for yourselves, but it worked well for my purposes.
