Hi Amita thanks -- that shot was very lucky - for the most part I'm getting more and more annoyed with the Optio on some fronts and liking it on others... I really splurged upping that z10 to w60... there is still far too much noise at all levels, but being waterproof is definitely a

Nice shot, Ann. I don't remember those tents. In my Union Square days there was just a small farmer's market on the Broadway side of the park. Have you ever read /Time and Again/ by Jack Finney? Much of it takes place in the Union Square, Gramercy Park and Lady's Mile neighborhoods, circa

Ann told me she has a collapsible chest pod she can use, though I suspect it's sized for looking into a viewfinder, which makes the LCD hard to see. I suggested she look around for an old movie camera handle with the proper threads. Mine has a leather wrist strap to tension against with
