Accrington Web - Today in pictures

Because I like to stay in my car and keep dry (no wet gusset) I use this little attachment to hold the camera. It is very stable and will support the camera even when the 400mm lens is attached, the lens has a tripod clamp so the weight is balanced.

I use a either a two second shutter delay or an app on the iphone which controls the shutter remotely, the iphone screen shows the same scene as the camera viewfinder and avoids camera shake when the shutter is pressed.
OK, it's not much use scrambling through the undergrowth but I leave that to the davemacs of this world.

I also have a monopod which has a rubber grip to screw on to it's thread so it doubles as a walking aid. It was about thirty quids and is worth every one of them.

That's a natty piece of kit, I never knew such a thing existed.

It is a neat bit of kit......but no good for use on the bus......can't wind the windows down :).

I have one of those Gorilla things....it is very good....and I got it cheap off Flea bay.

4. Bull Rushes spreading seeds.
5. The stream as it feeds into Jackhouse Reservoir.
6. A change in height from what was the top res.
7. How am I going to get back down now.
8. The stream now feeds through the now drained top res.
