After taking a shedload of bad pictures in Brugge thanks to poor lighting/evening walks and no tripod, I realized I needed to put something into my travel bag. I refuse to lug around a tripod as pictures are a byproduct of our trip – not the goal. I was contemplating a monopod, which looked pointless.

Until I came across this wonderful little invention, the Gorilla Pod. Not only does it solve the stability issue (A key tip for night shooting that I recently read was to use the timer on the camera to avoid the shaking when pressing the button if you do not have a remote), it allows me to get into a few more pictures AND is a second tripod for our every important Lego movie shoots. Cool – and very compact.

                                              

Interesting positioning …. watch me 3 putt this ….
