grrrrr... Oh well.
(you mean "the taker"?). It was my Birthday that day, and I'd received the cable release as a present. I'd also recently purchased a monopod, so I went out to try them both out for the first time. I discovered that I could now comfortably reach places I couldn't before. It was really cool, testing out all the possibilities with such a set-up. The camera strap frequently gets in my way with the camera on a tripod/monopod, so I sometimes use it as a brace to keep it out of the way and to steady the camera. This is not always possible, however. Soon, I will be receiving a quick release camera strap, so I will have the choice to conveniently remove it when I need to. BTW, the second pic was not taken by me, but we were photographing the same flowers, so the story still fits anyway.
. But going out taking pictures with my new set-up did greatly improve the day 
. I did manage to escape the soggy knees, mainly thanks to the new set-up, but I wouldn't have minded getting dirty anyway.
