    Ha! How I wish the law of physics can be broken. ) The wind break is a nice idea, I had a hard time picturing a spider because it kept swaying in the wind.

    Those crappy signs on the roadside offer the universal stick-it-in-the-ground holder upper thing too.

    It seems odd that nobody (as far as I can tell) has asked what your preferred subject is or where you want to shoot. It makes a tremendous difference.



    (Shot on a Crown Graphic, 150mm lens, 6x9 back, tripod mounted in studio, with flash, maybe around half-size on the film, heavily cropped scan).

What might be the lowest shutter speed to use without necessary blur?
    I have uncommonly steady hands, and I cannot handhold a camera at 1;1 and get acceptable results at any shutter speed, including 1/2000 second.

    I bought my F100 to take advantage of my FX VR lens. I am definitely getting older and not steadier.

    But.... there is no substitute for a tripod.

    I've used a flash with a duration down to 1/32000 sec handheld at close distances, it does work pretty well.
