Saw this spider eating this poor ladybug. It is a cruel world.
No ideal circumstances, i had to shoot against the sun or fall of a platform

High ISO is a... miracle

Bit of a change from LF?:ROTFL:

Have always loved your BW tones and sensibility.

Thank you - Yes, a big change

As a tourist in Paris, there was no way I could carry a tripod around - never mind a view camera. The NEX-7 with 18-55 kit lens fit in a jacket pocket.

Ken, as a Parisian, I face that same tripod problem, and have found multiple partial solutions. The obvious one is to check whether there are any surfaces where I can lay down the camera and get the shot I want. Not often, but sometimes it works. The second possibility is a Manfrotto table-top tripod on the ground. It can't work when there are lots of people walking by, but it is fine in quieter parts,where I can do it disceetly and neither bother anyone nor be told off. The third one is a Cullmann harness that is not as effective as a tripod, but lets me go down to about 1/4s. Hope this helps!

 

[KenLee]

Thank you - excellent suggestions.

To keep the camera steady, I set the ISO fairly high, held the camera against my abdomen and looked down at the LCD to compose the shots: a "poor-man's harness" I guess.
