Woo. Last night I managed to break my long D70S drought. I hacked together an effective monopod using a piece of bamboo, and some brackets, nuts and bolts from the Photo egg – stood back to admire my handiwork – and then tromped around Newtown and St.Peters taking steadier-than-usual pictures of things. I tend to venture around at night, so having a steady platform is important for nice long exposures. (Also, you get to feel like some kind of druid carrying a staff around.)

Today I headed of to the Nunnery bike co-op to finally finally get a back brake. I’m sure we can all agree on the advantages of a backup brake, that combined with the front can actually stop the combined momentum of a rider and bike at the bottom of a hill.
