Need a camera strap? Use a rifle sling in a pinch.

Guns and cameras, together again
Dr. Strangegun has an illustrated post on detail-stripping a 1911. The camera part is his light rig, which is amazingly practical. I think I have that same tripod (it’s a Sunpak, right?) and I have a basically similar clamp-on worklight … Continue reading
Oleg’s tilt-shift photography
