Hi Ben,When you try shots like this, do you use a tripod or monopod with your Leica or do you hand hold? I have recently been carrying a small home made bean bag in my left hand. I find a solid perch of some sort and nestle the M6 into the bean bag. It works brilliantly most of the time, but quite often I lose focus dramatically because the focussing lever is moved by the bloody bean bag! Anyone have other suggestion for long exposures on the run? Ted? Donal? Rob
