I couldn't put it on the slippery rocks either, the position of the camera would be too low... All I could think of at the time was to use one of my Nikon F2s, level it somewhat by placing a hood underneath one side of it and balance my M3 on the top of the Nikon's prismfinder. I didn't bring a cable release, so I had to use the self-timer. Since I wanted to catch the waves when rolling back, I had to time the release of the self-timer very carefully. I only had time for two exposures before the light was gone. This is one of them. Johan Doumont - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
