I'll let you in on a little secret, though: No tripod...just braced on the ground or a convenient rock and held still with my left hand while the right operates the "shutter". One time I needed a few inches more height, so I took off my shoe and rested the matchbox on that. :) In a way, these photos were inspired by you. I'd been feeling the need to shoot some spring prettiness (something about this time of year) but you've done such a great job with your spring flowers I was afraid mine would be a let-down...plus I've got no macro. So, I decided some blur in the wind and pinhole matchboxes might be a nice way to go. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration! There are a few more here...shooting into the sun can give some crazy flare in a pinhole... http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/PinholeMatchbox/2006_03_19_PinholeMatchboxFlowers/index.html Best, Aaron >Aaron, >I like your swishy daffodils.
