Subject: [Leica] IMG: Monopod Experiment

Since I'm not as stable on my feet as I was when I was younger, I 
decided to try using a monopod to form a human tripod.? Though it 
hampered sudden response to the movement of my butterflies, I'm 
convinced that I got sharper images.? Look at the eyes of the Swallowtail.

This little "Yellow Fellow" lingered for a few seconds and was gone.? I 
assume he is some form of Sulphur Butterfly.

Conclusion:? The monopod is worth the awkwardness that it adds to moving 
around and tracking a subject.
