The Virtues of Lamp Shade Posts
Who would have thought?
According to David Pogue's NYT column this week, lamp shade posts can be of surprising virtue to a photographer. I quote:
The tripod mount on the bottom of most digital cameras has exactly the same thread diameter as a typical hotel lampshade post. In a pinch, you can unscrew the lampshade and use the exposed screw on the lamp itself to steady your camera.
And no. I'm not going to wonder about how exactly he figured this one out. Draw your own conclusions.
