Well, crude as it may be, the monopod shoulder stock works.  I was able to 
achieve better sharpness and use smaller apertures while shooting in manual 
mode today.  As usual, the squirrel was the best subject available today, 
but even he kept ducking behind a post.

In this shot, he definitely was keeping an eye on me and my strange 
contraption.

E-510 with Leica Telyt-R 250/4, 2X, Monopod with shoulder stock, ISO 400, 
1/200 at f/8, cropped horizontal from a vertical image, and, unlike Dr. Ted, 
I was leaning against a wall.  At 82, I think that is permissible.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
