. . . do not always work out. This morning I went to our local lake for some morning light shots. I took the Sony A1, the big 600mm lens and a 1.4 tc. As I set up on the board walk, at my feet the morning breakfast buffet started. Of course, it was almost impossible to get the action with my "big time" array.

To the rescue, I balanced my array in one hand and used my iPhone to catch the breakfast action.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
