That looks pretty cool but were you ever concerned that a law enforcement officer might stroll by and mistake your device for something else?
It's happened. I was photographing elk in Rocky Mountain National Park and someone driving by thought I was hunting them and called the rangers. The two rangers who showed up were impressed with the set-up though.

When I learned to shoot a rifle the DI said, hod it like you would hold a woman and press the trigger like you would press he love button, the same hold true when shooting a camera.

Perhaps some will take exception to my thoughts on this but, this breed should be eliminated. They are simply too unpredictable and dangerous. Not all, but 95% give the rest of the breed a bad rap.
And...just like that, I am done with this thread...even though I want to comment on Judge Judy so badly. Thank you for the lively discourse folks, but I have to go snuggle on the sofa with my not so dangerous, pretty darn predictable and ever so lovable pit bulls now.

Like any dog, the bully breeds need rules and structure. Maybe a little more so, as for good or bad these dogs have to be better model citizens than most other breeds to counteract the negative perceptions...but they are worth the time and effort.

I won't try to change anyone's opinions, as to each their own. I personally love pitties, and believe that with proper training and socialization they are great. I respect someone's opinion on not wanting to be around a dog they do not feel comfortable with, but I wish the breeds (plural, multiple breeds are considered under the "pit bull" umbrella) were not demonized.
Years ago they were known as the nanny dogs, as they were the ones you wanted to look after your kids, but nowadays the breeds get a bad rap, mostly due to their owners and the situations they're put in. And the media does not help, as a pit bull attack makes great news. A vicious chihuahua, not so much.
The brindle is Lexye, we rescued her a little over 8 years ago in Miami, FL. She is a mutt, but mostly pit bull mixes with some shepherd as well. Absolutely loves people, in her mind a stranger is simply a person who hasn't pet her yet.
The grey dog is Logan, we rescued him 2 years ago. A Staffordshire Terrior (one of the breeds considered a "pit bull") mix, loves other dogs but is very shy and skittish around people he doesn't know. While his first instinct if approached by a stranger would be to get low and run fast, if he felt cornered he could potentially bite...so we don't set him up for failure by letting strangers try to pet him. Loves to snuggle with people he knows though.

You can say that again! Man! The looks I got when I wore that! 😂
I know those looks. I got them at the 2014 Denver Gorilla Run, when my friends and I ran (slowly) a 5K wearing Gorilla Suits and pink camo! I'm the handsome gorilla on the left...
We did win best costume that year, but that may have been mostly out of sympathy for our friend Denise, who was undergoing treatment for cancer.

Hmmm...vintage. The Coast Guard training ship Eagle, looking down at the bow from the top of the foremast. Taken with a Kodak Disc Camera in 1984.

Wonderful exposures. A good friend of mine went into the Coast Gard many years ago and was assigned to the ice breaker North Wind. He had a wonderful time.
Great pics.

Dang, now I have to throw the small world flag, Gary. My first assignment in the Coast Guard after the Academy was on the Northwind. That's me, front row all the way to the left.
