Circus World Museum and Photography
Feb. 22nd, 2004 09:23 amOne of the things we had done shortly before going to the Circus World Museum was to buy monopods for our cameras. This was done to allow longer-exposure shots a better chance of success because it helps stabilize the camera without providing as much bulk to carry around as a monopod would.
Photographing circus wagons at CWM also provided another use for a monopod - it gives the photographer very long arms. I can take pictures from as high as 12' off the ground, or reach into windows of wagons, or around corners, etc.
Examples:
First we have a caliope wagon (the angle is a little extreme because there wasn't much space between the wagons where they were parked in the wagon barn). Second is the Giraffe Wagon (if you look closely in the giraffe's-eye view, you should be able to find![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teeka).
And, finally, the Eastern Hemisphere Wagon (I don't have as good a pic of the Western Hemisphere one):
(800x470) (2672x1571)
