L-bracket
I got an L-bracket today. It must be the single most expensive piece of camera equipment I’ve bought in relation to what it does. Because, it really doesn’t do anything. It just sits there attached to the camera and then every once in a while I attach the gear on the tripod. It’s a precision crafted one-piece lightweight aluminium camera plate for the 20D body without the grip that only pros and dedicated amateurs buy… and the price goes up. I would’ve had to get an anti-twist camera plate anyway since the small Novoflex universal plate I have has driven me crazy from day one, so I thought I would splash out on the L-bracket instead. And let’s face it, the anti-twist plates are not exactly budget either.

We have a snow storm here. It’s not a snow storm in the scale of the northern America, and not even up to biggest storms we have in Sweden… but just about as bad as it gets in this region. We are far north from the deceptively mild winters in the southern Sweden and far south from the Arctic circle, somewhere in between the coast and the mountains. Extreme weather just doesn’t exist here. I know I should be grateful for that… but surely a proper snow storm every once in a while is not too much to ask? Anyway, I’m looking forward to tomorrow - my first chance to see the new snow scenery in daylight. I will be out shooting and enjoying myself and it will also be interesting to see how the L-bracket performs! Well, if L-brackets can perform, at all. They just are there.
