jwear's wildlife monopod tutorial

[jeff lapoint]

shot with jwear yesterday. he was kind enough to show me around Bolsa Chica in Huntington beach. i just got a new telephoto and am learning to use a monopod. jeff decided to give an imprompto lesson...

first he *dropped* his lens hood into the water from the wooden bridge. then he attached a bungee cord to the monopod and went fishing
