Selfie sticks......

Though in Japan in November I did see a huge number of Pens of all vintages, and a couple of OM-D, and of course a colossal number of smart-phones, many on those annoying selfie sticks.

Hey! Crotchety old guy! LOL!

Guess what I got among the few Christmas presents that I get nowadays? Yes indeed, a selfie stick!

No smart-phones in my life. Need a camera that has a kick forward LCD and a way to trigger so luckily my Casio ZR1000 pocket camera does that, the LCD bends up over the top, and the trigger is by waving your hand in a particular part of the image. So I can join the stick wielding people and poke a few eyes out.

I have to say I think they are hilarious. But what are short-armed people to do when they can't switch to wider angle lens?

Actually they are good for different viewpoints, up high above a fence, around corners if bullets are flying and so on. After all it's just a small mono-pod with an optional cradle to suit phones. Bluetooth thing to trigger it so is a neat package.

Regards.... Guy
