Tonight I went to St Andrews to see the Students' musical theatre putting on a wonderful performance of Spring Awakening.
I deliberately went a little early to try to grab some photos. When I got there, I found that it was slightly raining, and it was bitterly cold. I went out and around with my Gorillapod and my G10, and stopped in horror when I found that the historical buildings were not, in fact, illuminated!
So, back to the car. I knew that I had packed my old 350D. Maybe, just maybe, the Gorillapod would be strong enough to hold it, if I stuck to the original kit lens.
I have to say I was delighted with the results - and equally - perhaps more so - with the show 
First was St Andrew's Castle, a ten-second exposure illuminated by a couple of streetlamps maybe 50 yards from the castle.

My Gorillapod was wrapped round the railings (the site was closed by that time in the evening) and I was amazed that it was able to hold the camera tightly enough. As you can see from the clouds, there was quite a wind (and for the record, it was damned chilly!)
