I don't know all of David's secrets, but the shoulder stock makes a BIG
difference. I've been using a combination of the shoulder stock and a
monopod, and to test the limits of usability I recently photographed a
ground squirrel that had taken refuge from the heat in the shade of a parked
car. The photograph is quite boring but I found that when I use the stock &
pod and lean against something solid I can still get extremely sharp photos
at 1/15 sec with a 280mm lens.
