I started the project with Catalyst and implemented some of the core features and content pages with it. Then I started a side project to test Dancer framework.

Canon Angle Finder C was the thing that I expected to revolutionize my shooting style. I was expecting it to be very easy to shoot from lower positions with it. Actually it didn't help much. I think this is because it is not flexible: you can't change the angle. In practical action photography you will soon find yourself returning back to the standard shooting position and putting Canon Angle Finder C back to your bag. Currently I have not much use for it. text/html 2023-02-20T23:37:13+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://heikkisiltala.net/wiki/en/photography/camera_stuff/seculine_zigview_s2?rev=1676936233&do=diff Seculine Zigview S2 Written in 2007, latest update 2011.
