I collected rocks too... but it takes time and my hands got dirty
(tisk-tisk). Now I figure, hey, I gotta put my camera bag _somewhere_ so I
might as well hang it on the tripod and keep it off the ground and clean,
and its faster too.

Someone once showed me an example of the effect of mirror slap/shutter shake
that really stuck in my mind. He mounted the camera normally onto his tripod
and put a glass of water on top, resting on the flash shoe. When the system
fired off a frame you could clearly see the ripples of water in the glass.
Made a believer out of me.
