For those of us in the Portland area on a Friday afternoon, it is still a 2-4 day drive...traffic...

Heh, we ran into that going thru Astoria on a Sunday afternoon. Bumper to bumper, stop-n-go for miles down 30/101... Urgh...

First ripe tomato of the year!
Cheap smartphone pic, not a 3K since I won't/don't have one.

In this thread, cheap smartphone pics trump anything from a K-3. Which I don't have. Nope.

Do you mean pork or something porcine, or just something that resulted from pork barrelling?

Is that as a spacer to keep your eye the right distance from the viewfinder to suit the optical design? Surely there must be an easier way.

When you take pictures with a smartphone that way, are you still supposed to use classic smartphone photographers' body position? i.e. knees slightly bent and bent at the waist to get the butt extended as far rearward as possible.

Say what? Don'tcha mean with the smartphone on the end of a smart stick looking away from the nice scenery, so the focus (pun intended) of the image is self, with loverly scene OOF in background, so you can show all your 'friends' what you did on your holidays?
