Yep. Just a few days ago I was on my way to work and spotted a
great potential shot. I had my PZ-1p and wide-tele zoom with me
but no tripod or cable release...and I knew I'd be looking at a
long shutter speed. I just bundled up my coat on the roof of my
car and positioned the camera onto it. The 2-second morror
lock-up saved the day.

Yes, that's a biggie, too.
