The family got me the perfect Christmas present this year it’s a gorillapod.
A gorillapod is a flexible tripod and is brilliant! You attach it to your camera and can either use it as a low tripod or wrap it around branches, fences or anything else! It’s just perfect for me as I didn’t want to bring a big tripod out with me and it wouldn’t be flexible. The is small and very manageable so great to take out and about.
The photo above was taken with the gorillapod very low to the ground, I can now get the dog’s perspective on life 😉
It’s also brilliant for slow shutter speed shots. I used to just sit the camera on the camera bag or try and hold it but used to shake it. Now I don’t have to worry 🙂
I’d recommend a gorillapod to anyone, they even do them for phones!

What a great gift! Glad to hear you had a happy Christmas. All the best for 2015!
Love your photos. 🙂
I’ve had a little gorillapod for a few years now and it’s great for taking photos with yourself in when you’re out and about with other people. Mine is just a little one and it’s a bit too small to handle my big DSLR but it’s perfect for my little compact.
