I think The Ben has guts. And, one would hope, good hands. ;)
It is an interesting concept. I always wanted to stick one in an R/C helicopter or plane. | | | | |

Kevin Swan and Mark Larson have mastered it, and I just asked for their help on how to do it w/ a Nikon. They bracket their pics w/ a 2 second delay, which isn't possible on a Nikon. Quote:

Cool. I'll set up my backup's backup (with the kit lens) on a timer and try this...
I'm assuming you're on f/22 or something high like that?

Those turned out pretty good. I like the concept and I have seen some of Mark Larson's stuff out there from weddings throwing it up in the middle of the wedding party. I just don't have the huevos to try it myself, even with my admittedly lower end D300.
I hate to encourage this type of photography, because, one wrong move and BAM! Literally!
It is pretty cool though. | | | | |

They both are cool, but they look better rotated 90 degrees left to me.
I did some similar shots years ago by putting a ball head on the end of a long stick with a pneumatic release. I guess a remote would work better. | | | | |

It is pretty cool though. | I actually wanted to do it w/ my D300, but I had to get the camera to ISO 1600 to get it to properly expose at 1/2000th... and we all know the D300 is not as stout as the D700 at ISO 1600. So then, I just grabbed 1 of my D700s and started "practicing"
