Owl'ch! Think the RSPB will be gunning after ya.
Nice idea, and will probably gain hundreds of chinese copies made of
horrible plastic.
Though about chinese goods, I bought a handgrip for my Nikon D70 DSLR
sometime ago, spending �40 for something reviewed greatly on eBay. The
plastic in an egg carton was of better quality than that! Long term
project is to build my own out of nicely shaped wood.
If I had an iPhone, I well might be knocking up one of those grips out
of DIY materials as well.
BTW Interesting iPhone/iPod addon's from this bunch.

'Taking photo's and video is as much about the device as it is the

You know my opinion of people who jack off on other peopl'es grammar.
To save me time, get a dictionary of expletives and read that.

After examining the video several times, taking advantage of frame by
frame slow motion, I conclude that the girl is wearing an Elf's costume
and is therefore not an inappropriately dressed Santa.

I don't.
Steve's a congenitally impaired serial abuser of grammar who's clever
enough to work around what for many is mis-labelled stupidity or
laziness. If it's screamingly obvious, most people make allowances, but
if it's effectively disguised and isn't quite so glaringly obvious, it
often attracts censure from those of us not so afflicted.
Which is why I'm surprised when Steve mistakes a rather obvious
psychiatric disorder for social disfunctionality. Although to be fair
the manifestation of said social disfunction is probably the most
irritating I've ever come across, and having personal experience of a
reasonable number of psychiatric patients I've certainly come across
some pretty damned annoying behaviours.

Did you see the behind-the-scenes video where you can see her in the
background getting changed?
And on a different tack, I mourn the loss of the v-pluralised f. It
appears that along with the re-purposationalism of "loose" to mean
"lose", common usage on the interwebs is causing dwarves to become
dwarfs, elves to become elfs, shelves to become shelfs and so on.
I'd cite more examples, but it ill behoofs me to continue.

But it's just the Intarweb. Smile and move on. And yes, I know that this
is how language goes to hell, but then the English we use is the product
extensive bastardisation anyway. My grand children will have to live
with *my* manglings. After all, it's the job of each successive
generation to handle the mess it inherits.

Peter, I'm not at all convinced by your proves.
Elf singular, the costume belonging to said, hence "Elf's costume."
Ben Shimmin
Not to be confused with `Elvis costume', which wouldn't be quite so
flattering to the poor young thing in the video.

As opposed to 'Elvish costume', which would be correct. What a
difference a letter makes...
Of course really it could work fine as 'Elf costume'. Avoiding all those
apostrophic tropes.

No, I'm saying Steve is dyslexic or something similar, so grammar and
punctuation aren't as natural for him as they are for our tight little
sphincters. And having such, I'm surprised he's so intolerant of
Rowland's paranoid aggression, which is so bad it's obviously not just a
personality defect, it must be an akshul psychiatric problem that he has
very little control over. I don't know why I have to write such opaque
crap. I blame a couple of badly replicated genes.

Ah no, I wasn't referring to your use of "Elf's" Bruce, but to the
wantOWLE video info where it is written: "getting some promo shots with
the Bubo and some beautiful elfs!"
But you knew that, and were simply taking the opportunity to mock me
with your "proves". Well feh, I'm off to scour the interwebs for milves.

And besides, if it was an elf's costume, then presumably it wouldn't be
an elf costume. Or do elves regularly go to fancy-dress parties dressed
as elves? That seems like a bit of a cop-out, like me going to the party
dressed as a software developer.

I thought it was well known that they only put on the green costume when
they expect to be seen by people. The rest of the time they frolic naked.

Reminds me of a book about churches once describing one of the more
elaborate tombs as being decorated with a carving of a "life-sized Angel".

As any fule no, that'd hold a lot of angels.
But nobody knows quite how many.
