Pilgrims Progress

My turn to play with the Velbon VS-443D. 
 
One of its advantages is that it combines as a book/painting copying stand.  The crank extending arm makes lining up the subject relatively easy.  Not so taking the shot of the rig at extra.  Every shot I took (with the trusty telephone) had something in the wrong place in the background.  Move that and found another. Change position – same again.  Forty five shots later I got something usable.  Note the improvised lighting rig.
 
The main shot of our old copy of Pilgrims Progress is not on the ideal back ground, but it did for a quick blip.
