bipodal zoom

Oh, its shank's zoom!
It's really a gentle moan about the fact that at the moment I can only muster 200mm, so if I want a close up, I have to rely on the trusty old "bipod"
Do you have "PhotoMe"? If you have, you can right click on the photos to open in PhotoMe. You will see I was using my "kit" 18-55
PhotoMe is available as a free download
We live about 1 hour south from you - near Gerrards Cross

Er-no actually!Surely you mean Bipedal Zoom!
Rather than using the Latin for foot as in (eg) horses (quadruped = four-footed), I prefered to use the Greek as in snails (gastropod = belly-footed) because I thought it reflected the zooming-speed!
In my case anyway!

But "Bi" originates in Latin ...
If you wanted to go the Greek route it would be Dipodal ! And maybe it should be Greek as Photo originates from Greek.

Of course you are right!
(Now I wonder how many words break that rule? "Television", for example?)
This could go on and on.........!
And at my slow pace - well!
