Might it not be easier to pluck the sucker and place it in a waiting stage to be shot wilth minimal hassel and far greater control? Heck of an effort and a nice image none the less.

Probably, but what's the challenge in that?
Besides, one reason I didn't was that I had NO space to try a static set up.
the other... the gardener would have been p*ssed!

thanks for the complements!

Yes it is, a Heavy Duty Pro, which I purchased for a song at a yard sale of all places.

Also, I think I mis-spoke a little, the ladder is probably only a 10 footer.
