I find that anything about 2” or less will work. I’m often clamping to the flat iron that makes the structure of a steel building, or to the top of a 2” panel, or…

Blog, , , , ,
My recent experience I recently had an opportunity to shoot for my friend in a completely different niche than I usually shoot in.
