what i tried already is a tripod extender like this which can get it in the right position, but my tripod is pretty cheap and it doesn't feel like the head part will hold up with the camera on the extension at a 90 degree angle cos it throws off the centre of gravity so much.
i don't really want to have to buy a new tripod
i'm trying to put together a simple setup for photographing consoles & i think i'm close to what i want but not quite
i've got it laid flat on a table with a ring light above it & i want the camera to point straight down through the light but on a tripod i can only point it down at an angle (see pic)
anyone have any ideas for how i could achieve this, if it involves buying something not-too-expensive i don't mind
and this is a version of my blog now running through php-fpm in docker!! it seems to work perfectly, loads just as fast as the old version
i'm not switching over to this for the public ver yet in case i find some problems but this is very very promising
for once i can go to bed on a high note instead of an "ugh fuck this" note
This seems bad??!?!? I very nearly misconfigured my container in a way that would have accidentally left a port exposed, but I thought "oh well it wouldn't have been _too_ bad cos the firewall would block it anyway", but apparently, no, docker just says Fuck your firewall
