[TCML] top load and photography

[bartb]

Hi Matt,

I like #2, that's a fairly decent indication. Regarding this thread, I 
think I read someone grounding the tripod? That's probably the last 
thing I would do for the same reasons for not grounding my body. I'm not 
sure I understood that post correctly as I wasn't paying close 
attention, but I certainly would not ground the camera or what it's 
sitting on (or anything near it). We don't want to issue unseen leaders 
shortening the physical distance between coil and camera. IMHO.

Take care,
Bart
