Your old CDs that you have been throwing away have a good use at some crime scenes instead of using them as a Frisbee. How many times have you put your camera on a tri-pod and the legs to the tri-pod sunk into the sand or mud. Kerdall Remboldt a crime scene photographer and instructor have a use for those old CDs.
Place 3-6 old CDs in your camera kit and the next time your tri-pod wants to sink in the sand or mud, pull out three of the CDs and place them under the feet of your tri-pod. It will serve as snowshoe to keep the tri-pod feet from sinking and, yes, this also works in snow.
Another use for the old CDs from Remboldt is to use them as a reflector when photographing pieces of evidence without shadows. This will allow you to clearly see the item of evidence. As you can see in the inserted photograph you will have a good photograph of the bullet instead of just an average photograph. Sometimes when you eliminate the shadows you will be able to view the item of evidence with better detail.
