That is exceptionally nice! What machine would provide handheld stacks of a subject hanging in the breeze?

No machine, just a bean bag and moment with no breeze :D

Excellent shot.

Would you mind explaining how you use the bean bag?
What makes photography such a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

Just support the camera and lens on a small bean bag, the sort you can buy for resting computer tablets on tables. There is enough give in the bag to allow a very smooth forward movement of the lens whilst activating the shutter.
