Hey all, After a year of asking for tripod advice I finally pulled the trigger. I got somewhat newer versions of the legs and head: Manfrotto 055XPROB and a Manfrotto 496RC2 head, but boy, what an upgrade from my $20 elcheapo tripod, just the experience of having a tripod of my height is exhilarating ;-) Expect my photos to be sharp for a difference now...
I'm already salivating after carbon fiber legs, some better heads and a pano thingy, but this combo is a quantum leap -or feels like that for now. I also fought my procrastination and processed my vacation photos; I don't feel I had much luck this time -no 2011 Pdml-book photo yet- but some funny pictures. In Boracay the best snorkeling experience ever, some interesting thunderstorms and other stuff. In Tokyo not so much, but I can blame jet lag for that -only 4 jetlagged days there. I kept it short -19 photos each album Boracay: slideshow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferand/sets/72157624548005050/show/ or all of them together http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ferand/sets/72157624548005050/ Tokyo slideshow: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ferand/sets/72157624423201883/show/ or all of them together http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ferand/sets/72157624423201883/ Changes in my work are keeping away from the list, but I check it now and them, hope everyone is fine.
