Going to force myself to use a monopod out in the field and as far as the studio I don't have to worry as I don't have a studio.
I was asked about doing a baby shower in October by a co-worker but honestly not sure if that will happen or not. It might be interesting however I don't want her to be disappointed if the results are not what she expected. ___________________________________________________ You can see my latest captures by visiting my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jt-johnson/ -----Original Message----- From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of John Sessoms Sent: Monday, July 04, 2011 10:28 AM To: pdml@pdml.net Subject: Re: OT: Or Perhaps not as it is Photo related question From: "P.

By definition "flimsy" won't get the job done. You'd actually be better off leaving it in the car. A tripod does not have to be too heavy to carry in order to be sturdy. That's why I specified "good" is the same as "sturdy" rather than "heavy". In the studio, I'd use a mono stand. >> > >> > Buy a good one, where good == sturdy. >> > >> > Doesn't necessarily have to be expensive, but most of the better >> > ones are. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
