I can count the number of times I've used a tripod on one hand, as I generally find them to be more an encumbrance than a tool. That said, I finally broke down and got a decent one the other day when I bought my flash unit, as I'm going to be doing a family portrait session soon, and figured it would be a good idea to have one. Still, like you, I like to move around a lot when I'm shooting and a tripod starts to feel like a ball and chain pretty quickly. -- Walt On 5/31/2013 9:14 AM, [email protected] wrote: > But I must say using a tripod, heavily, felt very uncreative.
