1960's Slik aluminum tripod tribar head. I love it! I am looking into updating so I can return the tripod to its rightful owner (GF's mom)

Here is what ill be going with.

Head

Overdoing it? Maybe. The head adds height to the overall pod which is what I want. I am not afraid to pay extra for something that will last as long as my current pod. 40 years

My thing is more of when traveling...is there a fine line between sacrificing a really nice picture setup by carrying around just a few accessories and carrying a lot (tripod, extra lenses, and batteries to lug)
[Reply]

I don't carry a tri-pod unless I'm going someplace specifically to shoot photos. Usually, the camera and lenses are enough.

There was a few times I wish I had a tripod with me during my last trip but then I forget how much I enjoy traveling as light as possible. Though I didn't know about bean bags..that might have helped with a few shots that needed longer exposures.

Snapped this today after I taught my undergrad class. Such a beautiful day ... I'm surprised converting it to B&W was the right move (it really was).

Nope just playing with new toys! I got a new AB800, a couple umbrellas, and a High Output Beauty Dish (White). Been toying with studio lighting. I couldnt afford two lights so I have been doing single light and reflector stuff. Still not getting the results I am shooting for, but some nice lighting :-)

[Reply]

Good luck Justin. With the baby too :-)
[Reply]

That's a beautiful shot of the Ritz! Are you shooting from the park right by the fountain?

I have had a Canon Elan 7ne that has been sitting in my closet for months now. I used ot love shooting with that thing, but film seems like it's so hard to get and develop now. Up north I had a dark room to work with, but down here, nada.
[Reply]

Yep just past the fountain. Took the same picture in BW 100speed film Im developing it tomorrow. Lets hope I dont screw it up. :-/

Do you still have your darkroom equipment?
[Reply]

Nope, never had my own darkroom. I lived in Morgantown, WV and used WVU's photography school's darkroom. I knew the professor from when I went there and he let me use the room as long as I kicked in for supplies and wasn't there during class hours. Summers were always nice, no students.

level out the horizon (easy to do in ps) Sorry it drives me nuts when landscapes are crooked. Otherwise great shot, love the way the water turned out.
[Reply]

And I Thought It Was Just My Old Eyes!:-)
[Reply]

I too really like the shot I believe picassa has a straigtening tool.

Any flash recommendations for my T1i?
