Today was an "all-tripod" day, including getting good and low with this wonderful hollowed out tree. I feel like I am almost unsure of myself without the tripod lately--I don't even think I can capture a bird anymore as I'm trying to make everything perfectly still. I love it and I don't, but I'm so glad I'm not afraid of trucking that thing along with all of my other stuff now. What a year. So much to be thankful for!
@espyetta Night shots, long exposures, things I've been doing lately do not work unless I use a tripod, so I'm glad I'm getting more used to it. I would not normally do a tripod with a shot like this, but I needed a longer exposure due to light, so it was there--might as well use it!
