I am sharing it even though it is soft. I think it is one of those that
"tell a story". (And that's why I don't want to spoil the effect and
will pause before posting the story about it.)
But then, I am biased (and I was there to watch it).
Does it do that for you?
Both of those make up for any technical defects with emotional content.
I think I am finally getting some handle on photographing figure skaters
on ice. There are still several things I'd like to improve and will try
to work on next time. (All critique and suggestions are solicited.)
I should probably consider getting some reasonable monopod with a head
that allows quick and easy flipping between horizontal and vertical
positions. Speaking of which, does anybody have a suggestion for a
simple and inexpensive head like that? Alternatively, are there any
flip-brackets designed for mounting a camera on a monopod? (I am
thinking along the lines of flash-mounting brackets that easy to flip, -
something similar for cameras.)
I have a benro carbon fiber monopod that I'm very happy with, it set me
back about $85, rather than $240 for the manfrotto.
Pretty much any decent arca-swiss style ball head on it will work.
There's a little notch to flip the camera over to portrait format.
I find that the Induro ball heads are very good for the money.
I like the custom slr mini plates. They work with both arca-swiss and
most of the manfrotto style generic tripod plates.
I also picked a couple of these plates up, but haven't really gotten a
lot of use out of them
