Tripods

Do you have a tripod? 
We have a big old tripod that we've had since college.  I think we drag that thing out at least twice a year and use it. 

I have a mono-pod too, that I got last year as a present for all of the sports photography that I've been doing.  I have to say that I'm not a big fan of it though--I find it kind of cumbersome to use. 

While we were on vacation, Max brought a long a little, flexible tripod that he got somewhere.  I have to say that we used that thing all of the time with his smaller digital camera.  It was great for taking pictures with long exposure like this one:

Or using your camera's timer to get pictures with both of you like this:

{Can you tell that I uploaded pictures from our trip to my laptop finally?}

I was inspired to write about this topic when I saw this at photojojo.com

It's a little tripod that you screw on top of a water or soda bottle.  I think we always had a water bottle with us when we traveled.  This would be a great thing to throw in the camera bag if you travel this summer.

I did a quick search and found a tripod similar to what we took on our trip.  Its called a Gorillapod and they have them available in different sizes.  {hmm.  I wouldn't mind one of those for my DSLR.}

So do you have a tripod and do you use it?

Peace. Out.
