Rosemary, quite contrary.
I have to admit, I hate tripods. Now some will think me a heretic for that, but I only use them when absolutely necessary and prefer to use the wonderful technology of modern cameras to avoid having to drag the three legged contraption around with me, most of the time. But, case not in point (as opposed to in point) the other day I decided to drag it out to get a close shot of some Rosemary in our back garden. And while there, a couple of Blue Banded Bees (thanks guys) decided to float (or buzz) in and this amazing thing happened, my shaky hands were taken out of the equation and the result was that I can actually see those little hairs on the bee's back! Hurrah! I think it 'mazing!
Mind you, I did use the tripod the other night for the light shots, despite the wonderful technical abilities of my Nikons there really is no substitute for a three legger to get the best out of those. I do have a monopod too but I still can't hold it still enough to get my licence for it.
Apologies for my limited comments today, had a bad night last night with little sleep. Snoozed too long during the day, the flu shot must have knocked me about!
