Tripods & Ballheads

My old, lightweight Manfrotto tripod is over 30 years old and has always served me well. It was there in Africa, accompanied me to Scandinavia and the south of Europe. It was almost like a good buddy. But for the new cameras it is simply too small and not stable enough. So a new one was needed. 😀 - The first photos with it turned out only little different than with the old one 😆. But handling it is more fun!

Hard to image that using a tripod to take a photo of this fountain would be a problem, but yes it was... I was told I could not use it by a security gaurd because it was on private property. Oh well... I just walked out into the street (no traffic whatsoever) and took the photo from there!
The supermoon rising over Lake Michigan with the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse in the foreground. As I am sure many of you already know, this was the largest and brightest full moon since 1948, and it won’t be this big and bright again until 2034.
Quite a bit of planning went into this photograph. I used Google Earth on my computer and the PhotoPills and Sky Guide apps on my mobile phone to precisely plan my location and timing. The lighthouse was approximately 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) from my tripod placement, so my DOF chart told me that if I focused on the lighthouse, the moon would also be in focus (infinity) at 400mm and f/5.6.
I was working with a 30-megapixel image, so I was able to crop generously to accentuate the scale, and I still had a very large file to work with. The sky was clear. I let the moon rise above most of the horizon haze before taking the picture. It was a beautiful sight!

in-camera double exposure, cropped, TRIPOD
I liked the result of my afternoon outing hand-held double-exposure so much that I returned for the evening men's finale with tripod in tow. That "Cream City Brick" (made in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) background that works so well for this capture, is the historic Union Hotel in De Pere (1883).

Bottrop, Germany, 2021.
When I set up my tripod for this shot, my idea was to take an abstract image about the concept of social distancing. I wanted each person to be in their own individual "compartment", nicely separated by the totems (which are part of an open-air art installation, by the way). Little did I know of how much waiting I was getting myself into. In the end, I got the shot, but it took almost 30 minutes of waiting – and I still had to move one person digitally in Photoshop. It was then that I decided to add a question mark to the title of the image. These people were everything but socially distanced.
Here in Germany (and probably every other country), people are quick to blame politicians for all things going wrong in the fight against the pandemic. However, many of them fail to see that it is just as much their own fault to quite a degree. Far too many people simply don't care about keeping their distance, willing to take the chance of other people dying because of their actions.
The fight against the pandemic is not won by the decisions made in a politician's office. It is won by how well these decisions are executed by the people in their everyday lives.

I've been in the archives tidying up some images taken back in 2009 when we were fortunate enough to holiday in the UK. Back then I had a modest entry level DSLR and a single 18-250 lens. No RAW files, Lightroom or filters, tripods etc ....
It was this camera and trip that really spurred my photography interest on. I thought you may enjoy seeing some of my earlier work!

I went to the big places, the waterfalls, the peaks, the valleys. They call to me. But sometimes, the shots are where you don't anticipate them to be. This was the campground near Pipestone National Monument. This was on the 4th of July. In 2020 that meant staying away from the shows, the crowds. Here, my daughter was with me. I was shooting the dock and the moonlight. She said, would it be better with a little girl sitting at the end of the dock? Wow. YES! So she ran out and sat there, only to find that she could see the fireworks off in the distance from the dock. So she sat there for a while, watching the show. Great for me. I shot this several ways, I got the exposure of the moon in some frames, but I preferred the big glow and the big color. Enjoy.
fast moving clouds around sunset and a break in the rainshowers gave the option to bike / hike through the swampy ground up to the wonderful spot. Luckiliy the tripod found a stable place on the ground. And then I just waited for some indirect light. As is did not get better, this is really the best shot.
Done with my new body, the X-T20 as kind of late mover.

I had no tripod so I used high ISO, Low f No, and low speed. I work hard to reduce noise in the lightroom. 15 to 20 minutes after sunset are blue hours.

My tripod is broken so I haven't shot any stitched panoramas for a while, but this scene just begged for a pano crop.
Betws-y-Coed is one of the honeypot locations in Snowdonia. It lies in the Snowdonia National Park, in a valley near the point where the River Conwy is joined by the River Llugwy and the River Lledr, and was founded around a monastery in the late sixth century.
