Hi,

I was at my Niece's graduation from GA TECH this morning when I spyed this rig off to one side...I just had to share this :D The tripod dwarfs the camera :D

(Pardon the snapshot right out of the camera...I am working from my laptop tonight and do not have any edit tools with me.)

Doesn't look like overkill to me. That tripod doesn't exactly appear to be Bogen-esque. That digi's probably maxing out the 'pods load capacity. ;) :)


And a big ol' congrats to your niece! :D

Thanks, Peter...the 135MM EF L performs well w/o pod indoors in so-so light.

Our son uses a rather large tripod too. He doesn't worry about any shake in his shots though!

And she's using her left eye while manual focusing to boot.

Why should he feel inadequate? I bet that guy with the tripod has clear pictures.

Out of curiosity...what ISO and aperture did you shoot most of the graduation in? I'm going to try to shoot my sister's next weekend and was hoping to use my 150. Will f/2.8 be good enough with 800 or 1600 ISO? lighting will likely be similar.
