I started snapping and walking closer and closer and then got about 4 ft from him.

I'm thinking of getting a tripod. Any suggestions on one that is compatible with the Canon 1d Mark iii (heavy).

OK after reading a bunch of reviews I went for the Manfrotto tripod and since I have a $50 off coupon I went with the Manfrotto head for it. All the reviews are very positive and also say it's nice and tall for us tall boys.

Can't wait to have a decent tripod.

I would be interested in how that head works out for you. I could use to update mine, never liked it much. Too difficult to use and make adjustments.

It looks like you got yourself a nice setup there.

I've got that very head for my tripod. You'll LOVE it. Holds VERY steady and has adjustable tension as well. It handles the D3+ the 400mm f/2.8, no sweat.

The only thing I'd suggest is that you may want to pick up an extra baseplate or two so you can have one on each body and your 70-200 f/2.8's mount.

Blown-Out Ballerina

A drastically over-exposed area of highlights resulted in the face of my subject being completely blown out. Rather than throw this image out, I elected to poke it around a bit in Lightroom to see what could be done with it to create something interesting. I think I succeeded.

On second thought...

Meh...

I did the same thing with a blown out Nine Inch Nails pic and really liked the results.
