The Flexibility of a Tripod

Some might think that tripods are a hassle to carry around. But, they are very useful and essential for taking great photos. A tripod can be useful in low light situations or when slow shutter speed is required - it keeps your picture sharp and clear and eliminates any accidental blurs. The other benefit is that it helps you compose the image correctly and increase the chances for a super shot - this is true when doing macro photography.

You should consider in investing on a light weight and compact tripod. It is a little more costly, but worth it... especially if you need it a lot of time. Make sure that it's stable and sturdy. One with quick release mount will give you some flexibility.

The best thing is that you might not need to purchase a tripod if you can be creative. Use any sturdy surface in the area. That can be a chair, a table, even a rock... anything that can keep your camera steady! Be very careful that the item can hold the camera really well... you don't want to damage your camera if it slips and falls down.

To good shots,
