And I agree that it's not hard to just take shots of frags. I'm really picky and selective with my photos. And unless I can make them look really good I probably would never post them

He took a pic of his moorish idol and it's a great pic! Happy? Get off his case already.

I dunno about that... there may not be a need for one... but they improve picture quality by a heck of a lot! My photos are MUCH more crisp when I use a tripod.

*Edit: Just saying that I feel there is definitely an improvement in my shots from use of a tripod - While adding in the disclaimer that I know not a thing about photography

It all depends what focal length you use. I like shooting telephoto to compress the background. And when shooting at 400mm you need at least a 1/400 of a second shutter spee; which is impossible when using off camera flash cuz the sync speed is only 1/200. So the only way to avoid camera shake is to use a tripod

I don't see how any shot wouldn't be at least a little better shot from a tripod?

Unless you are trying to do an 'action' (read: Blurrrrrry) shot

Yeah I should shut up - you got that fancy badge next to your name: ' Photo X-pert'!

Forgive my sins, Lord Brett!


(aside from the fact that my post was sarcasm and agreeing with you )

Haha. I'm slow to pickup on that stuff!

Fear the badge. I beat out countless (if you've got the counting ability of say an infant) photo submissions to get where I am today!
