I miss my tripod

Some days ago I wrote about going with the flow. I’m all for it. I need to take pictures in whatever capacity that I can. If this means taking the shot hand-held, then so be it.

But … I do miss my tripod. I miss the thoughtful compositions, the razor sharp shots, and the ability to do long exposures. I can still do the thoughtful compositions, but I’m really used to moving about, finding the composition, then attaching the camera and taking the picture.

I must admit, however, that shooting off of the tripod has certain advantages. It can’t be beat for quick shots! Also, it is absolutely required for street photography and I find it very useful for shooting photos of buildings in daylight, given sufficient light/shutter speed.

It’s just different, that’s all. As time allows, I’ll use my tripod, but for now, I’ll just have to miss it. I gotta keep shooting.
