My wife felt so sorry for me struggling with this weeks challenge, that she surprised me with a nice tripod. Ain't she sweet? It really does help, too!
I ended up borrowing a tripod for the 'advert' challenge, and it made *such* a difference to my shots! I've added it to my wish-list of things I that I just have to get... :o)
I have three tripods small..medium and extra large..could not take a picture without them...I have tried and my pictures seem to be more shakey and blurred without it...love the person who thought of and invented the tripod for sure!
