There was something vaguely silly about a tripod that cost more than the camera it was holding. Seriously, though, it is a bit off when my Manfroto head actually cost more than my tripod. Which, of course, means that I need a better tripod to hold it.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-75450290906050865292013-12-10T10:17:16.404+13:002013-12-10T10:17:16.404+13:00That is one of the joys of the zoom lens Meike.

One used to roost in a tree above The Cottage and when it flew down first thing in the morning (around 5 or 6am) it would screech as it went past my window a few yards from my head. That was enough to waken even the dead.
