Here is a good example of why a good tripod might be one of the most important pieces of equipment for a videographer or photographer.



Though I often have gone without tripods for videos, I usually regret it. Even a monopod is better than nothing.

This composite proves that yes, I got out of bed at 2:30 am to watch the moon last night. Thankfully, the world didn't end.


As I stood there freezing my Nikon off, it occurred to me that this show would have been much more spectacular if actually viewed from the moon.

This was a 'Blogging 101' seminar, designed for those who have never blogged or are just starting. The first session was packed, an encouraging sign for our blogging program. The next challenge is to turn this enthusiasm into actual blogs.

Thanks to everybody who attended! More seminars to come.
