No, that's the cheaper aluminium one I suggested ;-) ...I have two, the one I suggested and a lighter carbon one I use for travelling. The aluminium 055PROB comes in handy where I live with the strong winds, last thing you need is for the tripod to fall over with your camera attached.

 

Yeah that nearly happened to be in durban on a rooftop.. Things could of got serious....

I really battled getting the lighting right. In the end, its a terrible photo at full size as it is "grainy". However on resize, looks good :). It is a local hill in Gordons Bay. Locals will know it well.

Also battling to get the sunset pics to be nice and noise free, what camera you been using Slowbee? I'm trying to figure out if it is the Camera or the lens that I am using...still nice pics though!!

If you want "noise free" then you need to shoot at lowish ISO with a longish shutter speed and a tripod.

Finding the balance between these two will give you that.

****BEWARE****

 

Some of these have been edited as most photographers would if they were to take their images in raw, so very much like in the days of film, the development process has been done digitally.

If this does not fall in with your level of expertise and taste, then look elsewhere.
