I would love to know what you are doing for lighting. I don’t want to invest a ton, at least not know since I just got my dslr but wonder what you do at night when there is no natural light.

Oh I wanted to ask if most mid-grade tripod heads can do vertical shots? I don’t want to have to use an L-bracket but I’m not sure if most of them do that? Thanks!

Great tips! I’m contemplating and contemplating, there are just sooo many different kinds out there! And I can’t believe how pricey they are too. Chris’ old boss is really into photography and he has a suitcase of gear, including like a 300mm f1.4 or something crazy like that. He has a crazy tripod too, probably at least $1000. I think he said Manfrotto is really good and then recommended acratech heads, which of course are about 250 & up for just the head! Getting really close to the ground with the legs would be great for macro shots for something on the ground. I need to find a local photo shop because I’ve found the same goes for bike gear. It’s really good to get to know experts personally because they may have deals and we really like supporting local small businesses too sorry for the long comment
