Oh nah I saw the spiderweb and yeah that's darned pretty, but I know how to shoot those so I'm not as amazed by it, the steamy bird-song is what got me the most :-) I love that dressage shot you got. I agree, those random awesome shots are th best, I still get the grins thinking about that one I got of Desi running with the magpie. :-D I know you can get plnety hella good shots without a tripod, hell I've only ever used one once in my life. Thing is tho because I want to learn to shoot when things are moving at speed i.e horses, birds, rabbits, 'roos, a tripod would be of enourmous help. I hit the deck to to shoot when I can but sometimes it's not practical, esp for birds and horses; I'd need a $2k lense to do what I wanted to do otherwise. A nice little mono-pod or tripod would be a luxery but one I would VERY much like one day. :-) You don't wanna ermine.... just trust me on that. Get a ferret, much much less pain :-)
