Q: What tripod head are you using?
A: Gitzo carbon fiber with a wimberley gimbal head ver 1 (no center column, 3 section CF tripod, pretty sturdy)

It would be great meeting and working with you in New Mexico.
A: Working out the details now. I figure 4 days with you is the equivalent of 1yr of book reading, field work, trial and error, etc… 🙂 I want to get down that learning curve quickly.

later and love and thanks for finding BAA 🙂

Q: ps r u active on BPN yet?
A: no Sir, haven’t seen that site yet, will get on it tonight when I get out of work.
I can feel the love..

If you get involved in BPN you will learn a ton and get and give lots of love. artie

Many folks have a problem making sharp images at first with the 2X TCs. Read the stuff on Advanced Sharpness Techniques in ABP II and then practice. Soon you will learn to make it seem as if the rig is actually an extension of your body. That’s the feeling that you want>
