<p>[QUOTE="Stupidcoinguy, post: 620031, member: 17208"]So my story begins when I went out in town to find a tripod for my camera. I decided to check out the most popular camera shop in town, as everyone who has a camera nicer than mine tells me that these people know more than the others. Well I go into the store and ask the guy there where his tripods were, he pointed me to a section where I see nothing but tripods for $120 or more, one was like $250. Well I explained to him that I do not need anything fancy, I just need a basic tripod. He pointed to what he described as "The cheapest your gonna find." This janky lookin piece of Crap was $90. Well I decided to try my luck at other places. My first stop was Walmart, which sadly did not have anything but a strange 8inch model. My next stop was Office Depot, there I found a decent tripod for $30, it has a level and tightens in every nook and cranny I could see, it works great and I bought it. Later that week I actually discovered for smaller 4 foot tripods, you can get a very nice looking(2 levels) for $20 at Radio Shack. Ranting done.:loud:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Been playing with my camera more, this pic was done with ridiculously low light. I had a slow shutter speed and a "2.8(somthing)" aperture. Still looking for a good book that talks about non-SLR digital cameras in detail. If any knows of one that would be nice.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
