Because everyone else is doing it…
From the “I wish I had a tripod” file
Went to the Conservatory of Flowers today, which I hinted at a few days ago. Wasn’t really worth the $5. It’s a stuffy, crowded version of the free botanical gardens across the park. I suppose it’s worth checking out once though.
Anyhow, inside were some tropical plants and butterflies…
… and getting those suckers to sit still is not easy. The shots below were handheld of course… I would’ve liked a tripod, but butterflies don’t sit still for very long.
The two shots below were taken with the Canon Digital Rebel with the 18-55mm lens.

Well, that went well enough without a tripod! Personally I hate the things (especially the size and weight of them) and go for hand-held whenever I can.

I poorly worded that title. I should have said “I wish I had BROUGHT a tripod”. I do have one, and a heavy one at that!
