How about putting the tripod on the table and either clamp it down or put something over the legs? Another trick the Manfrotto has, just incase you were tempted to go shopping:

I know what you mean. I broke my old tripod and was going to replace it with a 50 quid job, then saw a Manfrotto which was on another level but 110, then saw this one which was a bit more still. I managed to justify it to myself at the time but it was one of my more impulsive buys.

16600 i5 @ 3.4GHz 4GB RAM ATI 4870 Vapor-X 1GB That'll keep me happy for a while. :D

It was about 150 all in so not too bad (Manfrotto 055XPROB). If yours does what you showed in your photo, then you would be able to get it like mine just by adjusting the front legs. Malice is right about the hook to put a bag/ weight onto, but when you shorten the legs like that to get them...

My tripod does that, I just shortenned the two legs on the front so that it went from being like: to: You do have to hold it down though, but it stays solid enough to get a crisp shot.

I was waiting for your post in this thread. You have some stunning birding shots.

You have a 7D. Nice. :) I'm on my phone so can't check the video yet but it sounds like a hot pixel. There are ways of sorting it I think, have a search on POTN and there will probably be something.

It needs to be a program that can open the file when both the Owner and User password are set. Most draw a blank, and others offering brute force attacks quote 3-4 days to crack it. Sorry that I couldn't help!

PM sent. :D

Its how I roll. lol

Sorry, should have been clearer. I like using the media keys on the keyboard, and not using the mouse to click on the taskbar.

Foobar looks okay but it wont change tracks without the application being in focus with media keys. iTunes and WMP both allow you to skip thought tracks when the app is minimised which is a must for me.

50D is a lovely camera but I would hold on for a month or two if possible. There are rumours that the next xxD model will be announced in Feb which will mean 50D prices drop more. For post processing, I'd recommend Adobe Lightroom all day. It is as easy or complicated as you want for...

We'll have to get a CS group together one evening for this on the PC then... can't let the console boys have all the fun. :D

As a word of warning, this can cause problems for people with Vista/ Win 7 64 bit apparently.

I like the 200. The speedlines look a lot nicer than the other wheels! Not so keen on the Polo, but I dont really get the Rat look either.

Lovely shots. I really like the colours of 1 & 3.

Its definitely worth a shot if you enjoyed Dirt and Grid. It is very "American" though, you get lots of "way to go Andy, nice one dude" from your "buddies" Travis Pastrana and Ken Block etc.

Very smooth and nice to look at. I have it at 1920x1200 with everything on High and get 60fps. I have a 4870 1gb card. The cut scenes were really bad until I updated my video drivers and now they are smooth as.

I am stumped. I'll keep on at it and see if I get any better! 20 seconds on a short stage is a lot though!

I got this for Christmas (on PC) and have been playing it on and off since. Its a fun game, but I think I preferred the first one. This seems to easy to drive the cars, and you feel that the computer is helping your slide rather than the sticks. Online confuses me too, two guys were a clear 20...

Oooo a GL too. My Dad had one of them back in the day.

Shame to miss the slopes but I know which one I would choose too. Good luck with it all!

This guy had a funny idea: Obviously it won't work if you always format your card etc etc etc but he does score points for originality.

Awesome galleries. When are you next going away?

Week 1, I actually forgot to take a shot specifically for this, the only thing I have taken is:

Some really nice shots in there. You should look into using Flickr instead of Photobucket for hosting though, as some of the images have been treated to some nasty compression!

Good call. I am really happy with it over Vista

I loved red faction on the ps2 and was tempted to pick this up. Rail guns FTW!

I was following your stream last year. I was amazed that you normally put up a selection of shots each day and not just one. You had some lovely pics, look forward to this years.
