For Ehcalum to even mention the words with experience in the same sentence that was funny. I wish I could learn how to control my shaky hands through more experience. I just had to comment on this and back up peety3. Theres a place for a monopod and a place for a tripod where a tripod is absolutely an essential tool to have.

It wasn't that I wanted to use the wrong tool, it was being as new to this as I am, I did not realize I was considering the wrong tool for my needs until a number of extremely helpful people explained the differentpurposes for each. I will be saving for a tripod but Ehcalum's experience is paying off because in my opinion the photos posted in his profile are wonderful! Since I am just beginning, I am learning a lot about the gear I need (and don't need)from everyone on this site which is for the professional and the hobbyist like myself.
