owlspook
awesome .. you’ve captured the light so beautifully and the color .. ahhhh (smile)
so what’s a Mono pod and what’s DOF??
velveteagle replied
Young lady a nice thing for you to say.. A mono pod is a one legged tripod you could say.. Or a metal staff with a ball head to hold the camera.. DOF means the amount of what you can see in focus from the center of focus.. In front of the subject matter and behind..

mono pods are good mounted to the lens stick with a tri pod for sure it will allow good slow speeds for max cool saturation every little bit helps
