hello, i would like to get some advice on a tripod for macro, i think its time i start using a tripod full time for macro
i started macro from december last year, with a EF-S 60mm USM on my 30d and a 580EX mostly hand shooting
my priorities now are insect shooting. using sun light as the main light source, and using flash only as fill-flash,
so ive come to the point where i think it is time to invest into a tripod dedicated for macro as i am prefering natural light.
i think it may be suitable to get a longer lens as you have to get close with the lens i am using at the moment and i think there may me larger restrictions using tripod?
the more potent backround blur for larger subjects such as dragonfiles/butterflies etc would be nice too.
my two considerations on lenses at the moment are eather 100mm or 180mm lens, i have no experiance with them, just my 60mm,
i would like to use a dedicated macro tripod full time for my macro shots, one that can go all the way down low, not to heavy, price dosent matter.
i would greatly appreciate any advice and experiance
