Seeing how enthusiastic I still am about taking photos, my dear husband bought a tripod for us recently. I wanted to try it out and decided to wait for a nice, sunny day, then walk up to the top of the nearby hill and capture the sunset from there. That day happened over the weekend, when I checked the sunset times on the internet (3.52 pm!), then rushed up to the Reigate Hill lookout point just after 3pm, thinking I will miss it. In fact, I was well in time and I ended up spending about 40 min up there taking photos of the dusk settling over the landscape (my hands were frozen by the end of it). To be perfectly honest, because I’ve never used one, not being too familiar with it, I found the tripod a bit of a nuisance this time. Somehow, taking the camera eventually off it, I felt freer in my movements and more comfortable with what I was doing. As a result, some of these photos have been taking with the use of the tripod and some of them without. I think I just need a bit of practise and I’ll be good friends with the tripod soon enough. It can come quite handy in low light situations.
