Hi Yong – I use very fast lens so I don’t often use a tripod. I do keep a small table top Leica Tripod in my bag if I need a tripod. It’s collapsable and very lite.

Hi,

You mentioned you do most of your shots at night. Do you bring your tripod out with you everyday? What sort of tripod did you use.

Imho, tripods are bulky stuffs and I would almost never bring them out on my everyday commute.

Thanks!

Thanks Effendi. The lens a day really worked for me, especially when I was only shooting primes. It is really easy to get comfortable with one lens and then become lazy and not shoot others.

I love the images you have on your site.

I second your strategy of using 1 lens at a time. A few years ago, I sold all my Canon zoom lens and was left with a 50mm for my 1Ds MKII. For 1 year, I shoot everything with it. I shoot daily and learnt how to shoot with it,then I added a 35mm to my lens collection. I had to relearnt again, though the quality of the 35mm was much much better from the first shot compared to the 50mm. My work may not be art but I realise you can compose beautiful images regardless of lens. You need to work the angle, perspective and composition for each one differently.

Now I use an X100 exclusively. I do miss wider perspective at times so I’m thinking of adding a X-pro 1 or just get another canon body for my existing lenses.

Hi Dave I have just spent a very enjoyable few hours looking at your website. Thank you for your excellent advice and for sharing it so enthusiastically. Today you have given me my first introduction on how to use a camera! I feel totally inspired thanks to you. I can’t wait to buy my first SLR camera this week and start shooting every day! Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to joining you on your journey, via your website, throughout 2012. Happy New Year to you and your family.
