Chris Meyer
Chris Meyer of Crish Design has been involved in both the music industry as a musician, sound designer, recording engineer, and designer of electronic instruments and recording devices; as well as the motion graphics industry where he and his wife Trish create animations for broadcast, film, special venues, trade shows, and web sites. However, before both, he had an interest in photography - an interest he continues to nurture today through the use of photographs as the starting point in mixed media art, often employing experimental printing techniques.

Trying to Lighten UpMissteps and musings on the path to a lighter camera support.
I take most of my photos while hiking. My most common subjects are either close-ups of rocks and plants, which requires razor-sharp focus, or long and wide shots of landscapes with a preference for a very deep focal plane. Both of these benefit from being as stable as possible while shooting - and unfortunately, I’m not a very good statue. Although virtually all of my lenses have image stabilization built in, I’ve been looking for a lightweight, highly functional monopod/tripod and head combination that’s easier to take with me than our studio sticks (Manfrotto 3221WN tripod with 490RC4 ball head, weighing in at 8.5 pounds). This article is a loose wrap-up of my first halting steps in that direction, in hopes that my missteps may help you avoid similar pitfalls. Page 1 of 1 pages |
