Testing out my new tripod

So many night shots here lately I just thought I'd try to take a few of my car at night with my new tripod and night time photo gear..

1. first, a day pic.. coming out of the camera store with new goodies, i snapped this pic

2. tried to get a train pass directly behind me and it would have been sick!... but cops kicked me out for no reason before the train arrived

3. at the MBTA (subway) garage..

4. iguidance navigation software

5. trunk shot.. not happy with the sharpness but it'll have to do for now because it's freaking cold outside

6. just added this one..

Awesome pics...your car is simply beautiful. Which tripod did you end up getting? I've been looking for one myself.

Mike, let me look into your soul...

I'm guessing either Manfrotto... or Gitzo... right?

Anyways, I'm thinking of getting the Benbo Trekker. Seen it? Lets you shoot at regular height, but also adjusts to as low on the floor you want. Problem's gonna be looking through the viewfinder though.

Yep, always get my gear from B&H... but I'm thinking of the 70-200 f4L. God, I need a Macro, super wide angle, telephoto, and midrange. Photography is hard on the wallet.

So Mike, what tripod? You still getting that Tamron f2.8 24-70?

Hey thanks everyone!.. it's an Amvona Dynatran AT-CF883 Carbon Fiber Tripod with a Bogen/Manfrotto Grip Ball Head 322RC2.. I also bought a remote shutter switch and a battery grip..Camera is a Canon 20D and lens is a canon 10-22mm

After using it for a while I love the tripod head but not too crazy about the tripod lol.. I don't like the leg locking mechanism..
