As long as you're unethical there's always best buy or Costco.

My point was not that I wouldn't have a camera to shoot just that I'm that behind on these things

Exactly my point

I haven't tested my costco tripod yet, but just from taking it out of the box and holding it it feels more solid than I was expecting.
I haven't fully extended it or attached my camera yet, I'm going to try and get to that tonight.
ETA: It comes with a carry "case" with a (rather small) shoulder strap.
Did a few 30 second exposures last night, seems to my untrained eye to be just fine. Details after shabbos iy"h.

They're all terrible.  Very hard to predict CLE winter weather due to lake effect snow.

Guess I'll have to plan shoots for all types of weather then :P.

How's the snow been so far this year?

This past Saturday was the first major accumulation.

Here in CLE though you can have a foot of snow in one place but literally not a snowflake 4 miles away.  All based on the whims of the lake and the wind.

I'm in PIT right now but they were calling for lots of snow yesterday but when I had left there was nothing new.

I see. So basically I'll know the weather when I land :D.

Not even.  CLE/Hopkins has very little to do with snow in Beachwood or CAK areas.  Love seeing yesterday's CLE snow accum being zero when we got slammed with a foot or v/v.

Sort of like predicting rain in Hawaii. They just predict a good chance every day because they have no freakin clue when or where it will hit but it'll probably come somewhere at some point :D
