    Great shot, Skippy! I really love the blue lighting reflecting off the water.

    I have a tip for you though. Well not really a tip, but something to keep in mind. Disney's California Adventure is a VERY photographic place at night. However, sometimes the security can be jerks about letting tripods in. Sometimes they won't allow them. Hopefully you can get in with it. I would love to see some great night photos from there.

    Thanks.........I will only have a monopod with me so hopefully that will be okay, my monopod has a set of legs (3) that are hidden within the pole itself.

    Thank you for that piece of information........ dates getting closer and closer, just 4 weeks to go now whooooooohoooooo clap.gifclap.gif Skippy (Australia)

    John we were just unfortunate that it was so cloudy, and threatening to rain, lucky for us it only spat a couple of times, but not even enough for us to need to pack up our gear.

    Melbourne City is very beautiful, thought it is a place I would be lucky to visit maybe once or twice a year.....mostly because of work commitments.

    We were very very pleased with the results we got on Sunday Night, and we both want to go back again....thank you for your kind words.

    I'm leaving in 4 weeks time........but I am not sure what my hosts have planned for Ohio.....I know we are suppose to be driving down to Oklahoma to attend a wedding so until I actually get to Ohio I really don't know what we'll be doing.

    First week will be in California, next three weeks will be in Montana, and the three weeks after that will be in Ohio..

    This is not a trip I am doing on my own, I'm actually staying with friends I haven't seen in 4 years, so there's a lot of catching up to do......little bit hard to make any kind of arrangements.

    Gosh your very thoughtful, but it may not work out this time around.

    We had a wonderful time, least I have a friend who doesn't mind driving to Melbourne with me as a navigator rolleyes1.gif I'm shocking when it comes my sense of direction, and am fearful of getting lost.

    Take Care MuskyDude....... Skippy (Australia)

    The Monopod I have is a Manfrotto a 682B serial 682B/MF10
    The legs hide in the foot, so if you need them they are there, and if not they are neatly tucked away :D

    There are several models I believe that have the legs that hide in the foot.

    Check out the Manfrotto Website ........ Skippy (Australia)
