Thank you. Believe or not I got a rash of s**t today from someone the C*n*n D-SLR site. By way of some background, someone posted asking whether they should buy a Sigma 50-500 or wait and save up for a C*n*n 100-400L. One of the respondents said to be sure to get a good tripod or monopod, you willl need one for shooting with long glass. I popped in and said, "It depends, some folks can shoot effectively with long glass handheld", or some such similar statement, and posted by way of example, the Troy Bayliss photo I posted a link for here some days ago. Another respondent jumped all over my case saying I was advocating bad techniques, not to say things like that to someone, don't go around saying you don't need a tripod or monopod for shooting with long glass, blah, blah, blah. I replied that I wasn't advocating NOT using a monopod or tripod, just that you didn't necessarily need them, but he would hear none of it. I wanted to sic Mike Veglia on him with those awesome photos he took handheld with the Zuiko 350mm/2.8 beast. Ah merde...C'est la vie....
