Wintry sea

Thanks for the first few suggestions for sorting out my photography. Here was MarkR's advice, fudge it....Judging by the forecast winter has set in, it certainly seems so from the temperature outside. However, this would appear to help with the photography. I'm just starting to get to grips with the new camera, still early days but I am beginning to get some pleasing results.All I need now is a tripod and some hints..........any ideas?

And now for the inshore waters forecast:

Selsey Bill to Lyme Regis.
24 hour forecast:
Wind: North veering northeast 5 or 6, occasionally 7 around exposed headlands, decreasing 3 or 4.
Weather: Isolated showers.
Visibility: Good.
Sea State: Slight or moderate.

Really easy to do. I'll pass you a disk at the weekend.

I thought that might be the answer I would get. If it's good enough for you Mark, it's good enough for me.

See you at the weekend......early start on Saturday? I'll have a look at the tides.

Depends how much you are willing to pay. I would personally recommend one of these - http://www.velbon-tripod.com/

Very smooth action, very well spec'd, very robust. You get what you pay for.

Cheers.
