So Michelle, how did your images turn out? What kinds of obstacles did you encounter? What questions did the experience bring to mind?
I would have jumped in with some advice but i was waiting to know which camera you were using, what lenses you have, what kinds of lighting did you plan to use. That sort of thing. There are a lot of ways to use what you have creatively to get some pretty amazing shots you wouldn't think you could get with just a few pieces of gear. Probably by now, you found that tripod mounts are universal until you start adding expensive plates and ball heads.
So if you still want to get your feet wet or try some different ideas, post up some results or some questions concerning the gear you have.
