Today’s Photo of the day is “The Big Spread” by Marti Huzarski. Location: Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area, McNeal, Arizona.

“I spent several days photographing the sandhill cranes during their winter migration,” explains Huzarski. “The most dramatic moments happened during their courtship dances. There were so many thousands of cranes, many times the dances weren’t noticed or appreciated by the females, but the males weren’t deterred from dancing even when no one was looking!”

Canon 6D, EF100-400mm lens at 400mm. Exposure: 1/1600, f/10, ISO 640.

Recently, SmallRig released a heavy-duty, inexpensive tripod called the AD-01, which ships with a fluid head. As someone who shoots both stills and video, I was very excited to try it out. However, after testing the tripod, I have some reservations. In this review, I’ll tell you what I think of SmallRig’s new tripod and whether you should consider it.
