All,
I'm headed to Scotland for about 2 weeks coming up for vacation. Needless to say, I plan to do photography while I'm there. I'm primarily a landscape shooter and I have several hikes and locations scouted for plenty of that. But, as it is a vacation I also plan to do some relaxing. Conveniently the Scottish coast is plentiful for seabirds and seals (at least the few spots I'll be staying). So, weather permitting I plan on packing out my stool to the cliff tops and enjoying many hours shooting the birds. I'm very inexperienced with bird/wildlife photography, so I welcome any and all tips, but my primary question is, should I also bring my monopod with me, or will my tripod suffice? As a point of reference, my tripod is the RRS TVC-33, with no center column and monopod is the Benro MeFoto Walkabout.
Thanks, in advance.
