My enthusiasm for photography is growing as a hobby but also to use for work as a blogger. I’m finding that posts with decent to good photographs get more traffic than posts with poorly done photos or those without any photos.

I’ve been working at learning to use my camera with different settings, with and without flash, changing the shutter speed and the aperture settings. The one thing I am still having problems with is that my hands shake making the camera unsteady.

With finances the way they are a tripod is out of the question. They are expensive and even if I find a used one online the shipping costs too much. I know having one would help me out a great deal as I’m finding so many out of focus photos plus my camera tells me when it’s shaking.

I was looking for a sale, just to see what the price would be to satisfy my curiosity. I couldn’t believe it when I found a Floor Standing Tripod for only $13.99 with free shipping! The Ambico V-0640 Fashion Tripod features:

• 2-Way panhead and quick shoe
• 180 and 360 head adjustment
• Sturdy steel twist-lock legs with easy-grip rubber feet
• Camera mount pivots for shots at almost any angle
• Sure grip handle for panning
• 10.5″ - 40″ height with an 8.8 load capacity

The regular price is $69.99. So the savings is $56. What a bargain dahling! Buy.com has Weekly Deals that are worth checking out. I like to look for gifts for the upcoming holidays, for birthday gifts that I can keep on stock for birthday parties that my daughter is invited to and for things we need around the house too. The electronics department is my favorite though. There’s also books, DVDs, CDs and right now Halloween costumes and toys on sale. I like the variety and finding new things each week. It makes shopping online fun.
