8 of the most Instagrammable spots in Manchester, England
Mdbeckwith We adore Manchester in the north of England and part of the United Kingdom´s third largest metro area (pop. 569,000).

hahahaha I hope the info all helps. ;-)
It can be a very daunting thing purchasing equipment. I often give advise in one of my businesses where I teach photography.
* Two things things everyone should know about tripods. (if you are going to buy a large tripod)
1. You want your camera to come up to your eye level (if you can)
2. Try not to use tripods that you need to wind up the centre stem because if you have to wind that means you will have little gears and gears break.
For the very small tripods checkout the brand name Gorilla. I do not think they will hold DSLR cameras though.
Hi Jacquie
I've been an international travel photographer/photojournalist for 19 years so I have some knowledge in this.
The basic rule with tripods is it will depend on the weight of lenses you are going to use.
You will tend to find that shooting interiors you would use smaller lenses and for outdoor/some landscapes/sport/wild life you will use bigger lenses.
I use manfrotto 055 ART my last one lasted 18 years but I broke it last year and got the same tripod to replace it.
Ed is right you can improvise when your in a pinch BUT one can "never" make do properly. If you need a tripod and you don't have one or you don't have a good one then your images will suffer.
Check carbon fiber tripods they tend to be a little expensive but they are lighter and very strong.
Last thing to consider is the head you get on the tripod. If you are using heaver equipment then you will also need a heavy duty head. My tripods total weight it 5kg. It's a nightmare for a travel photographer but I need strength for the work I do.
You can also use a high ISO to off set no tripod but this is more of a band aid fix, for the quality of your images you should use a low ISO where you can.
I hope this gives you some things to think about.
Regards Martin
