10. As always - lovely pictures

Are you doing handheld or do you use a tripod?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Ah, my dear GoneOffShore! I thank you.

My big zoom lens (100--400mm) is quite heavy. For me, the tripod is a necessity. I actually don't mind it.

It's like having an extra pair of hands! I can zoom in or out; I can adjust what I see before I take the photo, since it's mirrorless. And like that. The tripod is very useful and the more I use it, the easier it gets.

13. I don't use my tripod very much, as I mostly use my 30mm lens.

By the way, I sent you a link on FB about red sprite lightning that I thought you would like. It is on the 'Everything French', but I don't think you have to join it to see it.

14. I'll see if I can find it. Thanks!
