Quote: SANDISK 8GB ULTRA SDHC CARD
Costco??? I got the same cards cheap at Costco, and they sell Eneloops also some times.
As for tripod, they are at every other yard sale and dozens at the flea market. Thats one of those things I can't see paying full price for. I already have like 10 or 12 of them I picked up. Most I only paid a dollar or two for, and a few of them are pretty nice tripods. A few of them were missing the plate with the screw, but I just found a matching bolt that fit my threads perfectly and made my own plate by running the bolt through the tripod. (When you only have a buck or two invested your not as squemish about drilling holes!)
I also ordered a couple of the mini-tripods for my Craigslist camera (Dimage Z2) and my little Olympus cameras. You can get those on e-pay for a buck or two shipped from China. I even got one in bright red to match my K-x, but the camera swallows it whole. not really practical. I shoot lots of product shots and wanted a tripod for shots a couple inches off the ground. (Like for photographing a stereo receiver or mini-speaker sitting on the ground, etc)
For light reflection I use a couple aluminum food envelopes for grilling. Just unfold them for a GREAT cheap light reflector!
They were originally purchased for
"Manifold Destiny" (Google it) which is cooking food on your engine manifold of your car. We've done it many times with various levels of success, but we don't do it anymore. Now we just stop at Subway. It was fun when we did it though!!!
