Review – Marsace MT-01 Tabletop Tripod
I’ve used tabletop tripods a great deal when younger, mostly for macro work. Later, I found my use of these small supports waned, mostly due to equipment getting heavier.

This was the first outing for the Elinchrom ELB400 in early spring 2016. This particular image was among the last to be shot on that day.
The final day at the World Food Championships was the big one. All category winners were going head to head with the aim of being crowned WFC World Champion 2016, and taking home the $100,000 prize.
Ultimately, the World Food Championship is all about the food. From BBQ to Seafood, and Chilli (or Chili if you’re from over the pond) to Cake. It’s all going on.

Travelling to the USA seems like a fun idea. New places, new sites and sounds and new friends. What a great idea. Oh, I almost forgot. I’m working. Well, that’s ok. I’ll just pack a few things. You know, a camera, a lens or two, it’ll be easy. Phhhttt!
