Well done noise for me is fantastic as it simulates grain. A tactile thing as well as nostalgia. Fil, nice work with the 5D. Had any Err20s yet? Mine has to go into canon for a repair. This damn err20 is annoying as all hell. Sometimes I shoot a whole card and no problems, other times, using the same card but formatted and fresh, I get 2 shots out of 50 shutter fires. sucks!
Nate, love the gritty feel of the steering wheel shot.

Any suggestions for a small tripod?
I suggest you don't cheap out on a tripod. If you do, you WILL end up buying a better one eventually, so just skip the newb step and buy a good one to begin with.

Yes. A helpful suggestion after Nate's extremely rude and useless reply.
I know what the OP is talking about with that shot. If it isn't a long exposure, you can always use your camera bag, a trash compactor bag, etc.
Yeah, I guess you can hike around (sprained ankle you said?) with an 055XPROB + 2lb head (if that's good enough for Nate ). I do if I know where I'm taking it, but not just for meandering around in the woods / climbing down that BOULDER in the photo...

I stole the trash compactor idea from a book I'm reading.
Ralph Clevinger's nature photography book?

had an awesome day today...got to see a private collection for class. guy's dad knew Ansel and had a bunch of personally noted/signed prints, etc. also had a bunch of other great prints (imogen cunningham, dorothea lange, weston, sexton) that we got to physically handle and look at while he talked about them... this one's for you, scott. i asked him about the extra 1/8" or so at the top and the damaged negative...he said his print is likely after the damage, but i dont' know if it has the extra bit at the top or not...   El Sig... 
Sorry I missed this. I moved and killed my computer in the process.
Anyway, I have just a hair more at the top and of course no signature. I need to photograph it eventually so I can try to track down where it's from (it's too big to be an original print, but it could be a third party reproduction from one of the early prints. It's awfully nice for a quick buck scammer. A couple weeks later, I bought a small print of Yosemite Falls from the same seller in a local antique mall that looks like a straight print from one of AA's negatives, very flat with lots of lost detail in the blacks and whites, but it was cheap. My guess is the seller picked them up at an estate sale since he/she made no effort to capitalize on AA's name or even the quality of the frames).
I heard the founder of your school had a massive personal collection of original prints from all the 20th century biggies (my commercial apps teacher got his masters at Brooks is still in love with the place).

I get what Nate was saying, don't buy a cheap pos tripod thats not going to last. But I think I'll try Scott's essentially free idea of a bag of rice duct taped shut first, along with a gorilla pod. Gonna toss those books on my amazon wish list too...
At some point you're going to have to get a good tripod so start looking now and make a wishlist that will last. For under $500 you can get a great legs and a head (wish women were this cheap...) that will last. You probably won't be into carbon fiber legs at that price but some great aluminum legs with macro arm and a good strong head will go a long way into crazy situational setups.

Whatever, if any of you guys don't believe me you've obviously never had a tripod fail. Or maybe you've never used a good tripod and that's why you think a cheap one is an acceptable solution. But by all means, don't listen to me. Try one for yourself.
Nate

and if you're buying gorilla pods to mount flashes to weird spots, look up the clamp. i don't know if another company makes one, but manfrotto's clamp is tits for putting it where it doesn't belong, and if you have something strong enough to clamp TO, it'll hold a lot of weight securely.
Justin Clamp. Very worth having, already has a cold shoe built in. And, it can mount a speedlight to a light stand without needing to buy a separate cold shoe. Though that said, I have a cold shoe (foot) that came with my SB-900 with a Manfrotto RC2 quick release plate mounted to it so I can turn my tripod into a lightstand when necessary - the spare plates cost about $8 a pop and are totally worth it, imo.
