Tripod, Wireless Remote and Circular Polarizer

Ahh the the three things that I need. And wow they are expensive as well

I am currently looking at the following model:
Tripod:  Bogen/Manfrotto 725B Digi Black Tripod with Ballhead (Quick Release) = USD 112.95
Use for: My cheap tripod broke and my friend, Supri, recommends me to get Bogen Tripod.
Used before: Yeah I tried Supri’s Bogen, wow it’s so solid and stable. But his is the more advanced one, it can do vertical as well and custom ballhead as well.

Wireless Remote: Canon RC-1 Wireless Remote Control = USD 24.95
Use for: dont want to wait for 10 seconds timer to avoid movements hehe.

Circular Polarizer: 
1. Hoya 72MM Circular Polarizer Glass Filter = USD 64.50; OR
2. B&W 72MM Circular Polarizer Glass Filter Slim = USD 99.95
Use for: to filter reflections on the water/windows and to make the sky more blue

Argghh easily $300++

I think I am going to wait on the polarizer and get the two most needed items. No tripod means no photo. And the wireless is needed to get out of that 10 seconds timer. All prices are taken from B&H.

Great we’ll see then and it’s Thursday that means I can not do long exposure shooting this weekend. That’s too bad
