I have always resisted using a tripod and felt even more so when approached by a person who had been on one of your courses as I was photographing in The Wintergarten and told that if I didn't use a tripod, my images would all be no good. My response was "I am photographing impressionistic images using movement" (which was true). However, I now have a Manfrotto tripod which I am beginning to use more but it does require a certain amount of patience when one prefers the decisive moment. That being said, I have never managed to take a shot that looks anything like your splendidly excellent photo above. This is a really informative posting and one that I will probably refer back to.

Saving for a pano head to use with it. Sometimes guilty as charged for leaving it at home, in the car or cant be bothered because its so heavy. I realise the error of my ways and will heed your advice in future :) Stay well. Hamba kahle Tony.
