Tripods Explained at I Like Cameras
The new website I Like Cameras has an in-depth look at tripods, perhaps not the most exciting of subjects, although the author of the article obviously disagrees:
“Let me start this with a seemingly odd statement; tripods are exciting. Tripods will satisfy the deepest gear addiction streak you can muster. They hands down beat megapixels, telephoto lenses and camera bodies for depth and entertainment value. Tripods come closer to religion amongst professional photographers than Canon vs. Nikon. Forget getting a black bodied camera, get a good tripod and your pro-quotient will triple.”

hank you for the mention, Mark. I have PhotographyBLOG in my feed reader and use it for all my up-to-date photography news.
And I see you have a Manfrotto 055. Bet you were excited when you got it.

Interesting reading, Paul, but I would like to have seen some proof as
to your claim of the tripod's indispensability, and just how much clarity
difference you get from a $1000 tripod vs. a $100 tripod, which I think
would also have been interesting reading.
