Went out this morning with my new tripod over my shoulder for a play on my way to today's job:
EOS 20D, 17-40mm, no PP
For quite a few years now my main tripod has been a Benbo Trekker, and I've become very familiar with setting it up and tweaking it as required for each shot. Now I'm using a Gitzo which is a whole new style. It's taking a bit of getting used to, but this morning was a positive experience.
It was really nice being able to walk around, find a composition, and then set the tripod up to match. With the Trekker I have to compromise and pick only lower viewpoints: with the G1348 I can put the camera at eye-height. Mind you, I was a lot slower working with the G1348 than I would be with a Benbo, but that should change over time.
Coming to terms with the different leg adjustment style on the Gitzo was hard enough, but at least I wasn't having to tweak the legs to get the ballhead level: the Manfrotto 438 levelling base is easy to use. It does add some more weight to the rig, but so far I'm glad I had it. It made my vertical shots easy to set up (the camera I was using this morning did not have an L-bracket attached and thus for the verticals I was using the drop slot on the B1 head) and the one pano I tried was also simple (there was also a double-bubble on the camera).

This image is a good capture.........but as it looks part sepia, how would it look all sepia or B&W with a bit more contrast as I find the blue drawings a bit distracting along with the yellow area as these two areas takes your eye away from the main point of focus......

Interesting idea. Mind you, most of my thoughts when looking at this image are based around how to tweak the composition when I go back for another shot. I should try to think in mono more often.
