I would certainly be interested how they SPUR creativity. Heh.
For me, I find I spend more time, once set, up trying variations of
exposures and compositions.

Har, I just wrote about tripods and their creative effect, maybe I
should put it on a blog.

For night shots, portraits, and macros, yeah, you definitely/usually
need
a tripod. But it's like, hey, cutting down on my inspiration. Or the
inspiration I get by moving around. I suppose, technically, one could
do set up
shots first, move around all you want to try out angles, then pick a
place
and use a tripod there. But that wastes a lot of effort too, if those
move
around shots are naturally going to be blurry without a tripod.
I have one of these stuffed in my bag:

It's not as stable as a regular tripod, but it's good enough to get your
camera strapped to something or set on something so you can aim it
correctly.
That way you can be spontaneous and you're not lugging around 20 pounds
of "maybe I'll need this".
Granted - with the K5 and the 16-50, that's a fair amount of weight on
this tiny thing so I don't find myself strapping that combo to vertical
poles much!
Also: I like this shot you did. Great lighting and exposure. Like I
think Paul mentioned, I might rotate it a bit to square it up but that's
about it.
