I agree with you wholeheartedly. And, that's why I have this little
twinge of guilt for not using a tripod more often. I know it ends up
producing better photos, and forces you to be more deliberative in your
composition. And, yet ... when I shoot off a tripod, you might as

I completely agree with your view that these are all individual traits
in the photographer. I just can't help wondering if I'm limiting myself
by leaning too much on what I'm inclined to do with the camera, instead
of making more of an effort to break away from my habits.

I don't use a tripod most of the time. For how I shoot, it doesn't
really work. Plus, it's a real PITA to carry it around on a walk. If
I need some stability, my monopod is always attached to my main camera
bag.
About the only time I even take it with me is when I'm planning on

force yourself to try using the tripod for a period of time and
see if it does in fact improve your photography.

Boris, my photography instructor at Bakersfield College, Bertil Brink,
instilled the realization that if you got one good shot per roll, you were
doing well. He emphasized previsualization.

Thanks for the input! I think I may have come up with the best

one end of the chain (making sure the link is smaller than the head of
the bolt) -- screw into the camera, step on the
Other alternative is a 'Vise-Grip' pliers with a bolt or two braised onto them.
You then put a small ball head on the bolt and the Vise-Grip onto anything.

Agreed. A real-world baste solution if I ever saw one.

I use an A clamp from Home Depot. The big green ones already have a
hole in the handles. Put a 1/4-20 bolt through the hole with a nut
and washer and put your ball head on that. Costs about $2.
It's very similar to a Justin Clamp that costs $25.
