(Pictured above left, mounted below my Manfrotto 410 Junior Geared Head, above right.)
While not essential for creating distant panoramic images, the Manfrotto 300N certainly makes the process far easier, and more precise, than hand-holding your camera or relying on a standard tripod head. It’s a tool that quickly proves its worth through consistent results and ease of use.

Another morning shot to catch the remaining mist which was lingering on the east shore of Loch Lomond. As you can see in the image below, the little clump of trees were shedding the last of their autumn colours and the mist surrounding them helped the trees really stand out in this minimulistic shot. The 25 second exposure I used also helped to smooth out any ripples and movement in the water, and just in time too, as the mist soon lifted revealing the landscape behind the trees which of course transformed the scene from this lovely, simple and uncluttered view into the complete opposite. Three other shots from the Loch Lomond mist morning shoot are also shown below as thumbnails.

An early start to the day rewarded me with this capture of the pre-dawn twilight glow washing over the Òran Mór arts and entertainment venue on Byres Road, Glasgow. I was lucky enough to frame this moment from Great Western Road, catching what appears to be a rare, empty street. In truth, the traffic was coming in waves, and I managed to time a 25-second long exposure perfectly, just before the next surge of cars rolled through.
Heavy rain through the night had left a generous puddle by the roadside, which I used to full effect by lowering my Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod for a reflective angle. A Hoya low-profile polarising filter on my Canon 17–40mm f/4.0 L lens helped draw out the detail and enhance the mirror-like reflection.
As a final touch, a delicate crescent Moon appeared just to the right of the Òran Mór building, a quiet bonus that added to the calm, layered beauty of the scene.
