The last thing photography is about is realism.

What is important to understand with tripods is that a sharp image is just
one of the beneifits of using one. A tripod tends to slow the process of taking
a picture down, which is usually but, obviously not always, a good thing. It
allows the maker to examine the scene and compose it just
It is about capturing the visual experience/sensation so that someone else
feels what you did. Photography can not be reality or literal, because, for
among other things, you have transformed something from 3D space to a 2D
plane.

good picture. Or whatever.

handheld or that I just purchased a 120 soft lens for it.
For me, a tripod represents the best way to take a photograph to get
the technical aspects correct. Not only does it provide for a sharper
picture, but it really aids in

Hi!
In light of recent tripod talk the following thought occured in my

The smaller sensor/film is, the worse is the effect of shake. This is
because even small motion of the camera while shutter is open would
translate in larger effect relative to the frame size. Also, smaller
