Tom C articulated - " Shooting a landscape with an SLR on a tripod is useful for the same reason as putting any camera on a tripod... stability... a more deliberate composition... works especially well with a ballhead IMO"
Yes but it can also limit your compositional options if you simply plop down your camera & tripod, compose and expose. The fact that you already have you camera on a tripod will limit you to the height limits of the tripod or more likely you'll simply take the image at the height the tripod is set to. I always use a tripod, (well 99.9% of the time), but try to hand hold the camera before I put it on the tripod to check out the options for compositions. For that matter I try to see the image through my un-camera aided eye to determine what lens I want to use.
