"I'm going to get a dinghy and sail her up the West Coast........" It was a pleasure taking friends to Plockton for their first trip. As you can see, conditions were not ideal for clicking, very bright with no dramatic lumpy bumpy clouds for sky interest. So, this old wreck took his friends to this old wreck! At least the tide was playing ball. We had to share a tripod though. Which led to much discussion.

 

I really like my Three Legged Thing tripod. It is light but sturdy, functional but quirky. However, I am glad I am not the only one who finds the Swiss ARCA plate system fiddly and annoying. I much prefer the Manfrotto snap in style plate and thus I will be changing the head on my tripod. The system has it's weakness's too but it is quick and easy and I will be less paranoid about the connection.
