Having the Manfrotto 300n panoramic head on my Manfrotto 190XPRO3 (new series) tripod is great for panoramic images, but adjusting the tripod legs to achieve precise leveling using the bubble level on top of the center column can be a bit cumbersome and sometimes quite time-consuming. To resolve this leveling issue, I decided to purchase a leveling base to quickly and accurately level the tripod.

After searching online and reading various reviews, I decided to go with the Manfrotto 338, which has a safety payload of 15kg—well above the weight of the heaviest gear I’d be using. It also weighs 600g and has 3 adjustment thumb knobs, which can be moved 5° in any direction, with additional locking screws once leveled.Read More


Solar Eclipse 2015

The weather today (Friday 20th March) in Glasgow was not looking good for this rare solar event as the sky was covered in clouds. I reluctantly set-up my camera and tripod just in case the sun broke through, but I was not convinced it would. To my surprise, not long after I set-up I saw the crescent Sun peek through the cloud cover and glimpsed my first Solar event.

I used a b&w 10 stop ND filter in front of my 400mm f5.6 L lens and used live view on my 5dMKIII DSLR to set the exposure etc. I got my first image around 9.17am and managed to get a few more images during the different phases of the eclipse until about 9.45 when it started to rain a little.

The shot below is my favourite of the few images I got as I like the drama taken place in the sky as the crescent Sun breaks through the cloud cover.
