After using the excellent Manfrotto 055PROB tripod for over 5 years for my landscape photography, I found myself searching for something more manageable. The weight and increased height with my Manfrotto 300n panoramic head attached made it a bit cumbersome during landscape outings that required long walks.
Evening twilight by the River Clyde revealed these perfect reflections of the Glasgow Clyde Arc Bridge.
This photograph was taken at the Lancefield Quay side of the River Clyde which has undergone some development to extend the ncr75 walkway, which allows this unique and splendid view of the Clyde Arc bridge to be photographed. I took various shots of the bridge from this viewpoint from landscape to portrait orientation while the evening twilight was descending, and the reflections remained absolutely still and crystal clear for the duration I was there. This square crop of the bridge is my favorite as it shows not least of all the stunning detail of the reflection and the blue hour twilight just before darkness fell.

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.
