"Play 'em off!"
slik? Or manfrotto/gitzo, or just tripods in general?

The slik of course!

Taking photos with your camera is just like listening to music through your stereo. The only difference is your listening with your eyes. Fine tune your eyes and take the time, experiment until you find what you like.

hehehe Slik is a cheap, entry level brand that is about as stable as Krakatoa was. Just my experience. Better to buy a better quality tripod such as those made by Manfrotto or Gitzo come to mind.

This is an excellent post Carl! Thanks for posting and/or reviving. One more thing I would add if it wasn't mentioned already... If your camera is capable... by all means shoot in RAW! You can do much more in RAW when it comes to tweaking your image than you'll ever be able to in jpeg and it's non destructive. You can always go back (as long as you save the Raw file) and re-adjust. Think of it in music terms... Raw would be closer to a Flac file where as jpeg is more mp3.
