I agree completely with mr Resor. The longer the focal length used and the larger the aperture, the softer any given transition will appear. Also, in my opinion, the over-use in the late Galen Rowells images is not one of too hard a transition but of too high density. But that is of course a matter of taste. I sure wish I had pictures like his in my portfolio...

How about this alternative? Don't throw away your money on costly, though excellent, tripods. I have bought the kind of tripod that is used for geodetic surveys for the equivalent of $80 (in Sweden). It is heavy (=stable) and indestructible, goes from 0 to 170 cm and all legs move independently. Since the tripod was that cheap, I could afford to invest in an Arca-Swiss monoball instead. The only possible draw-back is that it doesn't get shorter than one metre when collapsed, but on the other hand - portability invariably comes at the expence of stability. (One source of similar tripods that I know of in the US: http://www.benmeadows.com)
