As above - quirky, but interesting. I think ChrisA's idea of a 6 image triptych is a good one - that would need printing to get the effect.
Number 3 image composition; I thinks it's right though as you have offset the 'neck' from centre, my eyes wants to see a bit more of the 'shoulder' area

Number 2 for me - the blurred background gives something other than just plain sky yet doesn't distract from the subject.

Andy, I assume you mount the camera on the right hand side of the tripod, as viewed from the rear? At least that way any droop at the front will act to tighten, rather than loosten, the plate.
Yes that is correct - I only went for the small ball head wanting something lightweight and solid for travelling. I agree about an extra pin hole though - would be very useful!Andy, I assume you mount the camera on the right hand side of the tripod, as viewed from the rear?

A hole in the base of your K-5 might be useful if the camera gets soaked and the seals fail; it would allow water to drain out

If its the plate I have (RSH-61) - ie the small one, I had that problem. I basically tightened the 'wing-nut' as tight as it would go, but with the plate not set quite square, and then used the plate itself to finish tightening to get it square with camera base. It would then work fine in portrait mode.
I hope the explanation was clear - although you have obviously got it sorted!

Yes it is Joe. If you look at goggle maps, it is on the Chepstow side of the river where the A48 and railway cross the Wye.
