I have two monopods, and Do use them
Great if you want to travel light, but not as good as a tripod for stability.
Excellent in crowds to get extra height (holding the camera over your head using a wide lens, remote release and luck) or combined with a butt holder (fishing accessory tip from member K10D) very useful in providing support for longer lenses.

What's your budget?
Saw a *ist (I think) in LCE Strand today - sure it was £90 body only, although they had a 18-55 with it as well.
Doesn't show when you do a search, so worth 'phoning.
Apologies in advance if I was hallucinating

If it's been on for 18 months, any special reason why you want to take it off now?
Might just be best to leave it as is.

Thanks John, that is a very useful addition to George's comments and is along similar lines.
I would never post an image that I thought was rubbish so i quite liked the overall atmosphere of these. But you are right, there is a lack of focus.
These comments really are crystalising my thoughts when I next go out and about.
I'm on a similar voyage myself - I can take perfectly good 'record' style photos all day, every day, but when I get home and review them all I think is 'so what?'. Thanks John, that is a very useful addition to George's comments and is along similar lines.

I'm slowing down, taking fewer shots, and before I press the button asking myself, 'What would someone who'd never seen this scene/subject, whatever, think if they saw this photo? Would they see what I'm seeing?'
Ok, it's a bit 'Zen' maybe, but, for me at least, I'm beginning to see a change for the better in my photos. I'm thinking twice before hitting 'delete'.

Each of the photos seem to be good technically, but (in my view) 1, 2 and 4 have an absence of main subject/focus/ purpose, call it what you will.
I look at them and there's nothing that grabs me; my attention wanders around the scene.
Conversely, shot 3 speaks to me - the old and the new, coming together with a common purpose.

You get the green hexagon to confirm where the camera thinks it's focused. Then you take the shot with the lens wide open, and see where it was actually in focus.
