I've always considered a heavy, solid tripod to be the most important accessory one can have because on a tripod, you are maximizing the performance of your lens. I have gone as far as to tape an eight or nine inch piece of thin wire to the back of a camera, like an antenna, and squeeze the cable release only when the wire stops twitching.
Oh BTW, that is a beautiful piece, Brad. Damn it, I'm running out of wall space.
