Way overdue

After using this tripod for over 10 years, it was slightly hard to untwist the legs to extend or retract them from my last session. Even though, it has always been cleaned after each session, signs of wear and tear started to show up.

I simply took it apart, cleaned with water/ soap, re-assembled it, and added some grease.

Dynamic Sunrise on New Year's day.

Having magic lantern loaded on my Canon 5D2 and using a wide angle lens, it was a good opportunity to test (again) the built-in bracketing feature for some HDR shots.

Bracketing was set for 7 shots at 1 EV increment. Processing was done through Lightroom with Google Nik Collection HDR Efx Pro.

Mahalo!
