Tell me when you take photos of streams or water for e.g. do you actually sometimes stand in the water? How would you go about cleaning your tripod? And do you use a weight bag to stabilze the tripod? It's getting to that time of year for autumn shots !! Maybe I should invest in a pair of wellies too...
@trevsky77 Yes I've stood in the water intentionally, and I've also fallen in! I usually just use a dry cloth to wipe down the tripod legs. Then, once or twice a year I'll take it apart and do a thorough cleaning. Fresh water doesn't really hurt it. Sand and salt water can be a bit corrosive though. I use a Gitzo 1325 which is very stable, and does not require any extra weight to stabilize it. Of course with a light aluminum tripod, a sandbag would be helpful.

I really haven't found them necessary using the techniques mentioned in the video. They are a great tool for landscapes at sunrise or sunset however.

Wow. Great images! Plus, it is so hard to find this kind of information, all the settings right next to the actual photo. Thanks a million.
