PESO: Wild Mango

[Alan C]

The Wild Mango (Cordyla Africana) is a less common Lowveld tree. It's 
fruit is eaten by many animals. The tree in this Peso was planted by the 
Boy Scouts in a Phalaborwa Park on National Tree Planting day about 
1990. Scroll L for a close up of the fruit.

That’s not rated for as much weight as my Benro BH3, but the problem is that 
I’ve switched from manfrotto QR plates to Arca Swiss. When I went to upgrade 
the last time I found that there was an upper limit to the ratings of the 
manfrotto QR compatible gear.



 It turns out that Benro now makes an Arca-swiss compatible pan tilt head: 
https://benrousa.com/benro-hd3a-3-way-pan-head/

It’s rated for 26 pounds, which isn’t bad and is available for under $120, 

Here it is on the warrior chick site

Nice effect though.  Did you have the ISO totally maxed out?  It looks like 
there might be motion blur, but almost as if you held the camera still for most 
of the exposure then moved it.

Thank you.

There is no much of a backstory here.
There were leaves, a stream, pre-twilight sky.
