I'm putting a set of the Kinetiks on my Tundra with Kings. They arrived a couple of days ago and they are gorgeous. Had thought about a LT setup for about 17 seconds. Came to the conclusion that it might be overkill but I'm going to keep it in my back pocket for a possible upgrade later. Curious...

I'm beginning some research to jump from an FJ into a Tundra after the first of the year. My FJ has an Icon kit but I'm going to switch to Kings for the Tundra. My confusion comes with the leaf packs. What did you gain by adding leafs to what you received from Icon? Do the leafs become softer...

I hear ya on that one. My workflow is based totally around LR. When I had my studio, I was able to get through a wedding edit in about 4 hours. Roughly 2500 frames down to 600 with color correction. I had a bunch of Automator scripts that would run the export from LR for prints and FTP them...

I'm kicking around the idea of dumping all my Canon gear and buying a Leica M-E with a 35 and a 50. I'm getting tired of lugging a backpack full of gear and using a DSLR. I want to go smaller, travel lighter, be less obtrusive and make less noise. Has anyone played with or own one? Thoughts?

I had been a member of NAPP. Never took one of their course but used the web site quite a bit when I first made the transition to digital. What do you need help with? I'd be more than happy to do a Skype screen share or something and walk through a few things with you. I've got a pretty good...

Thanks. If I didn't have a funding issue these days, I'd just pick up a II or III as well. You must be near Irvine. I didn't know they had the trade up and I have no issue with a refurb. I'm going to look into that. Thanks for the head's up.

Climbing over Kingston Peak yesterday. Wish I'd been able to shoot more but after 11 years, my 5D is dying a slow death. Going to try picking up some new batteries this week and see what happens but this feels like the defining moment to finally switch back to film. Got my 1V dusted off and...

I put this in the wrong thread last night so I'm reposting it over here. I'd been playing around with panos in the backyard but this is my first one out in the open. I've got a few more spots in my head where I'd like to do some more.

ah, cool, thanks for pointing that out.

It's been quite some time since I've been around. Been dodging a few curve balls lately and I haven't picked up a camera in months. Last week I decided to try and change that by learning something new, panoramas. I've had a RRS pano kit forever but hadn't ever used it. Played around a bit in the...

sale pending

I would like to sell my Canon 500mm f/4 L IS with some extra goodies. I've owned this lens since purchasing it new. It had a lot of use the first few years that I owned it which was when I did some freelance magazine work. For the past 4 years or so, it has sat in the box coming out occasionally...

how do you get the flies to sit still while you tie them up? :sombrero: been awhile since i've posted anything but here are a few from last week. hopefully the monitor recalibration i did the other week clears up the darkness issue you guys were seeing.

i don't edit on the laptop, just the desktop. i'm going to recalibrate the desktop monitor this morning and see what happens. thanks for the feedback.

hmm. super weird. i did just install the latest update to LR. wondering if that jacked my presets and i'm just overlooking it. both my 5D bodies are also pushing 10 years... here's a link to a gallery of older stuff. if you have a minute, will you take a gander and let me know how those show...
