This one here is likely one of the most rewarding shots from 2010. It took lots of patience and luck on my part, after a couple of days I captured what I visualized.
Some spectacular shots for sure guys, keep them coming.
Crotch piercings aside, what’s the body on that clouser??
Green & white bucktail
Krystal flash “Herring Back”That is a hell of a shot. It has got to be tough to hit such a small target.
;D
How did I know I would get some heat for this one, it was to funny not to post. I have to laugh at myself every now and then ;D
Lucky it was not in the rear end, if not I’d be the butt of all the jokes around here 😀If you shot the photos in RAW mode, you’ll have more flexibility correcting White Balance (WB) in post. The indoor tungsten lights is most likely what’s causing the yellowish/orange tint in your photo.
Home made speedlite diffuser. Money spent zero, easily packable, weighs almost nothing. Works great indoors, I have not tried it outdoors yet, so I can’t really say it works outdoors. I would think the home made diffuser would provide similar results outdoors as well.
David, if you happen to have a newer flat screen TV with the RGB PC plugin, you could use it as a monitor. I have a 1080p 42″ flat screen I plug my PC into and it’s bad @ss! It’s just a thought and could save you some money.
I bought a tripod and it pretty much solved the soft image issues. It’s actually hard for me to get real steady when standing. When hand holding it’s best to try and lean on something to help steady yourself and the camera. Most soft images IMO are due to camera shake. It’s hard to get tack sharp images when hand holding, not impossible though. Another trick I learned is to shoot in burst mode if you are hand holding the camera. In burst mode you will likely get some sharp images and some not so sharp, the method works for me.
I have used a Seychelle Water Filtration bottle for the last 4 years with no problems as of yet. It’s great while backpacking or while fly fishing on the river or creek, I just dip the bottle and fill up on the river, screw the cap back on, and it’s ready to start drinking, simple and easy to use.
I have been using the Induro C-314 for almost a year now. I purchased it from Andorama on sale for $249, I really scored on a awesome tripod IMO. This Induro tripod retails for a little more than double the amount of what I paid. It’s rock solid and very durable, it has been trouble free since day one!
It’s my understanding that Tamron has a six year limited warranty. If there is no physical damage send it to the Tamron service center. Here is a link to the site with the information Tamron-USA.
Zach, on the first night of backpacking you can still eat that big steak. My friend Mike turned me on to the idea. Prepare the stake at home, add all your seasoning and vacuum pack it, put it in the freezer. Put the frozen steak in between your sleeping back, wrapped up of course. When you get to your destination for the first night you will have a nicely thawed out steak ready to be pan seared or grilled.
We have had a nice steak dinner on several occasions, and boy does it really hit the spot after a tough day of backpacking.
