Was thinking about a Pelican case but not sure.
You’ll love the Pelican whenever you take that kayak out but any other time you aren’t in a boat it will be nothing more than a cumbersome way to haul around a body and a lens or two.
Not really a big fan of the studio gear shots but, hey, they are technically good.
I like the 4th under “pets”, did you do that w/ the zoom or in post-processing?
4) Put saltine crackers and a ton of Cavender’s Original Greek Seasoning (available at Wal-Mart and made in Harrison, Arkansas) into a gallon Ziploc bag;
Another tip, throw out the big yellow thing of Cavender’s you’ve had forever and go buy the kind in the blue container, add a little sea salt and you’re good to go..
Well the K100D is actually slightly more expensive than the D40 and Rebel XT and the K10D is slightly more expensive than the D40x and Rebel XTi…..
Some savings could definitely be had if you were going to shop for a bunch of used glass though.
The D40(x) is a lot of camera for the money, not the Nikon to buy if you’ve already got a stash of lenses though.
I googled around for a minute, kind of hard to figure out what search terms to use on that though. I found (and now can’t find again) the abstract to some article you’d have to pay for saying that it’s just flat out illegal some places, okay if you’ve got a CDL in others, and that there are a few that look at the ratios of how long each part of the “train” is.
From back in the day I think New York was listed as one as well as being the strictest enforcer, there were several others on the list too. This was in some outdoors magazine like Field and Stream or Outdoor Life that I picked up in a dentist’s waiting room, btw.
Still I bet you’d have less problems as far as getting pulled over with a small trailer and a drifter as opposed to a 30 ft 5th wheel and an 18 foot bass boat.
well, yeah, relatively straight back your good if your careful… try doing a hard 90 with it at, oh say, a boat ramp or camp ground though, truck turns the trailer one way, trailer turns the boat the other. I’d rather sleep in the truck than play musical trailers everytime you get at the end of a long drive, although those airstreams are pimp.
if you’re serious about it your going to want an Engel. Can’t seem to find a US site, heres the Australian one: http://www.engelaustralia.com.au/ There are plenty of US dealers though.
Don’t be fooled by cheap ones you might have used in the past, these things can make ice and only draw 2.5 amps (and that’s only while cycling). Get a decent battery and you can leave it running for days w/out starting the truck. Read up on them.
Here’s my question, why can’t I find a cheap version of a Tibor/Abel/Bauer/other cork disc reel?
You used to be able to get great ones from Old Florida before they decided to go solely with the Nautilus line.
I’m all about some manipulation of the color saturation, contrast, hue and stuff like that hell it’s the main reason I shoot in RAW but patching stuff in the post-edit to add/take stuff away from the photo (other than dust spots and stuff) is just cheap.
