Starfish Prime

Though this one isn't prime and a Starfish isn't a fish but a lesson was learned and promptly forgotten on that atoll and the distant islands that lost electrical power from the EMP that was yet to be discovered.

Grand Canyon North Rim

Only so much you can do with a JPG but I think you get the point, the Grand Canyon is a remarkable place.

Bearded days :)

I road the Salsa Fargo on this trip, and by the third day had the sore perineum to prove it. Thus the interest in the recumbents-though they have their share of problems too.

C&O Canal Towpath

Reflecting back to our ride last fall on the C/O. It was on thi ride that I saw my first recumbent bicycle!

Peyto Lake excuse.....

....an excuse to play in LR4; specifically noise reduction and the powerful gradient tool to get the blue skies everyone loves. I kept wondering how I'll use LightRoom.....it's not for cataloging, but for noise reduction and the gradient tool I think it has a place in my photographic life.

Laurel Fork Falls, the Eureka Chrysalis, packing the Zimmerbuilt

I'm working on a long timelapse vid and the first part of this vid is me dayhiking to get footage. Part two in this vid is trying out the Chrysalis hammock system by Eureka ~a big thanks to BajaHanger~, part 3 is test packing the Zimmerbuilt backpack. This Zimmerbuilt is focused on using the 'OBS=one bag system' where the entire hammock sleeping kit is stuffed into one compartment.

To WaterRock

Hiking to WaterRock Knob

Yesterday's hike.

I hiked in to Laurel Fork Falls yesterday for a timelapse sequence. So far I've been happy with little time lapses but I've begun assembling clips for a longer 'movie'. This is a still taken during the shoot using the Nex 6 and the kit powerzoom lens.,

Reflecting

Reflecting back to a time in Everglades Nat. Park.

He stands.

He stands like a stone wall.

Roll top dry bag and mesh front pocket round it out.

The roll top closure for the downy goodness and the large front mesh for the camp shoes and the sock if/when I separate it from the downy goodness; this has never happened but theoretically it could rain so hard and be raining when I'm taking down camp that I want to separate the hammock sock from everything else and treat it as a simple tarp-in which case it gets shoved into this mesh pocket.

Zimmer!

Just one nalgene (personally I use gatoraid bottles) in the side pocket.

Custom Zimmer noting full length side pockets

They will cinch down if not needed but can carry 2 nalgene sized bottles on each side or a honking tripod.

Just unzipped 7000+ pics and randomly picking a few for the photo blog

Metabike

First Picasa via the new CyberPower

Just a random pic from 'yesterday' running it through PS6, Nik Color Effects, and the Picasa upload to Blogger. Kona was right VERY fast.

Here's my friend Kona

7 feet tall and 450 pounds of steel.

Last one from the video.....

I really dont think the 16-50 power zoom is a bad lens at all. Yes it's a kit lens but some Sony kit lenses are G quality. this one isn't G level but stll I dont tink the results are bad at all.

Now rush this

Moving yet still

More moving stills

Moving water stills.

From Moving Waters of Ripshin

These were some of the stills used in the video.

Out of the kiddie pool!

The recumbent finally met its first trail- 7 miles on the Creeper and I can tell I am not ready for the Greenbriar on a recumbent! Same muscles but in a different way the 'bent pros say and I can tell I need time on the seat versus the saddle.

302 Star Field and Clouds

Moving Waters of Ripshin

I had to check on the cabin today and had 30 min's to spare, thought I show some of the other waters of Ripshin Mountain.

Nex-6 meets water

Went to check on the cabin this afternoon and had 30 minutes to set up the tripod.....the results are here. Nex-6, kit lens,
polarizing filter.

Star Field TL via Nex-6

If you look on YouTube you'll see 3 versions of this timelapse...versions differing based on adjustments made in Bridge as to white balance and exposure. When doing this it is a compromise as to how many stars do you want to reveal versus how much noise in the individual photos.

Great place to eat, sharp dumpster.

Post crop and Nik

Cropped down to give you a look at the detail possible wth the 35mm F1.8....so cropping and some Nik applied.

First excercise in LR4

Baby steps in Lightroom 4.0

You'll def. want to zoom in on this one and see how sharp the Nex-6 and 36mm F1.8 is.

Nex 7 and 35mm F1.8

I realized before today's walk I'd not put the 35mm F1.8 on the Nex-7. Here's an example straight out of the camera.
