MOOOOOOO CARDS!!!!
Just got a few things in today. Moo cards are something I’d heard of before coming from flickr. They’re actually an independent company that just has the ability to use your flickr images to make cards (that’s how I did these). They’re from London but have a US “base” that just happens to be in…

New Gear; Tenba Insert/DIY backpack!
Well I’ve been working on another DIY bag project lately. I’ve used nothing but shoulder bags for a long time now, but with the lenses I’ve been carrying around they aren’t ideal all the time. So I’ve been wanting a backpack/sling bag to help distribute the load, but keep my gear within a quick unzip…

Bag: Lowe Pro Top Load Zoom!
I can’t believe I don’t have a post on this yet? Anyway, this is the holster bag I ski with. It’s not perfect, but it’s really good. The strap system sucks, but not bad enough I’ve replaced it yet (which would be pretty easy). It works as needed.

DIY GND
This is an idea I’ve been playing with for a while now. I use X-pro cokin filters and they don’t have a a 10-stop ND available. Actually, no one does. So I took some plexi, got it cut down to the right size and took it to the local tint shop and had them put…

New Gear: boda dry bag!
Sold 4 bags earlier this week so I could try a boda. I’ve been stalking these online for a while now but always felt they were priced a bit high, at least for me. But looking at the design, it’s well done, and finding them for 25% off (instant rebate) I couldn’t resist after my…

Canon 5D mark II
Well after a 2.5 month wait (I pre-ordered 9/23) I FINALLY have my new camera. It’s not that this camera is a huge upgrade in any one spec I needed, it’s a sum of it’s parts that appealed to me. I don’t need 21mp for most of what I shoot, but at times it’ll be…

Leica D-Lux 3
I finally picked up a P&S camera that “doesn’t suck”. I use quotes because I’m not sure yet. I’ve had a few P&S digital cameras in the past and I’ve hated them all to the point that they rarely get used. So what good are they then? My criteria for the new P&S were as…
