Seriously trivial thoughts
Took two weeks off for Christmas and New Years. My gf was only able to take one week, but we made the most of it. We had the entire family gathered for Christmas: Mom and Dad, all five kids with significant others, and amazingly all 11 grandkids! It was a special evening for sure. I …
Been dying to take my 70-200 f/2.8 out for a spin and decided to just take the dogs out in the backyard. Was hoping to get some panned shots of one of them in full stride, but sadly neither the sun nor the dogs were very cooperative. In any event, the lens is spectacular albeit a …
I am totally on board with this concept! I’m sure I’ll find other uses, but I can see this being incredibly useful with fine-tuning Adobe Lightroom parameter adjustments which is problematic using a mouse. The $180US price tag is a bit steep and the estimated shipping isn’t until August 2016, but I’ll be watching this …
This touch input device looks very interesting. It will be interesting to see how well it works in the real world after it ships. Personally, I’ll be very interested in its use with graphics and music-creation applications. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2aWmA_2jw]
Some photos from the Black Friday Adoption Event at Pet Supply Plus on Friday, November 27, 2015. Only a couple dogs on hand, but always a fun time. Snapped a couple birds and a bunny for good measure LOL.
I recently checked out a free issue of N-Photo, a magazine devoted to Nikon users, using their iOS app and really like it. Subscription through the N-photo app was a steep $59.99 which seemed like a lot for a monthly magazine. Now, I’ve been using Zinio for years to read various magazines on my mobile devices, …
Visited another local “pond” named Plaza Lake to try out my new Nikon 70-200 f/2.8. Overcast day and probably would have preferred the reach of my 150-600, but I had to get out of the house and try this baby! It’s a little heavy, but less than I expected. Sharp as a tack.
I guess it’s just the accountant in me, but I have to see stuff like this in tables. I’ve highlighted 9% and above discounts. The 13% discount on the 70-200mm 2.8 is especially interesting to me ;-)
Went to the air show last weekend and tried out my Tamron 150-600mm F/5-6.3 mounted on my Nikon D7200. I also brought along my D750 and some primes so my bag was pretty darn heavy. I had plenty of length with the cropped sensor D7200 and Tamron, but getting good focus on propeller planes was …
