The aftermath from Grimes, last Tuesday. One signed poster and a t-shirt from the support act, HANA. All fairly cheap as well, so I'm really pleased with that.

Shirt's already needed a repair, though. Damn American Apparel... :grumpy:

Coincidentally I just picked up Art Angels recently. 👍

Are these any good? I'm interested as I'd like to go slightly brighter and whiter with my main beam, dipped and driving lights without the full LED upgrades.

I recommend.
 
Got tired of checking my phone to look at the time so now I can check the time to look at my phone.

@Mike Rotch Pablo and Rusty hey.
What happened to the Campos, trouble getting it?

These guys are just down the road from me, whereas Campos is a bit of an effort to get. Figured I'll give these guys a trial run to see if they are worthy suppliers 👍

I love extension tubes. Really allow some shallow DOF. Glass-less ones have a massive negative impact on light though so be prepared to stop your shutter or up your ISO.

So much fun to be had testing lenses, especially long lenses etc.

I bought a cheap set of rings off ebay to scan my MF stuff but they don't lock onto the lens thread properly and it makes me nervous when i'm hanging a camera vertically off the floor, hence these. These are sans focusing glass, so shouldn't add any optical interference :)
 
Discovered through a quite lovely documentary on Netflix. Accentuates my love for the outdoors: 180 Degrees South.

This is all @Shaun 's fault :p

Went to a semi annual camera market today chiefly to look at MF wares and came away with this:

Mamiya m645 1000s w 80/2.8 Sekor lens and metered prism

Lens is mint, body is good nick too. Needs new light seals though and I will order a waist level finder :) I looked at the 67's but those are just a bit too beeeg.
 
Decided to bite the bullet on a pair of Swiss Barefoot Company socks. As some may know I've been wearing barefoot shoes for just of over a year now. This is everyday work, rest & play.

So my migration from a 3mm Kevlar reinforced sole to a Dyneema material toe sock seemed a natural choice before being completely barefoot on the street etc.

I've also ordered a pair for the fiancée to try and toughen her feet up and eradicate some of the horrid damage women's shoes have done to her feet.

I ordered some of these for the Alfa yesterday. Used them on the Pug too - they certainly do the job.

I had them in my Volvo and Focus, they are really bright but unfortunately they burn our rather quickly. You might want to keep a spare set in your car in case they go down in the line of duty at night.

I handled the Pentax 67 and its a bit of a beast. I'm not sure LF is on the agenda....yet.

Extension rings are awesome, but for what you're doing, be careful with the combinations or you'll get entirely too close!

Ordered a pair of compression pants, hoping it gets me more active when the weather isn't completely terrible but isn't shorts worthy, either.

Hitting Taum Saux Moutain State Park in the coming week.

Buddy didn't have a proper headlamp, so I got him this.

It's gonna be dark, it's gonna be raining, it's gonna be tough. This trail isn't all that easy from what I've been reading, but might try to do it through and through which will add up to 29 miles hiked. (14.5 miles one way.)

Also, I got him a rain cover for an old pack that I have for him.

I've been burning through money. :crazy:

New Mortal Kombat X poster. Bought it from Walmart for about $2. Awesome poster with a good size.

And also some new Pokemon Plushies.

On the left we have a Tomy Minun Plushy and on our right we have an official Pokemon Center Zygarde 10% form plushy. Zygarde 10% is a rare one since it has yet to be sold here in America by the Pokemon Center. So where did I bought it off from? I got it off Pokevault. All of their merchandise are Japanese imports, which would obviously include the Zygarde 10% plushy.

Also I kinda like the Japanese tag designs better than the English ones IMO. Not that I would buy Japanese Pokemon Plushies because of that. Here's a comparison of Zygarde's tag with my Chesnaught's tag.

Got some new headphones they are much better than I expected for $10 and they fit in my ears really well.

Ah yes, the camera that convinced me that my D800E can actually be the compact/lightweight choice. Really great lenses though. I do want an LF setup at some point though, even more now that I've seen some of Richard Avedon's portraits with 8x10 in person, although he shot many of my favourite photos of his on 6x6.

After Netflix pulled it when I just started Season 3 and no other streaming service having it, I decided to get the boxset when it got to a sensible price.

Should keep me going a while...

SG-1 is really good stuff! 👍

Rewatching SG-1 with my boys is the reason I signed up for Amazon Prime.
