How can you use this tripod without a head? sigh, no more money to buy ball head already...whew!!!
Nov. 2008
IMG_7034-2
Lots of gear complicates things. So, to carry only one tripod on an outing with various lenses and subjects, I modified several items for one, do-it-all, tripod arrangement. The whole issue is around the concept of a 'gimble' and versatility. Gimbles are used basically for large, heavy lenses but I wanted this to be for 'everything'! This setup is a Promaster gimble mount to which I've added several things. The gimble allows 3 dimensional steady shooting and is good for heavy lenses, and I think it will be good for movies, too, as well as a general tripod. I modified a Manfrotto long lens cradle, and then attached a promaster ball camera mount to the platform of the Manfrotto item which I then attached to the gimble. Quick release mounts were used for the interface between gimble and mount and between mount and camera. I can get vertical and horizontal positions and everything in between. The Manfrotto modification was/is necessary to get the left-side camera body away from the upright portion of the gimble' upright. A separate piece could have been made but I converted The Manfrotto piece I already had. Elevating the camera allows the camera to turn on either on the ball head to which it is mounted, or, alternately, from the gimble control--2 ways depending on what you get used to or perhaps what you are shooting. My Nikon D810 will do movies. If I had an opportunity to capture movement in a smooth and professional fashion while taking stills, why not??? I do shoot one heavy telephoto, one about 7 lbs [old Questar 700], and everything in between down to 14-24mm wide angle and up to about 1200 mm telephoto. For me, and I'm still getting used to it, the smoothness of the gimble is pleasant, and it can be 'locked' into position, or loosened for a more steady flow on moving objects, again for longer lenses and movies. The Promaster gimble is very smooth in movement and is significantly less expensive than the name brands. Mine cost about $140 in Topeka, Kansas. Others are well above $500.
holding the manfrotto
monopod ..stealthily
she shot the dreamer
in conversation with god
complaining grumbling
pleading to change
the beggary of his life
give him a ticket to
freedom send him
abroad ..life here
a gamblers dice
rough shod,,,
god bored tired
shook his head
gave him a nod
the dreamer
silently overawed
i am happy i did
not have to use
the pepper spray
on you my lord
echo-less silence
insultingly guffawed
some things in his
parliament of dreams
god has outlawed

The Clones are back!
Sometimes I wish I really did have some clones. It's been a long 3 weeks getting over this vertigo. I'm still not 100% but its getting better each day. I had my MRI yesterday and this is me pretty much crashing on the hotel bed after a long day.
On the bright side only 2 more sleeps until Christmas :)
I hope Santa is good to you all. I'll catch up on streams tonight.
I will be heading to Zion National Park in July for a few days to hike and photograph The Narrows and go canyoneering in The Subway via the top down rout which includes a few short rappels. Planning gear for this trip has been a chalange and my previous gear post has been popular, so I am updating with a list of what I will be carrying for this trip.
Zion is known for its deep beautiful slot canyons filled with ice cold water and mysterious reflected light. Exploring these canyons is not an easy trek. The 16 mile 2 day trip through The Narrows has you literally walking through the Virgin River most of the time. Some sections are only a few feet wide with 1200+ ft walls on both sides requiring a few short swims. To keep my gear dry I will be carrying a few dry bags. The blue dry bag will carry the Mountainsmith Kit Cube with my camera and lens' inside during any technical spots in the canyon. The rest of the time I will be carrying the camera with a lens attached by my side in the orange dry bag. The blue bag, and all the other gear goes inside the yellow bag, and inside my backpack (double protection for photo gear). This should work and keep everything dry. Fingers crossed.
When heading into the backcountry with photography equipment every ounce counts. As I have upgraded my photo kit with faster, heavier lenses, I have decreased the weight of my backpacking gear with ultra light equipment to compensate. I'm pretty happy with this setup. But....If i were to change anything I would add a Gitzo Traveler Tripod with a RRS BH25 head, shaving off about a pound and a half; gaining a steadier base for the heavier lenses.
I will also be carying a Canon 40D (used to take this picture), a ND64 filter for silky waterfalls in daylight, and a remote release for long exposures in the dark canyons, as well as the hoods for all the lenses.
Everything here will be carried in a Osprey Exos 58. I used this pack on my last few trips and love it. It's super light for an internal frame pack and carries all my heavy photo gear very comfortably.
Off hand this setup should weigh in around 35lbs with food and water. Not to bad considering my original pack weighed about 20lbs more, with less gear. I'll update with proper weights when I get a chance.
See the notes for details.
In hindsight I should have covered the flashes with the cloth too (leaving enough space for the sigma to trigger) as you can make them out in the reflections. :-(
Interesting to see the temperature difference between the Sigma and the Canon speedlites. The Sigma is quite a bit cooler. Temp for this shot is 6700 +6 (as shot) - so the 5D3 is probably compensating for the Sigma. If I cool it to 5500 the Canon looks white and the Sigma is blue.

Olympus MZD 25mm f/1.2 PRO Review
A Five-Year Photographic Journey with the M4/3 Series.
Photo by Olympus E-M5II E-M5MarkII + 25mm f/1.2 PRO 2512pro
Le Bambole Mk. XI, -"The Pinsolette" Pinhole Camera
- 24mm focal length, 103º horizontal and vertical angle of view.
- 120 medium-format roll film. 6x6.
- Pinhole aperture approx. 0.20 mm, f/120.
My latest pinhole camera project is made from a 60-year old broken AGFA Isolette folding camera. I must say that it was one of the easiest pinhole conversions I've ever done. It's definitely a fun weekend project.
Besides being easy to do, I can see why a few of my fellow Flickr contacts have also done their own pinhole-folding camera conversions. The sturdy metal body of the Isolette and sure-footed film advance mechanism makes for a solid and dependable pinhole camera.
I especially like how compact it is for a 6x6 medium-format camera. The pinhole's 24mm focal length is very wide and the square-format appeals to me, too.
Many thanks to EY for giving me the busted camera. I'm sure I'll be running a lot of film through this camera now.

Another shot from yesterday morning. Again the twin filters and small aperture allow for a pretty long exposure - 18 seconds in this case.
I've done the LAB colour mode curves adjustment trick again and a bit of dodging and burning with a small bit of curves adjustment masked to bring the sky down and preserve the foreground.
Hope you like it ;-)

More information's and subcription:
I am going to Seoul and Tokyo this Summer. Since it is going to be hot I needed to replace my shoulder bag with a waist bag. I think I came across a winner. This is the Manfrotto CSC Waist/ Sling bag that I just got in from B&H. It was $50 after the $20 mail in rebate.
I put my Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T1 in front of it for a size comparison. The X-T3 has a 50mm f2 with the lens hood. The X-T1 has the 35mm f2 with the lens hood. To me this is the perfect size. I can carry both cameras with my batteries, sd cards, and cleaning supplies. There is not a lot of wasted room. They say that you can carry a full size Ipad inside it with the camera gear but I personally think it would be a little tight.
I only have a couple gripes about this bag. I like the green color but inside the bag is camo. I'm not a big fan of going through customs in a foreign country with any camo items. I think the buckle could be a little better but I can probably rob one off another bag that I have around the house. I will probably also add some zipper pulls.
I think this is the best waist camera bag that I have seen for a mirrorless camera. I look forward to wearing it this Summer.
Astrotrac mount with polar scope and Nikon D7000 & Nikkor 70-200mm vr f2.8.
Waiting for the stars to come out.
