Just to circle back on this topic of the "right" set of gear to bring on this trip. This is the basic set of gear I brought along, adding only the diminutive GM5 as a back-up body along with its PL15 lens (which I ended up using only once and then mostly to justify having lugged it along). The...

Bighorn sheep in Marble Canyon on the Colorado River. These guys were plentiful throughout Marble and Grand Canyons. We saw many larger ones but never at a time I had a camera ready. We concluded that with the environs were near perfect for the species with the scarcity of any natural predators...

I'm not sure this is exactly the right thread to share this as the moon itself doesn't appear in the image, but the light on this rock face is reflected from the moon rising opposite it. - K

Dories on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon - K

Nice image, Miguel. You may want to get your watch looked at, though. In addition to the fact the date is incorrect, I don't see any blur to indicate movement of the sweep hand. - K

Perhaps we need to start a “Photo of a photographer taking a photo of a photographer” thread. Too bad no one snapped a pic of you at this moment. ;) - K

Home office or office office? Also is anyone still releasing music on reel to reel? - K

Who doesn't love Pho. Obviously banh mi is another mainstay. My favorite dessert was chuối nướng (grilled banana with coconut sauce). You really can't go wrong with ANY street food in Asia, IMO. - K

I would highly recommend spending some time wandering around Hanoi's Old Quarter. If you're there on the weekend, don't miss the night market. A visit to the Hoa Lo Prison (a.k.a. Hanoi Hilton) could be interesting as well, depending on what you're into. In Ho Chi Minh the central post office...

The spot where this was captured is a bit of a "rough" section in Seattle's downtown core. As such, this sort of scene isn't shocking. What I particularly like in this image is the dichotomy between the affect of the two couples in the shot. My presumption is that the couple on the left are...

Man, talk about capturing the "decisive moment". Nicely seen. - K

A lot of strong points in the comments. My initial thoughts align most closely with Paul's That said, I too have a hard time passing up a good opportunity to justify an upgrade. I don't think you mentioned when this vacation is planned for. If you're planning to go this summer, I'd suggest...

Oh, wow...that's sooner than I expected. - K

Did they give a estimated delivery date on your order? - K

Looking forward to hearing your opinion. Facebook keeps trying to encourage me to buy this same brand of e-bike for some reason. - K

Great song and one of the iconic voices of her generation. I'm so glad that she's overcome her health issues and is able to perform again. Is that a Leica M3 she's shooting with? Anyone count how many rolls of film she went through? - K

Looks a bit like a Lotus 7 or Caterham 7, but it's not either of those. I can't place that "S1" badge. Perhaps some sort of kit car? - K

Looks like a Lotus Exige. - K

Watching you thieves - K

Doesn't seem like a fair trade...unless it's a really nice watch. - K

I had a chance to see Weird Al in concert 7–8 years ago at a time when my son was at the pre-teen age that I think of as Yankovic's core demographic. He put on one heck of a show that well exceeded my expectations. Almost every song was accompanied by a set and/or costume change to the point...

You're not wrong on any of this, John. That said, I just haven't really developed a "connection" with my 12-100. Nothing wrong with it or the images it produces, but it just hasn't (yet) sparked my creativity. At least not enough to overcome it's size and weight disadvantages. I feel more...

I'm not really a pilsner guy, but I couldn't resist this name. It's an awful fun beer to order. - K

Yeah, I love many things about the GX8, but ergonomics with a front-heavy lens is tough, stroke or no stroke. Good that you have other options for that use case. - K

I think I've talked myself out of packing a second body. I considered both the Pen F and the GM5, but either would have meant including as well another set of batteries and charger, and I don't think I want to deal with that added complexity. (I really miss the common battery platform with my...

I don't own the 14-150, but I do have a P14-140 that would definitely fit. - K

I definitely didn't mean to imply your solution wasn't workable, Graham, only that it wouldn't be ideal for me with my wallet. On the contrary, I think it's great that you were able to come up with a solution with items you had at hand. - K

Your wallet must be a lot thicker than mine, Graham. While I salute your ingenuity, there's no way I'd want to carry anything this thick in my wallet. I'm a bit surprised the market hasn't come up with a solution to what you're seeking. That Smallrig case is interesting, but I'd personally...

I'll add my voice to the Synology chorus. I don't have experience to share with any other systems. I've had a DS920+ for a few years (current version is the DS923+) and I don't have anything but praise for it. They're not cheap, but IMO they're worth it to protect your data. As with anything...

That's a totally separate category. We're "limited" to something like 30 personal beverages (soda, beer, liquor, wine, etc.) per person for our 8 night trip...I think that should be sufficient. - K

DB5? - K

I decided to stick with my initial thoughts and go with the E-M1.3, PL8-18, O50 macro, and O75-300. After I got these situated in the case (Nanuk 915) along with my LaCie Boss backup drive there's a bit of space left over. I should probably use this space for battery packs, chargers, etc...

I'm sure you'll be half right, Dan. :sneaky: - K

Good suggestion, John. You prompted me to dig out my 12-50. It checks a couple of the boxes of what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I don't know if I got a bad copy or if it's me, but the experience only served to remind me why this lens was shoved way in the back of my gear shelf. I just don't...

Couldn't resist this Nanuk 915 when it showed up half off in B&H's "Deal Zone" a week or two back. Spent some time today plucking foam in preparation for my Grand Canyon trip in a couple weeks. Now, what to use that "extra" space for?:sneaky: - K

That first shot is lovely. With the way it displays in my browser that lower cataract was like a bonus that I didn't discover until scrolling down. - K

I've had a pair of Bushacre 2's that I've been happy with for a number of years (although I wear them probably only about 25 days a year). I never understood why this style doesn't have a third eyelet, though. - K

I thought I recognized them. My kid used to have a bunch of these, although IIRC the game didn't hold his attention for too long. I imagine they're probably still lying around in some drawer. - K

Are they Disney Infinity characters? - K

Are they progressive lenses or standard bifocals with a sharp line? - K

I'd like to nominate Arturo (@Aviator's) umbrella-themed series in the "Street photography (Image thread)" thread. All five images are worthy, but I think the second one, titled "Parejas debajo de paraguas", is my favorite. - K

I'm generally pretty deliberative, so I'm not sure how much I'd notice a slight decrease in write time. But I'll keep a close eye on performance when I try the backup method and adjust accordingly. I agree that making only one of the two slots UHS-II compatible seems like a strange place to cut...

Thanks for the response, Brian. Yeah, the O60 can be a bit of a pain to nail focus at times with that distance control. So much so that it's rarely a lens I choose when going out unless I'm certain there are going to be macro opportunities. Even in that case, I often pick up the 4/3 50mm f/2...

Way back when interchangeable lens Samsung cameras roamed the earth. ;) I'm jealous of all the lovely images you've captured over the the years of your daughter. When I look at all the photos I've managed to capture of my children over the years there are only a small handful that rise above...

Great light nicely captured. - K

Psht! Only f/1.1?!? I'd buy it if it were f/0.7. Plus, that thing weighs like, what, 120g? 😜 - K

I do it your way, mostly, but I realize I don't use portrait orientation often and that I've never really given it much thought. Both ways actually feel equally natural to me and Brian's mention of shooting with his left eye makes me think that shooting "overhand" might make more sense for me...

I was only trying to understand on what basis you found it strange to see this sign in Ireland. Mostly I was simply curious whether "Dutch apple pie" is really a thing that is associated with the Netherlands (by someone who lives there) or whether "Dutch apple pie" is something that is sort of...

I think the differences between the three Oly 4/3 to M4/3 adapters are: MMF-1 has a silver metal outer case; weight: ~83g MMF-2 has a black plastic outer case, although the mounts are still aluminum; weight: ~42g MMF-3 is a weather sealed version of the MMF-2, which was introduced along with...
