Hope you have a quick recovery, Herman!

Thanks for the great feedback, Ray. The refurb price on the Nikon (do I have to call it a Coolpix?!) makes it very tempting!

For those that have had both the GR and Coolpix A, does the Coolpix's display work as well out in sunlight? I have only used the GR and I remember it being quite good compared to other LCDs I have used outdoors. I am going to grab either a refurb A or discounted GR II.

Very sorry to hear about your wife RT. Not a fun process for anyone in the family. Hope she is in remission soon!

Cool, I will shoot some over the next day or two and send you a download link.

I love working with the raw files from the A7/II/RX1. Noise isn't really a problem, especially when you downsample to print size (you have more megapixels to work with). If I have the luxury of choice, I would take the Sony full frame raw over my X100S' xtrans raw every time. No contest. I...

I purchased a X100 SE and X100S from Hong Kong Dealers... no problem with either purchase and the gear arrived very quickly. I can look up the actual vendor names if you are interested, but I usually just make sure they have a good deal of transactions and positive feedback. I would recommend...

Bill - great pics, but you definitely need a matching red helmet. Love that Madison stuff, Luke. We can't get it on our side of the river, but I sometimes grab a 6 of Moon Man Pale when I am in Hudson, WI. My current favorite lawnmower/summer beer is brewed on our other side of the...

I wish I would have been alive to take advantage of the pre-war North Platte, Nebraska nightlife! Mildred Irwin, entertainer in saloon at North Platte, Nebraska. She entertained for twenty years in Omaha before coming to North Platte Photographer: John Vachon Created...

Super cool stuff, thanks! I wonder if full resolution versions are available elsewhere... e.g., I can order high resolution archive scans from my local historical society.

Nice ride! Looks like it would be a blast to drive. Also, saving gas money for the photo gear fund. :thumbup: Wow, good eye! It looks pretty close to the same color. Hmmmm... maybe I shouldn't tape up my ring after all, looks cool. :smile:

Thank you for letting us know, Amin. Condolences, Lili. You will be in our thoughts.

3 years old? That's ridiculous! :eek: Sorry they wouldn't support you on that issue. I have wondered how long these new televisions would last. My Pioneer Kuro is about 6-7 years old and is still working fine. I would be super frustrated if it would have died at 3 years (and a little...

Sorry to hear about the dead TV. Curious how old this display was when it died? If the room isn't too bright and you are okay with increasing your carbon footprint, plasma is hard to beat plasma for contrast and black level (great for dark movies).

Congratulations, very cool! Hmmm... wonder how these would look on my canoe?

Luke, did you get copies of this photo book? Looks pretty interesting (I missed the kickstarter). http://www.dustandgrooves.com

Happy record store day, Luke. Man, I love the look of your store. I have my parents in town this weekend, so think I will be missing it this year. I usually head down to Electric Fetus for the bands, food trucks and, oh yeah, records. I did see one on the list this year that I will...

Good news! :clapping:

Will be thinking about you, Sue!

I wonder why I like white wall tires now?

C is for Corvette?

Looks like a busy river, BB! We got a tease of spring on Sunday, but back down to freezing temperatures and we supposedly have a winter storm warning on Thur-Fri. I used to say that I love winter, but I think this one broke me. :biggrin:

Thanks for the recommendations. I walked over to Brick and then didn't manage to leave until evening. Great street art and people watching. I met one other guy doing street stuff there (Olympus/Fuji shooter). Great meeting you, Andy! You put together a great camera shop there. A few from...

Wow - thanks for all of the great suggestions. Good stuff! I have everything loaded in my phone and I am going to head east first to check out Spitalfields and Brick Lane. The photo exhibitions look like a great option if the weather is bad. Andy - your shop is pretty close to the hotel. I...

I have meetings in the UK on Friday and Monday, so I am "stuck" this weekend (March 1-2) in London. Any recommendations for off-the-beaten-path photo walks? Paul already let me know that I shouldn't expect to find many abandoned farmhouses or cows, but I am hoping I can find some other...

+1 Definitely looking good man! (and nice shot by your bride!)

Funny stuff John!

Fun idea on the GoPro.... I wonder what a time lapse would look like?

Nothing against Linda R., but do we really need another popularity contest? We already have the Grammys and record sales (okay, not so much anymore). It would be cool to honor influential artists that weren't necessarily rewarded commercially. Okay, I'm biased as I really wanted The...

I'd echo what James said that the Nintendo system is more geared towards kids/families. One other advantage of the Wii U versus the next Xbox and PS4, is that the U would play your original Wii games (backwards compatible). Also, the original controllers will work on your new system. The...

That's great news! Congratulations!

Congratulations, John! Best of luck with the magazine!

Sorry to hear this news, John. I hope (and think you will) transition to something bigger and better soon!

You rock Sue! It is a great series!

+1 Wow, Amin, glad you had good news! I can't imagine how stressful that must have been, especially if cell calls weren't going through for a while. Hope everyone else in the area is well! Very sad.

Crazy Guy Dangles Above the Earth at Terrifying Heights

Wishing you some good luck over the interwebtubes! Hope Tom is doing well soon!

I think you are right, Gary.... Justin Bieber, Celine Dion, Bryan Adams and Nickelback just to name a few. :biggrin: Just kidding my Canadian friends! I love Neil, The Band, Arcade Fire, Japandroids, The Tragically Hip, just to name a few! But... think I would be good with our own...

:biggrin: Obviously, any LF film cameras would be excluded from my resolution. Also, camera body upgrades, like my planned NEX-7 conversion to fully-blinged Hasselblad Lunar would be allowed. Good point on the aluminum bat. You have less of that weird vibration up through your arms with an...

Pfftt, what good is a handgun going to do you in the upcoming zombie apocalypse? I am thinking aluminum baseball bat, hazmat suit, and a stockpile of Spam. On camera-related stuff, inspired by Amin, I am going to make a New Year's resolution of zero camera or lens purchases in 2013 (less...

Thanks for the heads-up - hope you enjoy the break and come back to post an image every once in a while. I have been kind of feeling the same way lately.... figured I was still hungover from Photokina.

Great thread! I think I am going to beat Barrie's score when I get home - red deficient color blind here with an uncalibrated monitor (new puck still sitting in box) and you all have seen my output! :tongue:

flickstream: Collection: Ghosts of history - Then & Now, combined photos

Thanks so much for sharing these ... I find them fascinating!

If you think you would use the accessories ($100 for case, $100 for Fuji adapter/hood), it seems like a good deal. Plus, I think the black looks fantastic. :biggrin: I know we all have different takes on buying used gear, but I figure if you are going to keep the camera for a long time, why...

I hope you do stay, Herman. I always enjoy reading your fun and positive posts!

Late to the thread here.... Ray - it is a great image and congratulations on Explore! I remember when I looked into the Explore process, can't find the link now, but seemed to remember the keys were: (1) post one or a few images at a time, (2) make sure your best image is the most recent...

Wired.com had a quick interview with Christopher Bonanos, the author of a new book Instant: The Story of Polaroid. I thought the comparisons to Instagram were interesting... may have to pick this book up. Why Polaroid Was the Apple of Its Time | Wired Design | Wired.com

Awww, man, my money was on runaway groom (and thinking ahead to book deal and movie rights!) :biggrin: Seriously, good to hear from you, Armando, and glad that all is well. Also curious on the wedding date! Good luck with the prep work.

I didn't know anything about Lee Miller... sounds like an interesting life? How are you liking Found Monochromes...? I found this link with some sample images: Open File: David Batchelor - Found Monochromes
