Cool stuff. I imagine that in caves there should be lots of opportunities for light painting.

I've got one, and it doesn't work. Might be a sample defect, might not, but caveat emptor.

Lack of interest was likely due to the outrageous price being asked for a few grams of machined aluminum.In the meantime I'm using an Acratech plate that I originally picked up for my OM-1, and it...

There was no thread on this topic when I started it. So there!

Everything I've seen on the OM-D tells me that the Olympus firmware is a mess of spaghetti code, and likely really hard to work on.If I could still code, I'd love to re-write the whole control...

Texinwien is correct, its flame retardent that had just been dropped on the Flagstaff fire outside Boulder, CO.The smoke definitely kills the contrast, but that's something that's a bit hard to...

I'm considering getting one, but I'm generally pleased with the Minolta Rokkor-X 4/200 I picked up a while ago. The size is similar, although the formula is somewhat different. I suspect that most...

The Online Photographer. A must-read for anyone who aspires to get beyond mere gear-headedness.

Many (most? all?) of the FSA photos were shot on 4x5. 135 was not a common format for serious work in those days, as the tiny negative size was considered very limiting, given the emulsions of the...

Amazing how hard it is to really capture the feeling of being in the Grand Canyon, isn't it?Overall, nice set. I don't know if you shot raw or not, but you can improve the photos a lot if you did....

Wow, the Sony manual must be really, really bad. ;-).

Some really nice portraits. Thanks for posting them.

All for under $200.

Yep, that's a cat for you.

Get a Berlebach, or some other nice wooden tripod, and then cut down the legs until they fit in you luggage. Drastic, but it fulfills your requirements.
