Oh, I forgot to spec the ballhead I am using: it is a Really Right Stuff BH-55 Pro and in case you were wondering, that is an incredible piece of equipment I would recommend to anyone.

Well, I just returned from a sunrise shoot where I was trying out for the first time some new gear that I purchased recently; a tripod, a ballhead, a battery grip, and a remote switch.Wow! That is a completely different animal from hand held shooting.Just knowing that there is less camera vibration per frame is deeply satisfying. So I am now shooting with a Canon 5D Mark ll, two Canon LP-E6's (batteries), a Kirk L-bracket for Canon 5D Mark ll w/ grip, a Canon BG-E6 Battery grip, a Gitzo GT5541LS,and a Canon RC-5 Remote Controller. The lenses I am currently using are the only two lenses I own, and they are a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM and a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM. Prior to this I have been hand holding everything using just my 5D Mark ll and the two lenses. Prior to getting the 100-400mm I was just using the 24-105mm lens which came with the camera body in a kit...

Well, I liquidated all my stocks and I'm gonna buy Gold with the funds. Troy from the Union called me yesterday so I go back to work on Tuesday after five months. My photography is going great. I'm really happy with my work. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Well, I just got my Canon 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS EF USM lens for my Canon 5D Mark ll and I couldn't be more stoked. In the morning, me and Hildegaard (my dog) are gonna go shoot some birds. I can't believe I bought this lens but I did and , so far, I seem to be without even a modicum of regret.
I wanna start blogging. I think I would enjoy it. But I'm not sure what exactly I would want to blog about.I'll have to think about it... In '06-'07 I was over-the -road in a big truck and started to write a book. I could pick that up again. Or I could publish excerpts from it in my blog. That sounds better actually. Pick out the better material, right? That might not be bad. And then again, it might... Decisions, decisions... this is forcing me to be decisive... I hate that! That's it ! I'm done blogging!

Yo! RC!

Well, I just set up a blog for myself. That was easy. But I'm not finding your BLOG. Mozilla Firefox is great, thanks! I'll figure it out...Q. Why is divorce so expensive? A. Because it's worth it!
