Seriously trivial thoughts
I got a nice deal on the Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens so I took it out for a test drive this morning. This is my first experience with a super zoom and here are my initial thoughts.
For the most part, the Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1 seems more like a patch than an entire version upgrade. Everything seemed to work the same as it always had. Yeah, I know there are some significant changes, but it’s not as if you feel it’s totally new…like the jarring change from Win 7 to …
I would think the lack of a fret board would impair playing it, but it doesn’t seem to bother the guy in the video. These things cost $5k btw…yikes! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eEB-vJic_o]
Mom and Dad came up for a visit for the first time since I bought this place 5 years ago. That was a treat! I tried several new photography techniques on this trip, like bracketed exposures to create HDR images. I particularly like the one where the sky looks on fire. Used my new 20mm …
I recently posted about how much I love the Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. Well, I finally got to take it on an airplane. My biggest worry was if it would fit in the under-seat space. I keep a lot of other stuff besides camera gear in it, so it needs to be readily accessible during the …

Incredible model making and photography! The guy creates realistic 1/24 scale models of an imaginary town from memories of his youth. Amazing. My favorite photos are actually the ones where the artist pops his head in the scene haha.
This is an interesting quick explanation of world economies using cows. It starts off serious, but then degenerates into satire. Still, the first couple slides are dead on. Ten years ago I would say the US was capitalistic without a doubt. Now days, however, I’m not so sure, as we are drifting towards socialism.
I’ve added one final bag to my arsenal: the Think Tank Photo Retrospective 30. I’ll use this bag when I need most of my lenses and camera gear, but aren’t traveling on an airplane. When I travel, I use my Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+, which also has my computer travel stuff like chargers, cables, USB drive, …
A few years ago I tried a free subscription to an online storage company. It was ok, but I ended up deciding it was too slow to be usable. These days, however, my bandwidth is a little more robust and since I’m getting into photography more, I’ve decided to give online storage another try.
