This thread's to share what you're most stoked about in the photo/film world. I know people are busy and have a lot of ideas that they want to pursue, and just haven't quite had the time yet to make it happen. Hopefully posting some things you want to film will help you to create some time to get it done.

To start things off--

- I just got back in touch with a friend that four wheels and is so sick at it. I already have a perfect song picked out and have been picturing the shots I'll get for the last day. Can't wait to start filming.

- Finally picked up a sandisk extreme pro 32gb 95mb/s SD card for my t2i and no longer have to worry about "filming has stopped automatically", makes me feel so much more confident when filming important things

- Just purchased a 3tb hard drive, so all my shits backed up!

share your giddyness

Tell me about it, had thought about buying one sometime in the future cause having to choose between either my camera gear, and having to wear every piece of ski equipment I own on public transport, or going without the cam was getting pretty fucking annoying.

So pumped on getting it cheap as well, always looking to save money haha, and I wasn't expecting the L/XL icu until it came today. Might end up selling the L/XL ICU, as I might find I don't need more than a med slope. Rear entry is pretty sweet and the fact that it fits on airplanes as carry on is just the icing on the cake.

how'd you score the deal/where was it from? I'd consider buying that ICU off of you if you do sell

Just a scottish photographer upgrading to the one up, presumably for overnights, shoots skiing too so that's how I know him.

I'll let you know, but shipping alone would be at least 15$, unless you wanna wait 60 days, in which case you'd get it for 10$ haha, not a huge saving.

Yeah, at the lab I looked at them on the light table and was blown away. On a computer screen...slightly less.

On a side note, is it just me or are positive strips stiffer than negatives?

So a couple months after pulling the Leica out of my grandparents basement we found the Exa buried down there too. My great grandpa used it in his dentistry practice half a century ago. Fixed and cleaned up the lens and it works great! Loaded up both this morning and went out for a drive to get some very foggy landscape pictures, stoked to see the results!

My mamiya 7 fell out of my backpack and out of a car yesterday when I was opening the side door, landed square on the lens. Shattered UV filter and a scuffed up lens hood, but everything else is perfectly fine.

THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALL USE UV FILTERS AND LENS HOODS

Who said it was fragile?

It would be less fragile if it was made out of wrought iron like everything else, though ;)

stoked on my first panorama. 20+ photos. i'm really pumped to try some more of these for some prints at my house.

this one covers from downtown anchorage to mount susitna. the mountains you see way out there are the tordrillos, where MSP filmed a segment last year.

Dangit, I was having issues with that because susitna (on the right) is about 300 miles closer than the mountains in the center, which is what I tried to level. There is distortion to the stitch, which is why the horizon on the left hand side of the image slants slightly upward from left to right

I know this isn't the right place for this discussion, but I don't think it's possible to see much over about 120 miles (mainly because of dust / vapour, and also because of the earth's curvature). Are you sure you got the distances right?

I can see Denali from my house. It looks huge on the horizon and its about 200 miles away.

Haha serious iPhone typo, 30 miles not 300. But the 120 rule can't be true, we see McKinley constantly from Anchorage pretty clearly and it's well over 120 miles as the crow flies if I'm not mistaken.

I did the stitch in photoshop Gavin

He just put down one zero too many, according to Google Earth it's roughly 30 miles. (Unless I'm terribly mistaken.)

Usually Photoshop does a solid job, but check out programs like Hugin or PTGui Pro. They're more powerful panorama programs and you have a lot of control over how you want it to look. I use PTGui and it's awesome.

Calling Denali it by its usurper name is punishable by 20 scuffs of the Xtratuffs and a fine of three smoked Red filets.

^ For photoshop photomerge the key is too overlap a lot( by say 30%). (At least with me that is.)

Can't believe this, but just won a Hassy C 50mm f4 on ebay for 120. I was sure that somebody would have a higher bid, but I won for 120$ on a max bid of 180...

Fucking righteous!
