Finally broke down and decided to retire my fullsize Velbon tripod that I bought while stationed in South Korea - in 1984. (I had replaced the ballhead though.) I received my new black MeFOTO RoadTrip Air Travel Tripod yesterday. First impressions are extremely positive! The new twist mechanism...

A couple last minute items before the meet and greet. One for the X-T2 and one for the J5.

Ordered a new cap.

Spent last week-end in my hometown of Chicago with my wife. We lucked into a rare January 57°F/14°C sunny day. We visited the much loved "Cloudscape" sculpture referred to as "The Bean" which is a huge tourist and local favorite in Millennium Park.

My wife's favorite shot that she captured with her Nikon 1 J5: My favorite that I captured with my Fuji X-T2:

Rainy, drizzly day along the U.S. east coast. Laurie and I met up with a few friends in Cape May, NJ. Not too much photography wise but we did run into a street Octoberfest and made the best of it.

Not the best image content, but a quick test over the back fence last night at ISO 25600, shutter priority with the X-T2 and kit 18-55mm. JPEG SOOC, resized in OS X Preview.

The hurricane never showed up last weekend on the Jersey shore. Captured a few images Sunday morning checking out the waves including this one with crazy reflections on the beach from a flock of starling type birds. X-T1 and XF 18-55mm.

Battery is charging and shutter finger is twitching! The little brown truck just delivered a box from B&H.

Over on CWOM we've been discussing and planning a fall meet-up in upstate New York. The idea is thanks to Rick M. We have settled on October 8-9 in/around Watkins Glen and are discussing logistics now. Anyone from Nikonites interested? I'll be driving up from Philly and up for ride sharing! The...

Today I sold and shipped my D800E and 2/3'rds of my lens trinity. For the first time since 1983, I don't own a SLR or D-SLR. It has been a long time coming to this decision and quite frankly feels a bit weird. My wonderful spouse even told me that I didn't need to sell it. I think I'll keep her...
