As most folks know, last year jdeg and I created a sister forum, Cameras Without Mirrors, focused on mirrorless cameras. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the launch. We are celebrating with a giveaway. As shown in the image below, the prizes are a Cam-In cotton and leather wrist strap, a...

Recently sold the Nikon 1 V2 and upgraded to a Nikon 1 V3. I also added a Fuji X-T20 as my second Fuji body to my primary shooter, the X-T2. After seeing Laurie's results with the J5 at the Circle B (and planning on attending in 2018), I couldn't pass on a great deal for a second used J5 as a...

I took a quick look at the status and thought an update after a little more than 3 years might be useful. My original strategy has proved to be sound. The original premise was as follows: Physically separate data from the operating system. (This is prudent whether you use Windows, OS X, Linux...

A few of the amazing landscape. I had never been in wetlands like this before and was blown away.

Laurie carrying her massive gear: her J5 with a 1 Nikkor 70-300mm fully extended to 810mm equivalent. :o

I've only taken a quick pass through my captures and Laurie still has to go through hers. Here are a couple that jumped out.

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.

Many people here use a BlackRapid strap. Today B&H has the BlackRapid 63" Cross-Shot Sling Camera Strap on special for $27.95 versus the normal list price of $44.95. Purchase here.

I just posted a detailed write-up on how I handle charging batteries and other devices while traveling on CamerasWithoutMirrors that you might find useful.

Looking forward to the posts regarding your wife's speedy recovery @kevinH!

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.

Literally the last shot as I was leaving the boardwalk yesterday.

Sunrise this morning at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

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.
