just a reminder to y'all, i'm going to rye tomorrow (monday). so far, the locals haven't bit -- they must have "jobs" or something crazy like that -- so i have 3 extra seats in my car. post here if you're in boston and wish to go. leaving around 10, back before 5 certainly.
My mountain bike is up and running again thanks to my new cranks and some help from swiss. I say we go to the Fells some time. Now that I've started work, I'm free Saturdays and Sundays.
The guys I work with and I try to go riding at the Fells on Sunday mornings at that time. We meet at 9:30 and then drive up there. Do you think you could wait until Saturday night for a definite yes or no for riding on Sunday?
Well yeah, I kind of figured that. But I'll just let you know whether to wait for us or notOriginally posted by Toshi
er, sure. but i'm probably going to ride then anyways...?
.
Where's that? I was thinking we'd meet in the city.
Yeah, I figured we would be meeting at the Fells like you said Toshi. Sheepfold Meadow I believe the parking lot is called.
king: Cliff can only fit three people in his car, so I was thinking that I would drive as well. Probably meet at Cambridge Bicycle so that we can follow Cliff and Myles.
I can't come this weekend.
a heads up for keith when he returns:
the 10D's AF sensors cover a different area than the engravings on the focusing screen. this may explain many of your woes, as the sensors extend outside of where you think they would, and might pick up on other objects as a result...

Good ride Toshi. Sorry again that we were so late. Next time we'll be on time, and maybe kingLatency will come along too.
****, this may as well be called Toshi's photography nerd thread!Originally posted by Toshi
I'll be getting my S40 as soon as I've got the dough.
I definitely want to go on the next ride. That is, assuming someone else isn't getting married.
you're in luck: next ride is tomorrow (thursday), meet us at the fells at 5 if you want in. however, i'm not parking at sheepfold, but rather at the usual place, since i like the loop better starting from there. how to get to this mysterious lot: head up governors ave towards the fells from the tufts area, turn left (west) on south border road, go past the first no parking area, turn right into the small pull-off area where cars should be parked. look for my pathfinder:
governor's ave is the one that goes by lawrence memorial hospital (bottom, slightly left of center/hwy 93 in the lower of the two maps here):

How fast are your lenses on them-there DSLRs? How many FPS do you shoot in burst. What technique did you use for that sequence?
I get 3fps with the canon 10d up to about 9 shots (on high res).
I was using toshi's speedlite 240ex (I think I got the model # right, toshi will undoubtedly correct me if I am wrong). With that flash, you only can get a four flash burst in the best case so I think I shot 1/125 ~f6 and I would guess that I used ISO of 800 to keep the draw on the flash low and squeeze the most shots out of it... I would have liked to used faster shutter, and ISO 400.
I kept the lens on wide (24mm) so I didn't have to pan too much, and the rest I put together in photoshop (a bit too hastily... one splice was really obvious). I sharpened it pretty heavily so the rider would stand out a bit more.
this makes Toshi cooler than keith.
I just picked up an EOS-1Ds. It ROCKS!!! I also got this really cool Tamron lens.
I thought the 10D could get 8 fps. Is that with no flash?
i'm pretty sure it's only 3fps up to about 9 shots on high res, unless I missed something.
