Photozone.de just put up a review of the Sigma 24-70mm HSM (w/ the D3x). It didn't look like they were too impressed. I'd just pick up a couple of primes in that range or save up and buy the Nikon version on down the road.
If you're looking for the best compact camera, I'd say go with the Panasonic GF1. It's small (especially w/ the pancake lens), and has the option to interchange lenses if you start to get bit by the photography bug. On the downside, it's ~$900 (which sounds expensive but it's a fairly good deal...
Don't know if this one has been said, but I'd really like some info/pics on the new Evil Order. It sounds like a mix between the Imperial and the Sovereign, both of which are amazing frames that I regret selling.
I'm assuming your AC joint was torn, and that your clavicle got projected out towards your back. My advice is, once it heals, do your physical therapy. This may sound stupid, but it's easy to skimp on PT every now then. You really need to be working your shoulder out every day though. The...
I'm not a dirt jumper by any means, but when I had an Imp I absolutely loved takin that thing in the air. Also, if you're gonna be doin some tighter jumps, just throw the axle in the short chainstay position and you'll be fine.
We actually just got back to Alabama this weekend. We only spent two days in Utah. The first day was spent relaxing and sightseeing in Canyonlands National Park. This was a much needed break after 5 straight days of hard riding. Here's a picture of Walker (?????) and I jumping around on Mesa...
In Crested Butte, we rode the famous 401 Trail. We all agreed that it was probably the most scenic trail we had ever ridden. It started with a brutal climb up the fireroad, and then winded back through valley by way of some of the tightest singletrack I had ever ridden.
Here's my brother as...
The easiest way to get into off camera flash photography without going fully manual is to buy one of your camera manufacturers' own flash unit and use their form of wireless connectivity. It's more expensive, but works well for most people who don't do flash photography on a regular basis (like...
Yea, I definitely wished we had a camera then.
Anyway, we spent our last day in Summit County riding Keystone for one last day. Here's a pretty sweet picture of Walker (?????) ripping down the corkscrew towards the bottom of East Forest.
We then left for Crested Butte and encountered...
I tore my labrum in a crash a couple of years back and was out 4 or 5 months recuperating and doing physical therapy after surgery. Not fun. Get it fixed as soon as possible though.
Last week, 4 Alabamians (including myself) loaded up a truck and trailer full of 7 bikes and enough gear to make your head spin. Our first stop was Breckenridge, CO. Over the past 3 days, we've ridden a handful of Breckenridge and Keystone Trails. For me, it doesn't get much better than...
Glad to see you're stoked on film again. I'm still shooting digital, but have recently been shooting manual focus only. It really makes you think more about each and every shot you take. I like it.
I just got a Sequence in, and I've gotta say I'm impressed so far. It's a quality looking pack and quite comfortable. I've set it up to hold the body w/ attached lens, 3 additional lenses, and a flash with plenty of room left over for a water bottle or two. Can't wait to try it out on a ride...
I used to ride an Evil Sovereign, and my buddy rides a Sinister Ridge. Both are incredible frames with unique riding experiences. They can be found on the used market for reasonable prices every now and then.
