Biggest storm since 4 years here in Denmark. Made it through with only minor issues. Gate to the property got damaged, 3 smaller trees tipped over (didn't hit anything) and tons of branches all over the garden to clean up. Lucky!
Some colleagues living close to the coast are worried that the storm flood reaches their houses. Fingers crossed the water doesn't rise that high.

Present. Need to find some motivation, but first , coffee.

Mornin.
Hot Brown liquid is going down.

Pulled the trigger on a new to me camera body, pretty excited.

Storm's ovah, less than a foot here - but of course, someone in my town is reporting two feet.

The mirrorless craze has drove down the price on used pro bodies like crazy.

How much drifting is there?

More snow cleanup. Amazing how many non-plows were out last night at 8 pm. Where are you going people?

But oh is it worth the hype if you travel or hike with your camera. I hated having to schlep around a pro sized body and 2.8 glass. My Z6 and F4 zoom are a great, lightweight combo.

We have probably 28" drifts in the yard, and had maybe 3' at the end of the driveway. Snowblower was struggling to move that stuff.

Nice!
I know, but the mirrorless hype is real! At least with Canon it is so much of an upgrade. Insanely good AF down to F22, silent shutter (wildlife!) with high FPS and you can directly see how the pic will look like in the viewfinder.

I would have slept fine last night but my wife decided to first snore then have wicked restless legs.

There is no way around 2.8 or better. Fast glass will stay fast glass.

I don't need it like I used to for my walking around lens. And for those times I do, I still have the adapter. My 70-200 F2.8 will always have a home in my bag.

No new camera bits here. An advanced point and shoot would be a nice addition to my thru hiking kit.

I need a gnome to fire up the French Press so I don’t have to get out of bed.

Most of the stuff I’ll shoot with this body I’ll have a bag of shit with me so weight doesn’t matter as much.
I was on the Z6ii fence for a while, the low light capability are what I was really after. I rented one a couple times, I know it’s silly, but I’m huge and have big hands. I just didn’t like the feel.
But as @Toshi said. I gotsta has my bokehz. 1.4 prime all day.

With the quality of cell phone cameras nowadays, is a separate cam necessary for thru hiking?

We have a Sony A6000 and Canon S100 that now live in a drawer since we got our pixel phones.

My Samsung cell camera is trash. It'll take okay pictures if the lighting is decent, but it's straight garbage otherwise. My wife's iPhone is better by a noticeable margin.

Reading all you fuckers posts about skiing kinda got me jelly.

went and dropped a grand on new gear yesterday and hitting the mountain today.

Funny enough, for Canon the RF 70-200 2.8 is smaller and lighter than the EF. Now, the RF 70-200 F4 is even more so, so I guess your point stands.

hi friends

about 12-18" here depending on area and drifts. Probably 15" in most areas. Less than expected, but it is wicked cold and still blustery out there. Hoping to get out for sledding but it might be too cold to spend much time out.

I get a few decent shots with an iPhone 11. Problem is that I am so used to shitty iPhone pics that I often don’t bother pulling out the phone. But like you said they are improving and I’ll get the latest iTimeWaster before I start my hike. Should spend some time learning how to take better pics with it though.

Good morning. Stayed in last night, well rested, my ski buddy is radio silent. Hmfph.

That yellow line really jumps at you.

For me, this picture represents quite a few things that are wrong with "computational photography".

We got nothing here Just the cold and the wind.

Morning. Youngest just made blueberry pancakes for brunch...yum! Taught a trumpet lesson and did some grading this morning. Next up venturing out into the cold and more MF planning of course. Also planning our trip to the Grand Canyon this summer (pre-Monkeyfest).

While I love good primes, they are just not matching my useage profile. Only primes I own are the RF800 and a macro, because there are no zoom alternatives.
I would so love to have the RF600 F4 though. But it is too for me.

Fucking traffic between Los Angeles and San Diego if the god damn worst.

just drove over 1000 miles in the last two days. 75 miles in the LA area took 2.5 hours FTN

i would gladly trade you traffic for dealing with aging parents.

Yeah that sucks. I held my dads hand telling him it was ok to let go as he died 3 years ago at 96
