Has anyone ever tried these? Any opinions or experiences to share? I've never tried one, but am very interested, The damn things are expensive as hell, but it may have to be an investment I make...

Reading this thread made the ringing in my ears worse - just because it got me thinking about it more. I've been dealing with bad Tinnitus for longer than I can remember. It's hard to pinpoint any...

I had the ozone thing done here in Germany last December. It didn't do shit. I think it's quackery. I then had to have emergency surgery to fix my severely bulging L4/L5, the numbness in both...

This page is missing pictures of kids. Well, luckily I checked in here. ;)

PS - awesome shots on this page. AlexC - that...

Perhaps you'll have better luck with yours. My Tamarac went to crap on me in Paris last Spring. I had a helluva time finding duct tape in that city to patch it up for the rest of the trip! I had...

Congratulations UCL! Wow, what a place to get engaged! I've still never made it to that neck of the woods, but must make it a priority one of these days. I mean, just look at the your pictures of...

I still haven't found the perfect, do-it-all bag, and likely never will. I would really, really like to try one of the f-stop bags one of these days, though. I've tried a lot of Lowe Pro bags, and...

Gorgeous shots mtcham and CW.

It is the only prominent thing in the tiny village I live in, Ursulapoppenricht. I think there might be a fire hydrant. Might go look for that tomorrow.
...

As I mentioned, I'm positive I've been dealing with this for a long, long time too. I think back to basketball or football practices as a kid and always hurting, always being sore. Coaches and...

Skunked due to sleeping through the best hours and then fog in the very early morning. I did take a couple of shots just to test out some settings and did get much better results. Setting the focus...

Thanks for the posts, all. I'll re-read tomorrow and post a bit more thoughtfully. It's been a rough couple of days. Really appreciate the input!

Wow - thanks Fuzz! Great info. Way better than anything I found online searching. I guess I forgot to mention what I was shooting with (duh): 5dmii, and a choice of lenses, all L series. Above...

Splitter - those shots are great! Love the one with the puppy!

Holy crap - never been that close to a baldy! Where was it taken vanisle? Great wildlife shots from Mt Cham, as always.
...

Hey all - any advice on doing this? I'm lazy and didn't feel like wading through a bunch of past threads. I found some ambivalent advice online (low f-stop vs high, low iso vs high, etc...)

I...

I did a search and didn't find anything posted about this disorder. Just curious if anyone else has any experience with it. After two weeks of testing, I was diagnosed with Fibro yesterday. I've...

Wow, some great, great shots. Love that second car one.

Not sure if it's the percs or not, but this picture is mesmerizing ;) Really nice. Where exactly was this taken? I'm an Oregon boy originally, but didn't spend a lot of time up that way.

I understand and can appreciate that! Kind of cool to have it loaded up in to iTunes, though. Can either just listen to the show or watch it on the big screen downstairs via the AppleTV. I've seen...

for the last few years, they've been closing with 'blankest year'. They get the whole crowd involved - "Ah Fuck it, I'm going to have a party!" I'm uploading the full concert video now. I can...

We went and saw Nada Surf at the Beatpol in Dresden last night. Great, great acoustic show with a lot of energy from the band and the crowd. Love seeing these guys when they are over here touring....

Close to the caption I used on FB! She just doesn't yet quite understand, "patience, honey - the steak is coming.."

Her sister gets feisty when she wants more, too...

Wish I had better news - cross post from other back thread

Here it is six months later, and I'm suffering from pretty bad bilateral sciatica. I had an MRI done last week and found out my L4/L5 is...

I had surgery this past January to fix a herniated and degenerative L4/L5. I tried three different therapists, did the epidurals, did the cortisone, and even did some funky ozone injection therapy...

I just finished the book this morning. Actually, I finished the main story last night, woke up this morning, and the first thing I did was grab the book and start reading the epilogue. After a...

Grade 3 lateral tear confirmed by physical and ultrasound investigation. I'm actual going in for an MRI Friday morning to see just how bad. Gotta say, the more I use it, the worse and less stable...

Going in Wednesday to get my right lateral meniscus checked out. GP said it's torn, but going to see the ortho now. There was no specific injury either. I think it was just worn out and couldn't...

vinzclortho - save yourself the time, money, and frustration and listen to spats! It is very likely that the nutritionist will be dolling out typical standard american diet advice, much of which is...

Great pictures! I love the old trees. Love that first one. The BW is very nice, but I'm diggin' the color in these. There are some great old trees down the way from me in this little village. ...

The effect definitely has it's place. But for every f'ing photo I see on Facebook? It's a fad that will pass when the next App comes along which will probably be some horrific mutation of HDR (as...

They really stepped up the production value a few years ago. They get really creative with their homemade rigs, and I know I've seen them using a 5d for some shooting (I think the Rome episode and...

thanks Fuzz. Great shots 159. Love that last one. Very nice FreakofSnow. Love the socks! I'm looking forward to when mine get a bit older and we can do a bit more together, but I'm also loving...

Not sure if I like the treatment on this or not. Probably post something different later if I can find some time.

Stroll to Godlricht...

That was really cool. I'll repeat the sentiment - good vibe. Never been to the area, but definitely would like to some day.

I just picked up a Kalahari Canvas shoulder camera bag at a shop here in Germany and really like it. It looks absolutely nothing like a camera bag, but works great, even with my 5D and the 70-200...

Great shots. Love that area. We were thinking about going back down there in the next couple of months, but I think it would be way too hard with two babies. It was hard enough when I was last...

Nice photos, everyone. Been some time since I've even looked. Been kept busy by these two:

I"m letting my SmugMug lapse. I just don't like the vibe of the place, the customization isn't all that easy (and I know a thing or two about code), and there are a few things I wish I could do with...

Thanks, Fuzz. I've been working on bouncing the flash a bit, and getting some decent results. Think it's just a matter of practice and getting some different settings dialed in. I'll keep working...

This is what I'm dealing with in Germany. Like it's 1982 here still..... ALL of the photoshops in the area I live in think this is high art. I just got some really good news about my art today,...

My thoughts are almost identical to Fuzz's. The 24-105 is a great all-around lens. Mine seems to have become a bit soft over the 3 to 4 years I've had it (haven't had time to explore why), but it...

Thanks, system. I have played with the compensation, but not enough to get things even close to dialed. I guess I should also mention I'm using a 5d II, so no built in flash. The gifted 420 is the...

Off-topic, but I had to check out this Fred Miranda site after seeing it mentioned here again. Reminds me of a not-quite-as-bad digital grin forum (smug mug). Some really shitty photos on their...

should have been more clear with my original post, but I do think you guys have pretty much answered my question. I should have framed it differently but wasn't thinking too clearly. I think I'll...

I usually don't like to use a flash, preferring natural light or whatever light is available. I was given an old Canon 420EX that I use on occasion, but frankly, I don't like how the pics look as a...
