Use a Bigger Hammer

So I decided to play wannabe again and picked out a nifty all-mechanical 6x6 to (hopefully) fill the empty black square frames sitting in the living room. I'm nowhere near the talent level of some people I know, so I'm hoping a big fat lens and a shiny expensive camera will make up for the lack of photographic knowhow. [evil laugh] I'm praying that the weather and light gods will shine down upon me this weekend and let me put this beautiful Swedish tool to some hard work. I think I'm going to forego the metering viewfinder and just go with a handheld Sekonic. It's way too cumbersome to figure out the thing, it's heavy, it darkens the bright ground glass, I lose the whole waistfinder action, and it's not linked to the lens so I'm basically better off with a handheld. Oh well, lesson learned. I wish I had the money to actually buy a camera like this...it just looks SO cool.

Gary, you really missed out on karting tonight. You gotta stop working so hard!! Hopefully after you become a seasoned veteran at your company you can start slacking off. :) We all had a blast, but a few of us had issues with inconsistent cars (such as bad alignment). We only did the Triple Shot Tuesday thing (three practice sessions for $45) so it was more of a practice. Everyone learned it pretty quickly, and got some good times in the second session. I'll definitely plan on something either next month or January -- and we'll make it a race, with the full deal: qualifying for grid, then dicing for position...hopefully we can get more guys to come out so we can have the track to ourselves.
