zyryx:

finally!

all the crunchy motocycle stuff got worked out. insurance paid out pretty much what i was hoping, after some btiching back and forth - i am getting rental payout for 35 days...all my parts either there in PA (including the rearsets from Italy!!) or on the way for delivery tomorrow or friday.

i should have the monster back next week! woo-hoo. thanks to y'all...

Hey man! I was starting to get worried that we'd lost you to something more interesting...

In terms of the colored Omnibounces - I would say "none of the above". What I would do is use the normal white one, and use color correction gels somehow adhered to the face of the Flash head (so it's colored before it hits the diffusor) - this is the ultimate in flexibility since you could use everything from the colored gels you see at venues (so you could literally color match to their lights) or use color temp filters that you'd use in a studio setting. I think the colored Omnibounces would ultimately be just as frustrated.

But I'm really talking out of my ass on this one - it's all theoretical at this point. I've been pretty broke lately, so I haven't shot anything for a while. frown

Sorry to hear about SGNY, I don't need to tell you about Southern Hospitality. wink
idjit:
Which Flash are you using? One of the other things you could try if you have a flip-down diffusor (my Sigma has one) is to simply ditch the Omnibounce and just put the gel between the "lens" of the Flash and the flip-down diffusor. I'm still wrastlin' with the Sigma to get it to work with the omnibounce (again, my impatience ruins every attempt) so I've been using the flip-down diffusor instead.

Theoretically if you're using E-TTL, throwing the gel in there shouldn't make much of a difference, but... this whole thing confounds me right now so your experience is definitely valued...

god must be an iron...the world is full of irony.

North America Warhorse called me looking for the key today.
"hmmm...it should be with the bike."
"nope"

i make a phone call...
the towing place claims, "you never gave us the key"...even after i described the guy i handed the key...what he looked like, what he was wearing, what he was doing, what time it...

I hate dealing with crackheads like that. You're like, um I think I remember doing all this.... I was only there and stuff. And they're like no, no you're lying. Whatever.

Sweet pictures. That's the pinkest mermaid I have ever seen. wink
jimmyjoe:
sh*t, the bike went dow, just if that wasn't enough : on top of that you have to take all all the abuse from a towing company....Pfff... frown

how was the Ministry party ? I've heard the CD once and wasn't too convinced...

>"oh, he wasn't wheelie'ing, he was accelerating!"

ahahahha, i will use that as an excuse from today....this said, the Gsxr test was crazy, i can't believe there are some people riding crazy bikes like that on an open road, it's totally rad by itself....Makes me appreciate the beauty of L twin even more smile

Heya! Just thought I'd see what you've been up to lately. Well, my plans for getting the DReb have been temporarily postponed.... my litttle dog needs some surgery and whatnot, so my camera fund got cleaned out. Damn! I was so close too! It's rather depressing, seeing as I have to pretty much start from scratch with the savings again. Oh well, it's just stuff. My baby needs to get better more than I need the camera.

Anyhoo, just thought I'd say hi. Hope things are well! Talk to ya later. wink

long day, huh? how was the ride, you enjoy it?
zyryx:
I just realized what your avatar photo is, you yaking a picture of yourself in your cycle mirror...

I thought it was that picture that went around a few years ago of an Apache helicopter in a rear view. Guess I should look more carefully next time
