Opening act was good too. Played some Robert Johnson and Son House among other notables.

Re: Photography Thread
Couple of frames from the Edgar Winter show here in town last night. Nice 75-seat venue and we were in the third row.

Re: Photography Thread
No sweat, conversation was always about quality. Thanks for the comments on composition — I kinda dig it too. And I especially hate the red LEDs. They always seem to make the sensor take a crap.

Hear what you're saying about larger sensor. Have a few older P&S cameras around here. May bring one with me next time. Would love to bring my P7000, which takes dynamite images, but just a little...

Think it also boasts a 1/500 sec flash speed which is awesome.

Re: Photography Thread
Great post Brad. To me, an 85/2.8 is a perfect DSLR portrait lens. Back in the film days, I still shot Nikon but inherited a bag of MF Pentax stuff. The body was crap, but there was a Pentax 100/2.8...

Anyone ever shot with the Nikon 105DC lens? Looks pretty cool.

Re: Photography Thread
To eliminate camera shake, if you can, use a tripod and use the self-timer set at 2 sec. Free vs. cost of wired cable release and you get the same result.

Thought I'd weigh in on the discussion.
Canon and Nikon each have their pros and cons. I've been a Nikon shooter since I was 16 and bought my first "real" camera, an FG-20. My son is now 16 and we...

Had the opportunity to catch the Johnny Winter Band in a tiny 80-seat venue last night.

Anyone have experience with Yongnuo gear? Looking to pic up another flash and some TTL triggers and the price. Reviews seem pretty solid, overall, especially for the triggers.

For a long time I've been of the mind that bodies just don't have the same staying power that they did when we used film. Digital gets obsolete so quickly. The Nikon F2 was a workhorse in the 70s and...
