As I was telling wyofilm, my initial search showed that Campsaver.com had several of the MR packs we've been discussing, though their "Availability" search function is a bit kludgy. Here's a link to...
Ha, I'm still running a Bozeman-era Astralplane on an XL frame as my winter hiking bag--I've tricked it out with an aftermarket hipbelt and shoulder harness, but I'm guessing it will swallow Bryan's...
I keep trying to talk Bryan into a shiny new Mystery Ranch, but apparently the dude just keeps buying cameras instead...:) At any rate, MR packs feature a bomber suspension and usually have pack...
Ha, Nacoochee Valley?:) At any rate, even in "historical" times there was much to-ing and fro-ing there along the Savannah River as first the Westoes (Iroquoian-speaking refugees from the Great...
No doubt I'll never be considered a "power user" but I'll be interested if there's a consensus that emerges regarding the "sweet spot" in terms of RAM and SSD capacity in the new Apple machines for...
Excellent, that's a useful piece of advice I think.
A new favorite...think you might have stumbled onto the genii locorum of the place and lived to tell the tale.:)
Excellent, I definitely won't come anywhere near those limits--though on the processing end, the new Apple Silicon chips (M1 and upcoming M1x) start to make a lot of sense.:)
Excellent, I was meaning to ask you: IIRC, you were using an Panasonic S1 (~24 MP with pixel shift) for a while--if you did a one-shot "scan" of a 5x7 negative with it, how big of a print do you...
As always, a lot will depend on your personal needs and infrastructure.:) If your short zoom gives you files you're happy with, excellent--however, many people make a distinction between lenses that...
Mi(ke) drop?:p Ha, what's next--four 5x12's in portrait orientation?:)
Otherwise, a great shot--very much like the S-curve through the frame, courtesy, I'm assuming, of the tall tripod approach...
Ha, my treads are showing a little wear as well--though mostly from a few decades of backcountry fly fishing.:) Speaking of Porter and printing, here's an interesting video if you've not seen it:...
Nice discussion (I'm going to say I have "standing" since I roam about in the Appalachias, albeit a few hundred miles south of you.):)
I'm glad you mentioned Porter. A couple of things I picked...
Ha, here Back East most folks will trade talent for a Husqvarna with a 24-inch bar.
Some times subject isolation is literally impossible. Bryan's (LFPF member Corran) suggestion for reducing...
Ha, you might have been able to haul out a big ball of sleepy timber rattlers as well...:)
At any rate, given the vagaries of the native photo hosting here, I'm having to interpolate a bit...not...
Great set, but I'm going to vote this one "Best in Show"--I could really see a subtle, evocative print here, especially if you spent a bit more time in post guiding our eyes through the frame.
Ha, definitely trying to thread the needle between Scylla and Charybdis, domestic harmony-wise.:) Thanks again!
Leave it to a (notional) Scot to start fingering his bawbees:rolleyes:, but one thing I don't have a handle on is the cost of the buy-in. Is it one of those buy once/cry once affairs where after the...
As I mentioned in a different thread, I've been pondering much the same as the OP--as you might expect, the topic is coming up a lot over at Fred Miranda's joint, e.g.
...
Excellent, I believe my wife might have snuck that title in the door along with her latest book order. (A direct violation of the great "Right-sizing Our Home Libraries" treaty of 2017, but I might...
Ha, Vaughn...until you can re-case the joint, here's one both you and Faraz might enjoy:...

OTOH, speaking of the other (Scot?) Evil Empire, it could be that Adobe plays especially well with Apple's new architecture. More benchmarks for...
That's been my personal state of affairs since, maybe, 1995.:) Just to chime in, I am in the market for a Mac Mini--as you might have seen, the late 2020 models are the first to use Apple's...
Very much like this--for myself, the tree branches in the background are handled especially well...just OOF enough to provide subject isolation, but with enough structure to provide context while...
Excellent, it will take me a while to work up to the Optional Super-Fancy Linear Photoshop Expert Option but everything looks promising! Thanks again for sharing your approach.
Ha, little chance of that...:) As I might have mentioned before, I've no doubt your work-around does what you need it to--if I had a fast 75mm or 90mm, I definitely might be tempted as well, even if...
Another option might be the Horseman "technical" field cameras (FA/HD/HF)--they are well made and some of the most compact 4x5's out there. They do have drawbacks, though: they have relatively short...
Ken, since many of us have made use of your PS "toning tutorials" over the years, that was an immediate question I had. I did a quick recce of the Cone website and saw that there were several toning...
Excellent, so I'm assuming you're rolling heavy like some piedmontane Clyde Butcher these days?:) That certainly seems to be a format made for this part of the world--definitely need to get it up to...
Inspiring work, Thad and Michael. I could especially see trying to find a little loiter time among the whitebark pines, HAPE be damned.:p
Ha, you should also use this one to begin a "Thanksgiving" thread.:) Definitely one for me to study, considering my newfound interest in Zone III!
+1, Michael--a wonderful montane color palette there!:)
The sea, the snotgreen sea, the scrotumtightening sea, as Stephen Dedalus had it.:)
Glad you threw this one open for discussion: as it stands right now, I think the shot is a horizontal 4x5 crop...
Ha, a nice reminder why the colonists called stands of Nyssa "bottle-arse tupelo.":)
That's a wonderful tableau--one of the best photos I've seen here at LFPF. (If you were shooting that pig of a camera handheld, you deserved to walk away with all the Rocky Mountain oysters you...
I'll definitely be interested in your thought process here, especially IIRC you work with a hybrid workflow. After all, you could crop a 5x7 negative shot with your 300 to the equivalent 500mm focal...
Ha, for once I'm not for cropping--I think symmetry is the name of the game here, with the sky playing an important structural element...the cloud deck works so much better than if you'd only a clear...
One of my favorites from you--hope it prints big for you if you're making the circuit in the upcoming year.:)
I thought that was what cruiser axes were for. At any rate, in this semitropical ecosystem I'd think I'd ask the lederhosen-clad gents to stay downwind...
Ha, plenty of first time wading "boots" consisted of a pair of Chucks with carpet glued to the soles. At any rate, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not quite so burly as the New Zealanders and...
