".com" is a given and takes zero effort for people to remember to append it to the end of the domain name. ".media/.photo/.clothesfordogs" just adds another thing to remember and puts additional strain on potential clients just so they can view your damn website. Seems counterintuitive from a marketing standpoint. Why compromise the function of your website just to add some level of faux-aesthetic to something as trivial as a web address?

Just wrapped shooting a feature film in 12 days. Stoked on film in general. Was up till 4:30 last night diving into freezing, oily water trying to recover a van for the film. (long story, cars don't float) and I haven't gotten more than 5 hours of sleep in two weeks but I still can't stop bing stoked. Making movies doesn't suck. Working for free for a long time is finally paying off.

I made an edit with old footage that was just sitting on my harddrive. Kinda pumped on it, makes me want to film (and be filmed haha) more! I don't embed NS videos often and the preview only shows a link so hoping it works...

I missed meeting Scott Pommier;http://www.scottpommier.com by an hour on Friday, he had come in to the shop to rent grip before my shift started. Won't be around when the order is due back, shucks

As said for the 5 millionth time. haha.
Finally went out over the last few days and shot digital. It's been about a month since I have. feels weird. Instant gratification is nice.
Spent today shooting photos of Sugarloaf's Golf Course. #1 course in the state of Maine and constantly in Golf Digest's top 100 courses in the country, it's beautiful.
Basically, I spent 6.5 hours on the course taking photos, and then have imported, sorted, edited, proofed, and exported all of the photos up until now. Long day, but worth it, and I have 69 photos I'm stoked to show for it.
Now to get an upload going and head to bed so I can go road trip to Rhode Island to chase some surf and shoot it tomorrow!

Along with an alternate body color the Fuji X-T1 will have it's firmware updated to include many useful features such as improved customability, manual controls in video, and a new electronic shutter option that will increase the possible shutter speed to 1/32000th of a second. No more need for an ND filter for portraits!
Also what they're calling the silver edition is a little overkill:
"Graphite Silver Edition
The special edition Graphite Silver version of the X-T1 features a uniquely durable and aesthetic triple layer coating finish that serves to both protect it and give it tremendous visual appeal. Succeeding an initial antioxidant treatment to the magnesium alloy body, a matte black primer coat is first applied. This helps to develop a shadow-like appearance that also accentuates the highlights developed by subsequent coats. The second step in the finishing process involves rotating the body at high speeds while thin strips of paint particles are layered using computer-controlled Thin-Film Multilayer Coating Technology, which produces the smooth graphite silver-colored look. Finally, a clear coat is applied for added durability and shininess based on the ambient lighting conditions."
Either way I'm stoked to have the options to shoot video and ultra high shutter speeds on my xt1 once the firmware is avalible.

I got an FStop Guru
It's going to be PERFECT for me.
It just fits my 5d2 body (ungripped) 17-40, fisheye, and 70-200 in the small shallow ICU.
It can fit my avy gear and skins, so i can finally bring a good camera kit into the backcountry and for inbounds pow days
And I don't have to carry my giant brick of a camera backpack around all the time

Just ordered a D750, super excited, I've been waiting for a semi pro nikon with expeed 4 since the 5300 came out

It seems pretty cool. Basically an upgraded D610. Better Autofocus, flipscreen, and 1080p60.
I found an Olympus Infinity Stylus for 4.99 at the thriftshop. Had a roll of Provia in it that had only 3 shots exposed... and a perfectly working battery...

Picking up a Ronin this week!

Canon stop my wallet hurts! In all seriousness, this lens sounds awesome.
Pretty sweet! I wish Canon would have come out with that one a long time ago. This, paired with a 50 is almost all you need. I loved the 24 f2.8 EF, but for 150 and even smaller, this would be rad for crop bodies. You can essentially get a great 2 prime setup now for 250 or less.

Picked up a canon SL1 body today, super stoked on that.
Gotta cop some lenses as well, but looking forward to shooting tons of stuff as a way to keep my brain intact after concussions.

I also picked up an SL1 recently, I actually really like the camera overall. Feels great in hand and Canon's touch interface is just such a nice feature to have. In other news, I'm planning on picking up some ND and Polarizing filters for my L glass, and also a couple of new grips/mounts too.
