and yes there is some new gear that I like.
The Custom Brackets QRS-E2 Camera Rotation Bracket. But you "also" need to buy a Custom Brackets CMP Universal Camera Mounting Plate and FCN Flash bracket, as well as a TTL extention cord, to make a Nikon D800 and sb900 work on it.
TetherPro USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Micro-B Cable for $ 48.95 Not cheap, but works at USB3 speeds and is Bright Orange! along with the Jerk stoppers. (don't like the cable bag, too cheaply made).
Lightroom v4.2 upgrade and Win 8 64-bit ... Win 8 I have not intstalled on my main computer yet. But on a "Clean" install on my i7 ASUS Laptop with SSD is working with all my programs (LR v4.2, CS6, Office etc and seems Faster. Problem is, I need to learn where stuff is, and how to config. to the way I like it.
I like it, but not comfortable working with it as my main ... yet.
NOW, for something I wanted to share because ... well, I live in Honolulu. :)
It's a Honolulu Magazine piece on "Honolulu in 1888" the year when Honolulu Magazine first published. Some amazing old pics (particularly when you see Honolulu now)
Here is the LINK:
Hope you enjoy the read,
Full disclosure ... yes, I do shoot for Honolulu Mag. but have nothing to do with this article.
