Another friend of mine gave me a "dog fancy" magazine last week telling me there is a good article about Neos in it. What do you know, Bentley is on the cover of it and he's got a full page spread on page 64... Funny how he manage to make himself famous!

How funny. I hear he's signed a 3 movie deal with merchandising rights and possibly a comic book.

you rock Garrett!
Nope, wasn't stuck. Been 4 wheelin all my life, if it still moves, I'm getting it out.
that was close though, but I still had a 6" rock going on there and popped it out.
You should have an H1 buddy, incredible trucks, can't believe where it goes.
From your pics above, I can tell you'd love it.
Cheers,

sorry no pic

Dave do you know a photography forum that isn't brand centric? I'd like to learn more about photography and not have to be in the church of Nikon or Canon

I have a Pentax istD and a small selection of lenses..

Why are the legs of the tripod wrapped in duct tape? looks like pipe insulation also

Tim, try www.dgrin.com . I joined up in January. It's a nice place. Doesn't matter what level you are or what camera you have.

The legs are wrapped for shoulder protection. When out in the field and moving around with a giant lens/camera attached, the tubes will make you sore in no time - imagine, leaving the legs extended, but folding them in and then carrying the whole thing like a pair of skis.

P.S. the foam/tape is only about two feet long.

Thanks for the link

carrying the whole thing like a pair of skis.

Makes sense

Ive been Skiing for over 40 years...... used to haul around those 215 Dynastars with Salomon bindings...... still have the scars lol

La Jolla cove the other night. I lived and worked near here in college and also got engaged here a LONG time ago. Had kinda forgotten how beautiful it is...

Steve, did you do any post processing on that image? That's an interesting Ricoh P&S you used.

Yes, I processed it fairly heavily. I converted the RAW to a TIFF so I could run it through Capture NX with a large filter set I got from Nik (who makes Capture NX). That little Ricoh rocks with the 24-72mm equivalent zoom and RAW capability. Here's a couple others I tweaked from that same batch:
