Great shots, guys.

Here's a shot from today. This was shot with the 70-200 ƒ/2.8 L @ 2.8.

I left work early yesterday and planned on getting some shots of an old truss bridge near home. The light was good when I left the office, but clouds moved in and screwed it up some before I got to the bridge. The river was also flooded, so getting down under the bridge or near the usual shoreline was out of the question. I'll probably have to come back this summer and try again.

Still makes for a cool shot, though.

No, but I processed the same RAW file two different ways and then merged the images. Otherwise it was very flat and almost monochromatic (and not in a good way).

Panerai 305

was a surprise from my dad the other day. He has too many watches, so he passed one along to me.

and thanks, tinkered around with the post processing a bit to see what i could do.

Yup. Thanks!

My old man has interesting taste. He has 7 other Panerai's and then some other watches, so I guess he was ok giving one up

It's a nice piece, I'm probably going to grab a different band for it however.

Get on the watch forums, people trade their panerai's like they are playing cards. Might be able to find one for an ok price.

[Chewy734]

which forum exactly? Btw, if you get bored with it, you know where to send it.

haha, sadly my dad put a stipulation on it where if i get bored of it, i have to give it back

timezone.com
watchuseek.com

those are 2 seposedly good ones, I know there's lots of others, but can't think of them at the moment. But there's lots of brand specific ones as well.

I tend not to read too many of the forums, I prefur to do my own research, there's lots of people out there with pretty bogus opinions (just like any other forum) But on the other hand, it's also a great resourse for opening you up to brands you won't have heard of.

I found this site the other day, it isn't a complete list of all the brands, but it's got the most in one location that i've come across, unfortunatly no prices are listed either. But it's a good resource to see what's out there.

http://watchluxus.com/brands

again, not all watches are shown, and not all brands are shown, but it should give you a good start to see what exists.
