Yup, 600RX's. Great lights.

The low riders are real nice. I use then in conjuction with a couple Matthew's flags for background lights. Works like a champ.

One could go crazy collecting and figuring out grip......

[edit for TOPP: aerial view of Ship Rock, NM]

This is one of the most iconic images of Ship Rock ever!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully, you know how much I love this image Steve. Thanks for posting it today.

Jeff, is right, that image of Shiprock, is spectacular, if only for the view point. Black and white, is the only way to see it.

There's a reason that, in the Motion Picture / TV industry, there are entire companies that do nothing but Grip and Gaff. It quickly becomes a specialty as production budgets increase.

For those who prefer their engines round...

Jay, a guy could exhaust himself throwing superlatives your way, but this one speaks to me. Subject, lighting, background, viewpoint, composition: just stunning!

What's the difference between gripping and gaffing, then? Gaffers have better tape? You don't hear about grip's tape...

Thanks Zim...

Jo: Grips handle scenery, etc... Gaffers are, for the most part, electricians.

I realized after I threw up that Ship Rock image from an old folder on my iPad that a) it had no watermark and b) I hadn't reworked it in several years. So, thanks to the 2012 Process in LR4 and a little Silver Efex Pro 2, here's today's version. I'm not sure whether I like it better or not, but it sure is different.

Thoroughly nice pictures all over this page.

Thanks for the explanation, Jay.

I like the stronger tones and contrast of Ship Rock itself in the second image, Steve, but the dark sky feels unnatural to me and distracts from the subject itself. IMHO, the best of both worlds would be the overall tonality of the second, but with the lighter sky of the first.

Thanks for the input, Rodolfo. I'll meet you halfway on the sky:

Funny you should ask that question about ISAP/Red Flag. Larry and I were discussing the subject today. We might have an announcement soon on that subject.

Jay:
That B-ONE photo is the only thing I went to red flag to get.. alas I drew the dang blue paper and didnt get it. But that rocks!

You can say that again!

Oh, and all this talk about Joe McNally cost me a bunch of $ at Amazon.

You won't be sorry Erich. Joe's books are informative and entertaining. You'll refer to them often.
