Gramp's Old Guy Build - Agnus the GX

Home brew with a bolt I found and a piece of electrical conduit. You can probably get the bolt from ACE and I have a bunch of spare conduit we can cut.

 

Went down to FJ Summit with Bob. We had a couple great day dowb there. Here's a couple shots from my phone. Have lots of pics to go through.

Black Bear

Bottom of Black Bear pass at Bridal Falls.

Cinnamon Pass

 

Your gloss black wheels shows you had a good time. Nice pics Eric.

 

Thanks Ray. Yeah we got into a bit of mudd on Sunday up top in the Engineer Pass Basin while exploring some old mine buildings. I am going to try to chisel it off tonight.

 

OK. Decided to bite the bullet and downloaded Adobe Lightroom so that I can now edit my photos a bit and add water marks. Here is a shot I took this past weekend with my Canon SX50. Added my watermark now so none of you can steal it from me.

Let me know what you think!

 

looks good man...in that photo i would bring down the saturation a big on your greens to bring the focus more on the deer...and maybe bring down your highlights a little to help with the over exposed top left section

 

Cool. I will play around with that some in Lightroom tonight. It could be the smaller picture a bit too cause I don't see it as much on the full version I have on my desktop. Thanks for the feedback!

 

Stolen, using as my cover photo on FB here shortly

I kind of like how it is now, overall the saturation is a bit high as the deers coloring is a bit to much towards the orange side of things. I would just crop the photo to make a better composition, something like this is what i had in mind



I also added a photo filter color yellow to it, added a high pass filter to make it sharper, and dodged a bit of the shadows on his hind quarters to make them pop a bit. But all in all great work eric!!

 

Holy crap Phil. I have some learning to do. A lot of that went right over my head.

 

dont worry about any of that crap i spouted out The main thing was just to show you by cropping the photo you can make it that much better by making the focus on the subject, being the deer in this photo

 

You need to spout more beer. And thanks for the cropping note. I do know how to do that but didn't consider it until now.

 

Just a small thing I did this morning but some of you might find it handy. My truck would not fit in my garage simply because of the ladder stored on my RTT. So I started the season with removing the tent after each trip and reinstalling before the next trip so I could still keep my truck in the garage. Then it finally dawned on me this last trip why not make the ladder easy to remove instead. A ton less work then trying to load the tent each time. I finally got around to it this morning. All it took was to remove 2-10mm bolts that held the ladder on. Turns out they were not even the right bolts (I got the tent used) as they were in 5/16" holes. So I got 2-Hillman 5/16" pins and completed the task in just under 10 minutes. And now I fit in the garage.

 

YEAH BUDDY!!!!

 

Stolen from Jace's Build Thread. Posting here for future MOD.

rear disc w/ e-brake

 

you first this time

 

Yup saw that. I kept trying to go to the first gen section on the site and it kept going to the 2nd gen. So I don't know if there is a difference.

 

Yeah I am gonna have to contact them. Make sure they work with 16" rims. I figure I might do this and an upgrade to the front at the same time.

 

Berry, disks?
