    Little bit of everything to be honest. I've got a friend that is a wedding photographer in ATL that I second shoot for unless he's doing destination weddings, which he shoots solo.

    One of those:
    http://blakeburtonphotography.blogspot.com/2011/06/kyle-simona-married-tate-mountain.html

    Personally I've really been kinda digging portraiture lately, and have been doing a some experimentation with off-camera speedlights and modifiers. This was a coworker that I shot:

    I've also been experimenting with HDR with a church "project" that I've been loosely working on. I shot 9 stop brackets just in case I wanted to use them later, and I've found that some of the latitude it gives me, particularly with dark wood grain, is pretty amazing. Even with 16 bit NEF files I can't quite get stained glass and dark wood to play nice for a given EV.

    I've shot some out at Barber too, not much lately though. This was from the '08 AMA race.

    Good stuff Keith. I'm starting to realize that when you get into a hobby, there isn't much you don't know about it afterwards.

    lol, well I'll definitely take that as a compliment.

    Of my hobbies, photography is definitely the longest standing. I've been into it since I got my first film SLR 15 years ago. (Nikon N70) My buddy in ATL that I shoot with occasionally was in the same photo classes I was when we were in college. I almost had a minor in it by the time I graduated, but was one class short. Incidentally, it was a charcoal drawing class that all fine art minors / majors had to take.

    My personal philosophy about pretty much everything is, "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing," and "If it's worth buying, it's worth modifying." Much to my wife's chagrin, I might add, ;)

    Heya fellas... I just found this site and I noticed this thread... I'd love to get together for a ride... I'm in TrussVegas and willing to travel, so let a ninja know. I have been to the Slab, (I saw you posted a video of that trip) but I am not real familiar with it. I ride near Leeds at Markeeta Hills. It has some very technical areas and a few water crossing. I'm ready anytime, let me know....

    Dave, you still have that FJ Rim?

    I think at one point I was talking to you or someone else about a set of AAL's for TSB. Is someone waiting on me to pick up an AAL?
