OEM > Mugen > Spoon.

The Spoon is the dumbest thing ever, you need to remove it to open the trunk.

I'm not fond of the OEM. The huge wrap around glass kills it for me.

Mugen ftw! There is a white s2k around here with the spoon top (well spoon everything haha).

Jon, I like the photo. Also, look at the ones I did and pm me on some editing techniques. Actually, anyone can pm me on new stuff to try.

It's raining so you guys are going to have to put up with me editing old pics.



Sid, I'll PM you some links/resources in a bit after I'm done setting up my blog. I can't decide whether to use a free one or pay for hosting...

Just ordered my CompuTrekker AW Plus. Got it for only $112 shipped, brand new :D. I'll probably be selling my CompuDayPack, assuming this new bag is what I need. I better get this thing before next Friday.

On another note.....is there a website that would give you tutorials on Post Processing an Image? My post processing blows and I really want to get better at it.

Carbon, that is the bag I use and trust me there is PLENTY of space in it. Don uses the same bag too. Been using it for years and it holds EVERYTHING i have plus i've still got room left.

Canon 5d with grip attached and 24-105mm IS USM L lens attached to body, 15mm fisheye, 50mm 1.8, 70-200mm, 580 exII flash, Bronica ETRSI camera/lens/viewfinder (HUGE piece of equipment), battery charger, 2 walkie talkies and charger, speed winder for the ETRSI, filter case, all the manuals for everything, 17" laptop, lens pen, rocket blower, 2 weather proof bags filled with film, 6 memory cards, key string that holds ur keys in place, holds the tripod on the front, and like i said there is still more room.

U won't be filling it up anytime soon. ha ha This is my favorite bag by far. Definitely starting to get a little heavy ha ha. It's basically a small photography studio that is portable. ha ha

Sweet. I can fit everything I currently own in my CompuDayPack, but the lower compartment is filled to the brim, and now that I have a 10-20mm on the way, I won't be able to fit that. I figured the big ___ bag would be sufficient for travel, when I want to carry everything, then I still have a small Nikon bag which fits 1 SLR and 2 lenses that's good for sports events (backpacks aren't allowed at stadiums usually), and then I think I'm going to pick up a slingbag for when I go hiking/mountain biking.

Hopefully by this time next year, I'll be rid of most of my lenses, and have condensed/upgraded everything. I definitely need to swap my 18-55, 55-200, and 18-135 for an 18-200.
