True... lighting is key, and never mind what happens in post-processing (if any)! I'm thinking
sage green is still my best bet overall at the moment.
Chagzuki hit it on the head about racing green. I couldn't quite figure out what was not impressing me, but if the racing green is a little off or the light is not quite right, then it does look sort of John Deere-industrial-farm like -
not that this is bad, but it's just not me.
Oddly enough, I think I would have preferred the gloss as opposed to the matte.
Yes, I'm thinking the rack is more efficient and effective for me overall. I know I can't put very large items on it, but with the rack, I can at least get the rack bag and put more items in there. I shoot with two systems - Nikon full frame and Panasonic 4/3 - so I would think I should be able to pack the smaller Panasonic kit and corresponding smaller items more easily. I should also be able to get some of my Nikon kit too. I don't think I'll be cycling to many photo assignments or events, but I've noticed that some of them are really spread out and wouldn't a bike be easier to get around if I could drag out a Brompton and scoot around rather than hoofing it with 30 lbs of overpriced glass and metal! Also, I'd love to just go on some photo/biking tours.
