Nair party!!!

strangely enough i also worked on that commercial. your friend is right, for a stunt we did a lot of takes. the director wanted to get a close up shot of the back of the girls head hitting the corner of the counter and she just couldn't get close enough (i don't blame her). the day after that we shot a guy getting blown up by an acetylene gas tank(notice dude in flames):

Wait, what do you do for a job? That seems like a good photo but I didn't know anyone worked as a stills photographer on shoots for commercials ...

I am no longer a Cervelo employee, as my seasonal contract expired a week and a half ago. I would imagine anything happening on this end may wait, as many of the full time employees are still on holiday after the company trip to France. I'm a big fan of Sastre and the Schlecks so this year was awesome. What a close race for so much of it.

Did anyone else see Jens Voigt's saddle break off of his seatpost on the last stage? That certainly made Cervelo look bad! I wonder if it was the saddle or the seatpost that failed? Over-tightened clamp maybe... I hope it wasn't the seatpost because his post was the proprietary Soloist Carbon seatpost that I will soon be riding myself!

I think we should have a caption contest for this pic, I'll start:

"Last time I try to smoke while takin a crap..."

I was watching it on a 50" screen yesterday, it looked very much like the seat failed....I think I could still see the busted rails poking out of both ends of the clamp

I'm a camera assistant(i put motion picture cameras together, load film, change lenses, make sure everything works, act as a scapegoat for blame, etc.). Most of the time they have a stills photographer on movie sets but rarely on commercials. I just always have my camera with me in case we do anything interesting.

Gotcha, I used to do that in the photography industry.

Am I the the only one who checked out the bike websites today half expecting to hear that Sastre was caught cheating after that incredible TT? I'm watching it live thinking "wow, he's riding well....but so did Vinikorov last year..." I'm glad that he was riding 'clean'.

o rly? then suggest a brand of pola to buy. and talk me out of/into buying a canon 24mmf1.4L lens with my next paycheque.

oh yeah, bike stuff. to replace the one the thieving *******s took i bought a floor pump today. and my GF bought a cruiser on the weekend. i rode it and now i also want one. and a road bike. and a mtn. bike. and touring bike. and a...

jeremywhitehorn

here's about half of the pile...

I haven't shot film in ages ... skip the polaroids and by yourself a used Phase One back. And I could never talk someone out of buying a good lens so I'm no help there either.

I would wait for a bit to see who is going to take over making instant film, and whether or not they are going to keep the same formats that are currently available.

I know the original HolgaRoid backs use a type of film that is getting REALLY hard to find except from https://www.unsaleable.com

as for the L prime.... you can never go wrong if it is a focal length that you will use.

i'm trying to decide if i should pull the trigger on a tilt/shift lens.

I think for something like that you might be able to get away with just renting occasionally from Headshots or Vistek.

kylehutton

there's a russian made one on ebay for $200 new.

80mm 2.8

would be amazing for portraits

and then rent a wider one if necessary.

I've got a russian fisheye i'm happy with, as it was 1/10th of what the canon one costs.

2wheelsgood

i meant polarizer, not polaroid.

"Tom realised too late that Mavis had indeed left the gas on as she had suspected earlier that day, and for once he regretted ignoring her constant paranoid text messages. As the cat narrowly missed his skull he wryly remembered the boy who cried wolf, and wondered briefly who picked up after that thing before the ground came swiftly to meet him."

And 2wheelsgood, seven pairs of two is even better.

My stable is at three, and it includces the unmentioned category of folding bike, along with the more pedestrian mountain and road.
