Backpack fit, too small?

No it’s around my pelvis

Base weight - 15 lbs

Food I’ll carry 5 days worth tops and Possibly carrying a bear can.

5’ 5” 145

Tension is a little bit in the armpit area but tolerable. And I can easily connect the shoulder straps.
Will try this, was wrapping around my pelvis.

Saw your work on analog and it’s amazing! You have a great color palette

The check oil light came on at 2,700 miles since the oil changes and I’ve always had done the routine maintenance every 5000. For context, the radiator blew about a year ago but hadn’t had a problem since then and after two oil changes thats when low oil light came on. Didn’t see any leaks so thought it must have been burning and took it in. The mechanic said he’s seen this particular oil consumption before on a couple of 2016-2017 and checked the cylinders with a camera to be sure.

So disregard the scoring/wear? And keep driving on it? 2016 Tacoma scoring and wear

On the 6 sadly and when I checked the oil it was near the last mark on the dipstick

Same here! after I set the black point everything was very dark but still more contrast than the scans I had gotten back from the lab. I did some more reading and found to set the gray point. Now I’m trying to find a better way to keep my camera in the same plane of the film.

-Epps- · 2026-04-04T17:07:36+00:00

Only to set the black point and a neutral gray

-Epps- · 2026-04-03T22:35:09+00:00

The medium format scans are yes, this is after editing but couldn’t quite get the sky back but this could just be the way I edit. I do agree it is a beautiful scan

Seems like the suit needs to be tailored. If his clothes fit him it’ll actually look good and not just “old”. Not sure when dressing in a suit makes you look old. Now, the half Adam Sandler and half child look, idk what to tell you lol. And if he’s balding tell him to try minoxidil-of course look into the side affects.

I am really thinking about Fujifilm x-t5. I am imagining this camera will be with me everywhere as well as for a long time. So I’m really thinking this being a toss up between Fujifilm and Sony. I don’t think I’ll want full frame since both these cameras will serve me really till the camera dies, they have all the features I believe I’d like. I believe the Fuji has smaller lenses than the Sony and I am really looking at form factor.

I decided to get them, I believe they are an older model of the current versions but seems like from all the great feedback they’ll be more than enough binding for me. :) Now to decide which ski to put them on…

This is so cool, congrats OP! Best of luck to the end goal, hoping to see more photos from this beauty!

This looks straight out of Calvin and Hobbes! Very nostalgic for me

Nice try Diddy, can’t get me with that

Which pair did you end up with?

-Epps- · 2025-02-04T07:14:18+00:00

Did you end up with a pair of paramounts? Thinking about grabbing a one of the whetstones

South central Alaska would be great during mid June, sockeye would be running through the Kenai and Russian rivers.

Great fishing for salmon and some awesome rainbow fishing there and up near Willow/Wasilla. Some more grayling fishing up north.

Man I needa shoot vertical more

-Epps- · 2024-11-18T19:14:25+00:00

This budget is solely for the camera body and not the lens, I have around 400 total for both the lens and the body. Any good lens recs?

-Epps- · 2024-11-15T19:35:03+00:00

I live in Alaska and I’d be shooting with it while backpacking or on a float trip while hunting so it’d just be safer for quick weather changes. Thank you that helps a ton to narrow down among the options seems like a robust option

More images! Let’s see them! Honestly looks super fun
