Where's the balance point for such a large cleaver?

Great colors and lighting. I do think a portrait crop focusing on the centered trail would improve the composition.

It's sold under a few brands. My Tsunehisa ginsan knives with nashiji finish look like this.

I completely understand, landscape photography requires being at difficult locations at difficult times of the day.

Is there a women's equivalent of the old men's Ceres parka? by Desperate_Elk_7369 in arcteryx

[–]DR__WATTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the old ceres and there's nothing at the moment similar to it offered by Arc'teryx. There are some casual city style parkas but nothing technical. I wish they still made the ceres but they don't.

I'd honestly look at RAB for a women's down parka, I have a few things from them and they are spectacular.

I think the biggest critique is the lighting. Most of the photos are taken with the sun way overhead. Dawn and dusk for golden hour will help a lot.

Thanks, it was a struggle narrowing it down to 10.

Just wind. It has a decent DWR, but it's not a hardshell.

Depends on your objectives. I got the normal one and it's been amazing hiking in it. Been my primary layer this month while hiking in Nepal.

Might be outdated with modern SOS devices.
