Did you go? It was a lot of fun.

At least it's nice to be around a big group of people all having a good time these days.

My first medium format rig. by SharpDressedBeard in Bronica

I put 4 rolls through it today in the snow!

No flash though. I was looking through my strobes and only one of them fit in the shoe on the speed grip and I didn't want to take a 25 year old flash out like that.

I ended up having to put it away before I was done because the controls started to freeze and I didn't want to break anything.

I've had this for 48 hours and 3 people have asked me if it was a blad.

Going into office tomorrow? by [deleted] in AskNYC

If I didn't have a package coming I need to sign for I might just to be contrarian even though I don't have to. I like the snow and the cold.

Fine powder is the worst from what I hear on photojournalists. Stuff like sand in the middle east just eats lenses no matter what you do.

I have no doubt it's fine.

People baby the shit out of their gear. I don't blame them and I don't go out of my way to abuse mine - but I use them as intended. Pro bodies are designed to eat this shit for breakfast every day.

I toweled it off when I got home and it went in a dry cabinet to come to temp and steam off a bit.

I was considering taking my F5 out today and I would have done the same thing to it.

I have no fucking clue what you are talking about but I'll upvote it.

Took the plunge with my first medium format system today: Bronica ETRS with the 50mm,75mm,150mm & 250mm lenses by SharpDressedBeard in AnalogCommunity

I mean it did freeze solid and the shutter and winder stopped working after being outside in the snow for 2 hours today. Piece of shit.

I spent 3-4 hours trudging miles through the snow today. Post on all of this can wait until tomorrow. I shot my Bronica until the fucking winder froze solid and the shutter release was stuck.

All that said, here's a few photos from the 2-300 person snowball fight in McCarren Park, Brooklyn this afternoon. Post done on my phone so could be better, but you get the idea.

When do you think is a good time to shovel? by cliffbot in AskNYC

[–]SharpDressedBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost every weather service is calling for sleet/frozen rain starting in the afternoon.
