Boston POTN Meet (2)

Ah, the good old camera in the fridge trick. What, no RC-6 available?

Correct, no RC-6. Hence wondering if I could use the PW as a trigger.

Yep, you can. You just need a sync cable.

Dude, I have an RC-6. Wanna borrow it? You still need a line of sight, though.

Harm,

I have a remote camera set up for pocket wizards that goes into the port on the side of the camera. you can borrow if you want - I don't need it any time soon.

Damn. Just picked up some more suits. I'm starting 2013 off with 8 new suits. Sheesh.

Well... I'm donating 5 suits.

I wonder if I'd fit any of those...

You're welcome to try, but not knowing much about suits when I bought those... they're oversized on me even now.

go to franks on winter street if you want a good suit. a good suit starts with a perfect fit...and ends with a perfect fit. everything else is superficial. i have a 800 dollar suit from mens warehouse that fits like crap (yes...800 dollars...not buy 1 get 1, not 50% off your order...etc...), but for much less money i got a suit that fits like a GLOVE from franks. go in and ask for bill.

Was in some sketchy places shooting today.. haha

I like those last two edits.

I bought two suits from Frank's about 7 or 8 years ago. Both the father and son were there and they both fitted me and a friend... very old fashioned stuff and they fit you to be baggy. Best fits will be bespoke tailored to you, but that is typically $1500+. I can't/won't afford that.

Made some offers for two more pairs of shoes on eBay. I better go to bed. This is getting obsessive. What's wrong with me these days? Why am I not buying photo gear instead?

On another note - finally found someone on POTN with an Lee 82mm wide angle adapter and got it in the mail on Wednesday. Yesterday (Thursday), I got an email saying my Lee Foundation Kit and 82mm wide angle adapter was shipped. D'oh! Now I got two.

Nothing wrong with 2 Lee Kits. I have one that fits the 24II and the same size fits the 70-200. Contemplating getting one that fits the 85II...

I have the wires that came with the PWIIs, I assume I just plug on into the side of the camera, then use the 2nd one as a trigger in my hand. I will test it later tonight. I am in no rush to do all this. Alexander now walks everywhere, which means when we open the fridge he has this lovely curious look at all the stuff in the fridge and plays with everything. Would be nice to capture the face from within...

I don't have two Lee Kits... I have two 82mm wide angle adapters.

Aren't you supposed to be able to stack two Lee Kits, too? Enables you to tilt graduated filters, too.

The wires that come with it won't do it. I had to buy something separate that goes into the wired remote plug

Ahhhh. So what wires would work?
