HRBUD? I'll bet it will have great synergy with Dom.

This here is some impressive strobist work. A quick peek at the exposure info explains a lot. 1 second exposure @ F/13, ISO400. That means the photographer had some wiggle room to trigger the gun and the strobe, yet didn't have to worry about ambient light making the pellet appear blurred. What I surmise he did was trigger the gun and strobe simultaneously, and had a digital delay actually fire the strobe X milliseconds later. Knowing the FPS of the pellet and how far it had to travel to pass the razor, it would be reasonably easy to compute. Getting a shot like this actually work is a whole nother matter. My hat's off to him.

I'll echo the faster and zero timeouts comments. Yay tkam!

I like everything about the Balancing act except for the power light. It look like a 1980s motel phone. From what I recall (and can see from the above pic) the Moth gear used faceted light covers that looked both more classy and vintage. I really do like the sloped front and upward facing knobs. It (duh) recalls the storied Xana and has a great "mad scientist" feel about it.

These are current production models, and supposedly one can order them.

I love the ginormous 650 connectors.

Rorschach's journal. May 21st. The club is dying. Dancers are swaying and turning, like condemned hanging from the gallows. Their hearts are trying to go on, but their minds and bodies are dead. It's 4 am. The club is bleeding sweat like an open wound. I don't stop dancing. I try to keep everybody going, but it feels like the night is already dead and rotting in the gutter, being feasted on by stray dogs.

^^ Okay, that, ruled. I haven't seen it in about a decade.
