Kebler is still 90-95% green as of this weekend.

The rest of the area is changing and some stands are peaking off Washington Gulch. I'd guess next week will have the most changing leaves still on...

CDOT has their hands full with 70 around Eisenhower. Saw a car eastbound outside Silverthorne stopped in the middle of the highway putting on chains. Wet snow set up real slick.

Texans in the wild heading back east. Bare and wet blinker technique going 15 under. At least they were on the right...

Wife lost a set of gaiters at the Loveland Pass parking area this morning (10-10:30ish). OR, size S, black. Shoot me a PM if you happened to come across them. Windblown conditions on the ridgelines.

I picked up the Asus PA246Q less than a year ago. 24", 16:10, wide gamut, and comes in just below your budget. If you keep an eye on prices, I've seen it get below $400. I've been happy with it,...

Definitely a nice camera from Sony, although I think Blackmagic's little bombshell NAB announcement has put all the big manufacturers on notice. ...

Jeff was a truly great guy. So sorry to see him go.

I have a hacked GH2, 14-140, and a bunch of FD primes. Like 'em. Can't speak for the G3 specifically, but certainly a bit smaller. Image stabilization is the same in all the cameras because it is...

Tried to follow both announcements yesterday. The absence of 1080p60 on the Canon seems very out of place. RED came out swinging (after 3 years). I think people are more excited about the 4K DSLR...

I'll definitely pass this along to the guys in the video. Had one or two still working past the advanced beginner stage, but game for hiking. Watching footage works as a nice teaching tool too. I...

A mix of hacked and unhacked GH2 footage from the past few weeks, along with some GoPro shots. Upping the bitrate really helps the 720p shots...stock 1080p was already pretty good.

Somewhere in Colorado...

Catching greenbacks up high will never get old.

Quick update on the hack progress. One of the tester's videos looking extremely good for mostly ISO 1250. Download the original file if you can.

Thanks, hoping to contribute more in the future.

Small body (Pen or GFx) for her, GH2 for you, share lenses?

In other news, the GH2 hack is really starting to heat up. If Vitaliy says he's reached a big breakthrough, it's big...
...

Canon T3i perhaps if you want a bigger sensor and a bit cheaper? Definitely some differences on the video side though. I know a lot of people are waiting to see what Canon does next on the video...

Semi-cross post from the Photo/Video forum, but it's remarkable how different the high lakes are in terms of snowpack in southern CO versus northern.

Backpacking over the holiday weekend:

...

Still around and just finished an edit from a trip last weekend.

Mostly GH2, a bit of GoPro at different resolutions too. Download the original for vastly...

The Panasonic LX5 and new Olympus XZ-1 are worth looking at as well if you're leaning towards the S95. I have a ZS3 for going light (great pocketable zoom range), but I've fallen really hard for the...

WP skied well yesterday and today. Easy 8-10" of new on top of everything that fell during the day yesterday. I don't know where they measure...

Chutes opened, the upper mountain opened and the...

Flew home for the holidays and forgot to bring the USB adapter cord. No results until next week unfortunately, but there are a bunch of stills up on the DPReview m43rds forum and videos examples are...

My GH2 arrived yesterday from Amazon. The EVF is great and the autofocus speed with the kit lens is really snappy. Heading out to experiment with the 14-140 and a 50 1.4 FD lens I picked up off...

Official video for the first single, Derezzed, came out today.

Finished watching, the lighting contrasts in Treadway's segment were very very nice.

No pressure for the next one, right?

Paid and downloading (speed is decent). Been waiting to see this since I saw the first Perspectives clip.

Stoke is high.

Big props to Splat for supporting SKEEZE!

Hard to believe the first Snowstock was just five years ago...

Looks like a flat mount versus a 75mm ball head on the 717. The 717 head also has a different quick release plate. Legs are different from the kit I picked up too.

It's not the lightest thing around, which on the one hand is good for stability. At least 10 lbs total. Haven't tried throwing it on a pack for extended distances, but it does get relatively small. ...

I actually picked up that head in a 75mm bowl mount with a set of tripod legs off Amazon recently. All metal except for a switch or two. Not bad for the price ($150 for the kit, looks like it is...

The EVF on the GH2 has been improved to 1.53M dots and has 100% coverage. Magnification of 0.71x (Nikon D3 = 0.7x and Canon 1Ds = 0.76x). Supposedly quite nice from the first impressions. ...

The A55 is interesting for sure, but my quibble is that it doesn't have full manual video controls at the moment (promised in a firmware update). A gold award from dpreview is nothing to sneeze at...

I have a GH2 on preorder for now. If the reviews are below what is expected, then I would certainly consider putting my money elsewhere. Personally I would have preferred the sensor improvements...

Thought it was a solid piece of work and seconded on the Colby comment (slots slots slots!). The tiltshift/lensbaby selective focus effect was a little overplayed for my tastes though.

Anyone...

Should have gone to page two of my search results...Packable Travel Tripod for Canon T2i (still+video) - Teton Gravity Research Forums.

Any extra advice is welcome though.

I'm looking at picking up a video tripod in the near future for use with a DSLR. What are people using for filming in areas that require a decent hike/skin? There's clearly a trade-off in stability...

Been sitting on the fence about whether to pick up a 7D/GH1/5Dii/T2i or wait for the GH2 spec announcements this fall. Pros and cons to each option.

One of the major cons for the GH1 is now gone...

Atrain, is that the indi ultracompact shoulder rig you guys are rocking? Seems like a pretty killer deal.

Heading to Vail, blue jacket and blue Megawatts. Good Friday indeed.

Looking for some advice for using two pairs of boots with the 09/10 model and Dukes. I was thinking +1 for a pair of 305 bsl AT boots, which would put me approximately on the line after adjusting...

I'm sure people wouldn't mind sitting or standing...make it happen! Great job getting the early show sold-out this year.

What everyone else said...redonkadonk.

That was the reasoning for our crew as well. Plus a seamless transition from happy hour to ski hour.

Interested as well.

Dropped from an A+ to an A for not incorporating a "Push It To The Limit" montage. :rolleyes2

Awesome stuff!

Chalk this up to limited experience with big upslopes, but how far west do these conditions generally extend? Does the hose turn off at the divide or gradually trend off past it? Berthoud vs...

Some great motivation for a planned attempt next month. Keep the Cascade radness coming!

Bump it up.

Will be there with a crew, grill and drinkables. Might be a bit more skiing than drinking to start things off if the next storm develops as forecasted...:fm:

A sad salute to a legend...you won't be forgotten.

Heard this too...really hope this isn't true. :(

Got the day off Friday, but the drive is going to be...interesting. And early.
