Long weekend of editing and gear updates.

I managed to edit about 1000 photos this weekend. Apparently, not a moment too soon as the Front Range's unseasonably warm weather finally moves out and Fall makes a serious appearance in about 48 hours. One of my extremely brief shoots was a grassland fire along US 36. After the action died down, I found myself stuck in traffic, as usual.

Gear Update: I finally secured a longer lens with legacy glass that won't slow me down too much. Resolution testing next week against Nikon's best to make sure it's up to the task of the new higher resolution sensors. After some distribution issues, my new Kata journalist's bag arrived as well. While it hasn't been put though it's paces in really extreme conditions yet, it's one of the best I've used so far. Nothing like Israeli-made gear.

Tomorrow's MTR 3500 Hazardous Weather Topic at Metro State College: Windstorms. Timing couldn't be much better. Since my house is located in one of the most extreme wind environments on planet Earth, I don't think I'll be doing much prep work for this lecture. Now if I could just get some sleep! :-)
