One of the first rules that I was taught was to always leave your lens cap in the bag. Put a UV filter on your lens as the filter acts as your lens cap. I see a lot of people fidgeting with the lens cap, trying to get it off in time, missing their photo opportunity. The lens cap, for me at least, is simply used when…

Found it! ;)

When I first saw the article image in the blog, I thought it was Mike Mangini with short hair! :O lol but seriously? Wow, that is incredible. What a great way to spend your free time.

Santa is Satan spelled inside out.

Imagine making plans with a friend of yours for the next day, perhaps going to ride bikes, then you get a phone call the next day informing you that the friend you were supposed to go ride bikes with is dead because he fell off his balcony while "planking". The next three days you spend alone, looking at your bike and…

How is this a relevant comparison?

You are a disgusting human being.

It isn't the year 2000 anymore, worrying about or bragging about such things is almost completely irrelevant.

@fabarati: Thanks, man! In photoshop, I was playing around with quick mask, gradient tool and optical blur to give that "toy" effect. Took just a few minutes to get the desired look. I thought it turned out kinda cool.

Here's a photo that I took of an old rusted out truck that I found from one of my many random road trips. I found it in an old barn that was surrounded by tall grass about 4 feet high:

I'll definitely see this. Eels - Souljacker sold it for me.
