Well I bought what were supposed to be new rotors on eBay, but upon closer inspection, they appear used.  Still working out some type of refund before getting some real new ones.  These are going on my 2010 Trek Fuel EX 9.8 when I finally get it sorted out.

Jennifer’s Wedding in Lightroom 3

After spending some time in Adobe Lightroom 3, and seeing the amazing results, I am a firm believer that all Photographers (Pro or otherwise) should be shooting pictures in RAW (forget JPG) and doing some post processing.  So I have made the switch to shooting NEF (Nikon’s RAW) on my D700, and the results are nothing short of phenomenal.  The grain can be removed, the white balance is perfect, and when it isn’t, it is easily corrected.

Think about how important your photos are and how long you want to keep them.  Are they snapshots or something more than that.  Ask your photographer to shoot RAW just to be sure
And one more thing, the second pic has the before and after mixed up. Click on the photos to enlarge them to judge for yourself

Crank Brothers Cobalt Wheelset

Well I needed some beefier tires for my Fuel EX 9.8, and ended up going with some Bontrager Rhythm Pro’s, so this set of wheels is now making the auction rounds on eBay.  Is “too light” a good reason for getting rid of some wheels?

I picked up this 2009 Gary Fisher Procaliber as a project bike, and decided it is much better suited for someone else.  As awesome as it is, there is no room in my stable for it, so it will find its way on eBay soon enough.
