Three separate websites is simply too many. After an embarrassing amount of time, the work is done it’s all be condensed into one. Nothing fancy, but it’s all in once place with many river descriptions updated too. Now blog updates will return on a regular basis and can be found at: DarinMcQuoid.com

I’ve been spending a tedious amount of time rebuilding my website, because I’d like to have a centralized spot for all my write ups and updates. Of course it’s more time consuming than I had guessed at, but work is in progress.

While that work is in progress I’ve wandered across some older images too. Here is one from South Silver, a slightly different edit (cropped in) than ran in Paddler Magazine several years ago.

Nikon D200, Sigma 18-200 @ 18mm 1/800 F6.3 ISO 100

A sweet safe return. I had a great time in Africa but didn’t exactly get a ton of paddling in. What can you do?

Sony NEX-5, Tamron “19AH” at 200mm 1/1000 F8 ISO 200

Whaaa? Not Nikon? I’m not really a fan-boy. Just before heading to Africa I picked up my bag and had second thoughts. Having a backup camera on a work trip is mandatory. Trying to travel somewhat light is key too. In my bag was: D700, D200, 300mm EDIF, Tamron 70-210, Nikkor 50mm F2, Nikkor 28mm F2, Nikkor 20mm 2.8, Tamron SP Teleconverter, Five batteries, wireless trigger ect ect ect. Let’s just say it wasn’t light. So I switched out the D200 for the tiny NEX-5 which still has an APS-C sized sensor and shoots nice HD video. It’s almost weightless, and while not ideal for full time shooting a great backup. Plus with a cheap converter mount, I can use all my old Nikon lenses on it. It’s not a D700 in image quality or noise performance, but it’s only 10% of the weight too!

Expect regular updates upon my return around Nov 19th.
