Silky afternoon
Late last June I was demonstrating the Singh Ray 9stop ND for a customer. I made this image during that demo.
It's a pretty interesting filter but I really need more practice with it.
Nikon D700 ( now deceased)-- Nikon 80-200 Singh Ray 9stop ND 3541& RSS BH55

I've been pretty busy lately and gone more than I've been here, but always lurking.
I had a pretty major accident in Olympic NP ( fortunately not during a workshop) a little over a week ago. Drowned gear and totaled truck details at www.jackgrahamsblog.com.... but fortunately I am OK.
Back to Utah on Thursday!
Where is the summer going?

Dang, Jack. Just read the whole story on your blog....sounds like a pretty horrifying ordeal. The wrecked truck and drowned gear is a bummer, but at least you guys made it out relatively unscathed. Thats what really counts. Hopefully though, everything does end up in your favor when it comes to sorting out the paperwork and getting your gear back in action. Best of luck.

Wow, Jack. I'm so glad you got out of it okay. Too bad about the gear, but better to be able to tell the story and move on with life.

Good grief, Jack! What a terrible accident. Very, very glad you are okay!

Enjoyed reading through your blog, too, btw.

Wow!! Amazing story Jack and I'm glad you are okay. When I was up in the High Lakes area last month a person came around a corner on a narrow dirt road at about three times the speed she should have. She tried to stop, but fortunately there _was_ room for me to dodge over or we would likely have collided.
