I had been really keen for the last 2-3 months on the JOBO GPS unit, but I've been hearing a lot of bad stuff about it. First of all, it uses up your hot shoe - so kiss flash goodbye. Second, it fits really loosely on the shoe, so it's always falling. Did some research and ended up thinking about the Garmin. Came to your blog when reading about teh Garmen eTrex HcX - just bought it last night. For a while I was just thinking about the cool factor of having my photos geo-tagged on flickr, but seeing what you've done with the GPS for your blog has inspired me. I love how on your Hokaido post that you were able to calculate the speed of the boat. For this post specifically, I love the vignetting on the first photo - I think it REALLY, REALLY works perfectly. It kinda falls flat on the rest of them, but, as you mentioned, you didn't have a choice since you only brought that lens. I've been blogging for quite a few years now, but I've recently been slowly getting into photoblogging. Your blog is definitely something to aspire to achieve.

Cooking at the table is fun, I was once at a place where the heat source was a big soapstone. Interesting about the Sigma, I'm planning on getting a D700 someday and I'm wondering whether I can get away with my current f/2.8 lenses or if I need something faster. I'm pondering the Nikkor 35/1.8 DX which can be used in DX mode on the D700. Doesn't the D700 go into DX mode automatically when you mount a crop lens? <span class='jfriedl'>By default the D700 does go crop mode automatically, at least with Nikon DX lenses. Dunno about the Sigma. In any case, I turned that option off first thing, because <a href='http://regex.info/blog/2007-09-28/589' class='quiet' rel="nofollow">I knew from experience</a> that even DX lenses can often cover most or all of the sensor... it's just that you can't count on it, or the quality of what coverage does extend. —Jeffrey</span> Nice pics, Jeffrey!
