Holy Smoke, there's another one! Is everyone in Florida a comedian? :)

I see you know the breed, Mike. Busy lot, those Border Collies. All they do is keep me vacuuming my rig that doubles for hauling them around besides my audio/video gear.

So... a Nun, a Priest, and a Rabbi, walk into a bar...

And the bartender says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"

Mike

That's a lot better than what I had :)

Here's Mine
 

I didn't even bother to clean up so excuse the mess but I wanted to invite you all in to my home work area for a minute. Have a look and tell me what you think.

So, John Kerry walks into a bar.

Bartender says: "Why the long face?" :)

OK, I'll stop now!

Somebody, call the Florida zoo-- put all these monkeys back in their cages! (RB, you are incorrigible.) :)

Nice setup, Nathan!

We RUN the zoo! Now back off, before we fling poop at you! hehehe

Thanks
 

Thank you Lorinda....now its time to start earning a return on my investments I hope.

A mess? It's not a mess until you can't see the table. ;)

An updated shot of my setup. I added the Dell 2005fpw 20.1" widescreen LCD last week. Its really great for the price ($359)!

Sorry, I didn't use a flash as I don't have a bounce and I was trying to avoid washing out the screen.

Tommy,

You absolutely did the right thing to avoid using a flash. The image is perfectly exposed for this application and without the potential washing out you mentioned. Nice job.

Continued success,

Steph

Tommy, you paid $359 for that 20" LCD??? Dang! I paid almost that for a basic 17"! (Which reminds me, I've gotta look through a pile and find that rebate...)

That's a neat deal you've got going on there. Love the case, BTW.

Not to take this where it doesn't belong, but do you edit exclusively for Web on those monitors? (question to Michael, as well.)

Lorinda, Dell has been having quite a few specials lately on their LCD monitors. I always check http://www.gotapex.com for the latest Dell coupons/deals.

As for editing on the LCD monitors. I edit for both television and web on the monitors but I'm lost without some sort of small CRT based TV for playback. LCD monitors can be deceptive in representing what a NTSC analog monitor would display.

I recently added a ZR-1000 zoom controller, Tiffen UV filter, and the EQ-XL1 windscreen to my XL2. The tripod is a bogen 3051 with a 501 head.
