RK_tek Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Watched a large tang do the same thing at my LFS. IT smacked the concrete floor HARD, sounded like you slapped the floor with a wet towel. Poor guy ended up dying. We are about to get hammered here in VA, some sources are saying 10-12 inches. Which for Virginia is the Snow-pocalypse. So we stocked up in booze, and I'm sitting by the fireplace shopping for tank stuff and drinking moonshine. HAHAHA! I have found my people. I have two jars of moonshine in the cabinet and was given 4 sixers of craft beer as a tip the other day. Bring on the icy weather. We've been hovering right at freezing, 20 miles north it's snow and ice. Link to comment

NorthGaHillbilly Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 What light is over your fuge? This is essentially what Im using, closest thing I could find on HDs website http://www.homedepot.com/p/EcoSmart-120W-Equivalent-Daylight-5000K-BR40-CFL-Light-Bulb-ESBR42350K/205487757?N=5yc1vZbmatZ1z0u18w Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've got some work to do before I get this worked out, but heres what Ive got so far. I changed things up alot, with the tubes, as well as shooting in Raw, or NEF for nikon, GIMP wont open them, so I had to go through another program into gimp, and im not sure if my issues are coming from that or from the changes to the camera, but im getting some weird ass red speckling in it, i think its from the multiple programs involved in the operation. but here they are. They are coming out way over saturated looking, but thats how they popped up in the program, I think I need to find a better way to get them into GIMP, or.... gasp, go back to just shooting JPEG till I learn more about it all Link to comment
markalot Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Try http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/ Can be used as a Plugin to GIMP. I get the speckling unless the proper noise reduction is applied, which a good RAW plugin should handle. Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Looking good man! I appreciate it man, how's the married life?

kguske2 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I appreciate it man, how's the married life? Oh ya know, spent the first night in the hospital cuz wife had a bad asthma attack, next night we almost burned down the apartment when we forgot there was pizza boxes in the oven and turned it on. Other than that it's going great! Happily ever after right?? Link to comment
ReviloM Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Where did you get your extension tubes, Greg? And I think, I may be wrong, NEF is a newer format for more recent Nikon cameras. I know I couldn't use that format with my lightroom until I got a more recent version of Lightroom which supported NEF format from my D3300. See if GIMP can be updated. Link to comment
