I think Twixtor is going to turn into one of those "you either love it or hate it, but it's definitely a look" things, kinda like HDR and overdone tonemapping has for stills photography.

Rather cool in this instance though :)

I see you twixtor'd the slo-mo - the ripples it leaves in the interpolated frames remind me of Predator in this setting :)

My dream place to photograph is underwater in the Maldives :)

Helps that some of my favourite blogs are using Disqus. Makes life easy and as you say brings a better sense of community and ownership of comments.

I like Disqus, saves me from remembering dozens of different logins just to post comments.

The rig looks interesting, but a little awkward gripping the left hand side and using the follow focus at the same time...

Any time.

I'm now a product designer so bad design choices annoy me for a whole different set of reasons.

Better gear design benefits everyone in the end. I'd love to see the dissapearance of gender stereotyping in fashion and design, but that's what you get in the age of informatics when people think they can understand a market by compiling some statistics and letting accountants rule the decision making. Support small local manufacturers and you end up with people who understand their customers and listen to their feedback.

Ok I'm a guy, but I thought I'd come out in solidarity.

Having climbed with a lot of female partners AND worked in a gear shop selling outdoorsy clothing and kit I have to say I'm right with you on the appalling lack (generally) of well thought out lady specific designs and a nice selection of colours. I can't count the number of times I've had a female customer look with horror at the colours the outdoors manufacturers have picked for them. I've yet to find a brand that bothers to do good basics (ie black, blue, red, green) + selection of more interesting colours for women. We eventually gave up mentioning this to company reps as they're slooooow to make any changes, what did we know, we were only talking to their customers day in day out right?
