I'll give a proper debrief in a bit when I get some proper time for it. In the meantime here's some snaps from the week so far. What's particularly cool is trying out some of the lenses that are around on this roadshow. If it tells you anything about my personality I picked the 8-15 fish first, even though I would probably never actually choose it for my own kit. The 65 macro 1x5 is particularly daunting and crazy to use, it's the kind of thing that you think sounds like a great idea when you read about it but in person it's a kicking and screaming mule that has the power but is hard to harness- I wasn't on a tripod for any of it and would heartily recommend using live-view in conjunction with this lens.

I've been having a great time teaching a whole variety of skill levels where some people have been shooting film for 50 years and just need some help with the menus to people who have never shot a dslr before and I'm running by giving them a shutter speed priority lesson.

J-bo giving the Tv priority mode demo. He likes the pink sunglasses.

There are some particularly meaningful students like this cool British 11 year old boy named Matt who's gonna be killin it someday and then sometimes there slightly more difficult students but I haven't freaked out on anybody yet although one guy wanted to argue with me regarding reciprocity failure insisting it didn't exist with long exposure and I was begging to differ but that's not going to benefit the group in anyway so I didn't pursue that one but come on now!- I've since thought of a different way to explain my interpretation of what I was trying to say to him.

One of my first favorite students. With the 50 1.8 (the plastic fantastic!), (great walk around lens).

Check out this cool guy with the 85 1.2. Debatably the juiciest portrait lens in the line-up.

Right then. Well that's all for now. Hope you're well and save a place for me- I'll be back. -Nate.

local Costco Food Court(non-registered)

The Food Court is located in the Warehouse, and it’s where you go if you want to Buy Food while you’re Shopping at Costco. It’s not just a place to eat, but also a place to get your hands on some Great Deals on Food and Drinks. The Restaurant Menu changes periodically, but it usually includes Hot Dogs, Pizza Slices, Chicken Nuggets, Hamburgers (with or without cheese), Fries, Soft Pretzels, Salads with lots of toppings, and dressing choices available for purchase at the salad bar. You can also get Hot Chocolate or Coffee at some locations. It’s best to plan ahead when visiting the Food Court because lines can be long (such as at Lunchtime). You can also Order Online or by Phone if you want something specific or want to avoid lines altogether! For those who are looking for something more substantial on their visit to Costco, they also have an entire Food Court that is open until 6:00 pm daily. You can even get a Bowl of Soup or a Salad if you prefer something light. While many Crowd thinks about Costco as just a large warehouse store for bulk purchases, it is actually much more than that. It has been estimated that approximately 50% of all Americans shop through the local Costco Food Court at least once per month and there are over 500 stores worldwide with locations in seven different countries around the world including Australia, Japan, and Canada. Costco's wholesale retailer sells a wide range of products and services to its members. The company has been around since 1983 and has grown over the years, with stores located all over the world. Costco currently has over 700 locations in North America alone, as well as over 400 locations in international markets including Australia, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.
