Next on my list: 430EX II Flash & Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5 - 4.5 UW lens.

Slight update: I ended up going with the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 UW.

I was doing a shoot the other day, and was taking my flash off the camera when a downpour started ran to my car and it fell into a puddle on the way :(.

Aw man that's terrible!

Have you ever shot in the rain? Pro gear's pretty damn solid. I've shot soccer games in the rain with my D90+70-200 with no problems. If you don't have the flash attached to the hotshoe on top of the camera and it's powered down, it can handle quite a bit (of "california rain") before there's problems. So if you're in that situation again, you probably don't need to rush so much. Unless it's pouring hardcore, which is rare where I'm from.

    • PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 by Razvan Serea PDF4QT is a free and open-source application created to provide a complete solution for working with PDF documents in a simple, flexible, and effective way. It offers all the essential tools you need to handle your files: you can view PDFs with smooth navigation, edit content, annotate pages, and highlight key sections for better collaboration. It also allows you to compare two versions of a document, making it easy to spot changes. Built-in security features give you control over protecting sensitive information and managing access. Applications PDF4QT Viewer Profi: Advanced PDF browsing with encryption, digital signature verification, annotation editing, regex text search, page-to-image conversion, and plugin support. PDF4QT Viewer Lite: Lightweight viewer with essential, user-friendly PDF viewing functions. PDF4QT DocPage Organizer: Merge, split, move, clone, or add pages easily with an intuitive interface. PDF4QT DocDiff: Compare two PDFs, highlight differences page-to-page, and export results to XML. Key Features Multithreading Support for faster PDF processing Hardware Accelerated Rendering for smooth, high-quality display Encryption to secure documents Color Management to preserve accurate color profiles Optional Content Handling to control visibility of content Text Layout Analysis for better text extraction and editing Signature Validation for verifying digital signatures Annotations and Form Filling for interactivity Text-to-Speech Conversion to listen to PDFs Advanced Annotation Tools (images, text, etc.) File Attachments Management to view and save attachments Optimization to reduce file size without losing quality Command Line Tool for automation Audio Book Conversion from PDFs Internal Structure Inspector to explore PDF structure Compare Documents to detect differences Redaction to remove sensitive information Document Signing for digital authentication PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 release notes: PDF4QT 1.6.0.0 brings a major image compression and optimization update, especially for PageMaster and assembled output documents. Image compression is now integrated into the assembly/export workflow, backed by new optimizer infrastructure, UI controls, feedback fixes, and tests. This should make PageMaster much more useful for producing smaller output PDFs directly from assembled or reorganized documents. The release also contains a large PageMaster refresh with improved drag and drop, recent files, crop pages, save/restore functionality, rotation and size indicators, a reworked icon set, and faster output preview rendering. Viewer and Editor workflows were improved with wildcard Advanced Find, Enter-to-search behavior, better outline keyboard selection, startup settings, fullscreen support, side-to-side scrolling, smoother scrolling, text selection, snapping, and expanded annotation controls. Compatibility and platform behavior were improved as well, including fixes for embedded files, fonts, checkboxes, invisible text, menu colors, highlights, XMP metadata, Windows color management, AppImage packaging, MSIX generation, installer behavior, translations, and newer compiler/Qt warnings. The commit history also includes a new scan-and-edit plugin foundation and color management performance work.

    • Same here or that Opera Max was not a thing anymore. Nothing lost... Who the hell would be considering Opera or Samsung when needing a VPN? LOL
    • If you go to the game developer website you can see that indeed Cyril Paciullo is the game director and developer https://www.pluralys.ca/about-us/ and when clicking on his name it lists Messenger Plus! as part of his CV. In case you wondered what happened to Patchou
    • A difficult position to be in. Either they cater to us users or they cater to news curators to potentially increase traffic. Personally, I wasn't being sarcastic. Hosting a website isn't free, so without traffic this site stops existing, and if you want traffic you have to play the game. I legitimately thought the title was good. Not because I like it, but because it's the kind of title people will click on. This site needs that.
