    AA batteries to get?

    I use my regular Eneloops in my lights and camera flash unit. No problems, plenty of capacy, even for my Granddaughter's wedding. One set, through both the wedding and reception. My next purchase will be a charger with individual channel capability. I seem to have more than enough Eneloops!

    Got smacked by the modding virus again...

    Hokay, here goes: I've had an idea rattling around in my brain for a while. I'd like to mod a light that will be smaller than my several years old 3D Mag mod, which is a DD, with a TVIL Luxeon III. It is bright, so I put some diffusing film on the lens to tame it a bit. Still a throwbeast...

    Local man blows himself up with mortar round.....

    People do the dumbest things! We had a bunch of guys who appropriately named themselves the "Crap For Brains Hunting Club" and they trespassed on posted land, which was a disused military firing range. Alcohol was involved. One of the group found an old rifle grenade, and tossed into the...

    What kind of photographer are you?

    Dunno perzactly what kind of photog I are. I consider myself an enthusiastic hobbiest, with 50 years' experience. I did film and manual metering for years, because that's all there was. I LOVE digital, as confusing as it is. My cameras are both older-generation 6 & 12 MP Digital SLRS, and...

    Flashlight for rural acreage

    There are some lanterns available at the big box stores that will fill your needs, but they are really large and bulky, using the big 6 (?) volt batteries. Not the prettiest beam, but they do light up the night!

    Surefire Outdoorsman E2L AA Help!

    Inova 2 AA light

    Has anyone had experience with the Inova 2AA light listed as the H2DMHB? it is listed a a 2-level light, and appears to be a bright, relatively simple light. Looks like a good one for those of us who don't absolutely need a bunch of features, and the price is pretty good.
