How comes you have a topless reo Russ ?

I just like to switch between them. Because the woodvil has a higher meaning, I don't expose it to anything that could marr it.

The grands switch between "in use" and backup.

I only vape one juice. I call it Marlboro light or Marlboro red - depends how long I press the fire button before hitting

Happy you're digging the cube Russ. I am cubeless right now. Left it on a job and never got it back.

I really dig it. Thank you for the tips LT. I'm impressed at the pics I can take with my phone now.

*tosses his 35mm camera and lenses into the trash* Nice, photos, Supe. You should order one of every possible REO and photograph them like that, then send them to Rob to post on his site A tough sacrifice, I know, but it's taking one for the cause, right?

Nice photo Russ! See, with the right tools, you can get awesome photos

Lol, hardly, but to each their own!

OK... So now that I'm awake (and sober), I decided to dust off one of the old carto's and follow your advice. I'm getting the squonk down w/ the carto. It sounds silly, but I find it easier with a rebuildable! Nonetheless, I have a carto on my grand and I am thoroughly enjoying some AiV Twas Brillig.

Thanks!

Are those I-phone5 camera tips you are referring to Russ, I would be interested if they are as i don't want to get another camera, I would rather use my phone.

 

[super_X_drifter]

Hey Paul!
Yep, LT advised me of some some helpful tips, including using an inexpensive light tent off EBay and tripod for my iPhone.

I got 3 little 60 watt lights from target and 3 6500k daylight bulbs. I also snapped up a camera app called camera + which lets me pick exposure and focus and has some other coil tools and effects.

Phone aside, all of it's just under $50 all in.

Sounds cool Russ, does the app allow you to manually focus for close up shots.

+1 x infinity.

Sounds cool Russ, does the app allow you to manually focus for close up shots.

Yes. You have zoom and focus. Is called camera+. It's by tap tap tap.

You hit the screen with 2 fingers and these 2 circles pop on the screen - 1 for exposure and 1 for focal point. You can move them about the scene. Here's another shot / effect

Since I'm new to the ville, what is on top of your VV Russ?

Curious, if this thread is the "REO Family Photos & Storage Ideas Part II", why don't I see any storage ideas?

I've been looking for some lately and not had too much luck. Since I don't have much to buy or fiddle with since I got my Reo's I need something to do with all that time I used to try new stuff with. Mostly looking for something to hold them in the car, they seem to go all over the place in the cup holder. Modblox makes some cup holder inserts for mods and can customize them to fit the Reo (they only do tubes and MVP in stock). But they are pricey.

Don't need anything for home, they sit fine without a holder.

What about a cell phone holder? I'm sure there's one that would fit a Reo. And then you'd still have cup holder space since those cell phone thingies tend to snap to the vents or stick to somewhere on the dash.

Chalice I believe

Great idea. I'm looking around for one right now

 

[super_X_drifter]

Yep, KwhyLE is correct. Chalice by mark bugs.
I like RM2 better, especially in warm humid weather and you can get 4 for the price of a chalice - if you can even find a chalice (right stats?).

But I still think no catfish's collection is complete without one they are on a whole different level of insanity.

Can you believe my local Lowes didn't have 600 grit sandpaper? And they only had Formby's tung oil, which I didn't trust to be 100% tung oil, so I got this 2oz bottle on eBay. Now I'm just waiting on my 600 grit sandpaper I bought on eBay. From China.
