I really do not have the heavy accent, but I love to play with my Southern Origins. Vicksburg, MS. Nice to be here.
I became extremely interested in optics when I became a semi-pro shooter, and we began having night shoots using incand and LED lights. In addition, I have a nice PVS 14 system that I use in the dark shoots. As I shot more at night, I realize the difference in different light models, how they threw, a need for a more precise IR filter with a nice hot spot (haven’t found that yet as the light has a diffuser head and does just that) and more candela and how that related to lumens. I also carry a light everywhere I go and my family thinks I am a bit nuts. It has been a SF E2D with a KL 4 heat, but I am looking for something different now.
Thanks for letting me ramble. Hope to hear from some of you as I learn a bit more about lighting!
Welcome to the forum Harvest. Hope you enjoy your time here.
I don't recognize the equipment you are mention in your OP. So please excuse me for asking a probably dumb question. Are you talking about shooting as in photography, as in guns, or as in something else I'm obviously clueless about?
I lived across the river from you in Madison Parish when I was kid. Been to Vicksburg many times.
I especially remember when they were raising the gunboat Cairo from the river back in the 60s. We took a picnic lunch one Saturday and sat on the bluff above the river watching the process. I was amazed to see it at the park many years later.
Sorry for not clearing the message. I have been cruzing the site. I shoot in 3 gun competitions so I am interested in weapons lights and tactical illumination, and also with easy carry lights for distraction purposes. I want to talk to someone that might be interested in some mods to a current SF Scout to increase throw, candela, lumens and programming for easier use. I am also into NV for night shooting. Really a cool new sport.
