Biking Tour around Lake Monona

Last time, we went around Lake Mendota for cycling, this time we will go around the smaller lake, Monona. It is a beautiful around the trails with many neighborhoods and bike paths. It was a great day so there were many people on the trail.

The Bass Keep biting at Crystal Lake when I'm Bluegill fishing!

I went fishing at Crystal lake, about 30 minutes from my house, mainly for bluegill. However, the Bass just kept biting the bait to no end. Got so many takes and managed to reel in 5 , with the last one being the biggest one so far this year. Crystal lake lives up to its name of being a bass lake indeed.

Catching Small Bass at Tenney Park

I love me some fishing and I had to get a good start to the season so I went to Tenney Lagoon where I knew there were plenty of small fish just waiting to be caught. To my surprise, this time it was small bass and no the usual panfish. Still, this did not stop a legendary fisherman for catching his fish.

Devil's Lake State Park Hiking

Devil's lake is one of the best hiking spots in the state. It features scenic viewpoints, a lot of ups and downs for exercise, beaches, canoes, and lots of wildlife. It is one of Wisconsin's most complete state park out there. The loop around the lake is part of the ice-age trail and takes a few hours to finish, but is great for a morning or afternoon hike.

DJI to be kicked out the USA by July?

DJI has lost a court case on patent infringement and may be kicked out of the USA by July. This would be a huge blow and could reset the USA drone industry as DJI is the 900LB gorilla in the field. However, this patent almost looks like it would prevent most drone makers from competing with the company(also Chinese) that brought up the lawsuit as the generic design is one that most, if not all, drones follow.

Cycling adventure around Lake Mendota

I love biking and since I got a GoPro 5 and all the mounts, I decided to make a video about the short 22 mile ride around Lake Mendota including many of the neighborhoods, parks, and other places to see around the trail. You can check them all out in this video:

Canon R5 listed for $6000

An online Camera store in Australia has listed the Canon R5 for $6000, about $2500 more expensive than I would have pegged it. I expected it to clock in at $3500 because it is the successor to the 5D series. Pricing it up near the 1DX series, I think, would be a mistake.

Sony ZV1 about to be launched

Sony has leaked that their fixed lens camera to be announced would be the vlogging camera the ZV1 and not the RX10 V that I was looking forward to. This has me sad because I don't really need a vlogging camera as there are already plenty of those out there. There will be a flippy screen and a better microphone built in but if I had the RX100 VII, I would not be rushing to buy this camera.

Panasonic GH6 to come with 41mp

The panasonic GH6 may be the refreshing breath of fresh air that MFT fans have been hoping for. After being stuck in the 20mp realm for ages, the GH6 will come with a 41mp camera with the ability to shoot 4k and 6k and possibly 8k. This is great news for the MFT crowd.

Nikon D6 to ship in 2 weeks

Nikon, after a month of delays is set to ship the D6 at the end of May. Although the D6 is only an incremental upgrade over the D5, it has been several years since the D5 release and the D6 will be a welcomed edition and possibly the last DSLR Nikon will make.
