I followed the [youtuber Cliff's advice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqy7QGcNxbE&t=1113s) on sticking to the ~10x range and had been looking at leupold, swarovski, bushnell, nikon, vortex, etc. I happened to see some spotting scopes while walking through the small town of Mendicino after a wine tasting, and popped in just before closing time. The man at the counter walked me through many pairs, teaching me things I hadn't read online and really letting me see the difference in weights, sizes, clarity, looks, etc. I thought the Leupold 12x50(?)s were very nice, but the price of $600+ felt outside my spontaneous purchase budget. For kicks, I asked to try some swarovski's ($2500) to compare. They were damn nice, so I died a little inside. He then pulled out the Companion CL's. They were less than half the size of the leupolds, but I swear they were the clearest things I have loked through. It was like having super powers! + +I turned to my wife (it was on our honeymoon), and she gave me the go-ahead, saying she wasn't going to stop me (even though they were double the price of the "too pricey" Leupolds). It was a fun moment I will always remeber while using them. + +Since then, I've brought these bad boys along with me to a lot of places and the joy of being able to see much further and much more clearly has not faded. I hope they perform well for many years, hunting, sailing/boating, hiking, camping, etc. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/hugo-content/static/img/binos.webp b/hugo-content/static/img/binos.webp new file mode 100644 index 0000000..78c10f3 Binary files /dev/null and b/hugo-content/static/img/binos.webp differ diff --git a/scripts/make_webp.sh b/scripts/make_webp.sh new file mode 100755 index 0000000..67f7d5a --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/make_webp.sh @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +#!/bin/bash + +# Find all files of type PNG, JPEG, or TIFF +files=$(find ../hugo-content/static/test-img -type f -iname "*.png" -o -iname "*.jpg" -o -iname "*.tif") + +# Loop through all the files in the directory +for file in $files; do + # Convert the file to WEBP + cwebp -resize 1500 0 $file -o "${file%.*}.webp" + # Delete old file + rm $file +done \ No newline at end of file
