I suppose I'll get the RF 24TS just for the additional sharpness, but the AF feature really does nothing for an architectural shooter. To paraphrase Jackie Gleason in "Smokey and the Bandit I", An architectural photographer who uses autofocus would go to a minister's funeral dressed in feathers!

Must take weeks to preview everyone and decide what to keep and not.
Time for a new camera after a few shows.
I only shoot with electronic shutter in my two A1 so there is no shutter wear and tear involved, only tear and wear of my shutter finger.

Douglas and I marveled at the fact that, with all the weather moving through this weekend, there was not a wisp of vapor to be found.
No kidding, Jim. On Sunday when the BA was about to take off, I felt a few rains drops on my face, still no vapor!

Thanks Bill! I just looked and the size of my Barksdale folder, 761.21 GB. That's just RAW files and video clips.
Dam, that'll take you a few months to go thru,
And ya, like I said a few posts back and you certainly know as well, video files are huge, especially the 4,6 and 8k files. But they sure look good-
.
How are picture grabs on 4/8k now a days printed out ?
.
I mentioned a decade or more ago when I was using pinnacle for video, why not just always shoot video and print/post/display off of still grabs.

Yep, especially at home, several times Jim-

I haven't looked at my pictures from the Barksdale show yet, maybe this weekend. Here are a few shots at Caddo Lake on Monday morning. I chartered a pontoon for for 2.5 hours. It's not the best season (Oct and Nov are) to see the cypress trees, it really is a very unique place. As this trip was mainly for the airshow so I brought with me a cheapo kit lens for this. The boat captain said some photograph workshops book 2 years in advance for Oct/Nov season!
I sure would want to go back to shoot the cypress trees in fall one of these days with proper landscape lenses.

You can do better? Holy Cow Batman! Those are very nice.
Seeing those cypress trees reminds me what 'they' say about Texas lakes: "Don't go fast unless you know where you are going." US Corp of Engineers created most of the Texas lakes, if not all. There are a lot of stumps left behind, meaning, if you don't know the deep parts of the water you could tear up your boat, propeller or worse. Once you get out of the deep part, the old timers switch to their trolling motors. Many boats have left the water from hitting a stump at high speed. Not good.

Thank you, Bill and Ray!
The captain of the pontoon said last year he saw a 10' alligator scare the living daylight out of a couple photographers in kayaks nearby when it made sudden movement. I wouldn't want to be in a kayak in this water! I boarded the pontoon at the captain's house in Karnack. Texas. He really knows the place well. Now I can say I have been to Texas!

Alligators were an endangered species when I was a kid (50s-60s). I think in the late 70's or early 80s they suddenly over-populated and now Louisiana hires people to harvest them. There was actually a sighting here in Central Texas. Now, half of Texans wearing cowboy boots have a pair of alligator cowboy boots and a belt.

Oh, yeah, I get logged out about six times a day. Must be a security thing. I can't imagine trying to keep a website secure these days. Barksdale was encouraging everyone to post their pictures on the website, but then they got hacked and disabled that feature. "This is why we can't have nice things......."
