Apparently, these two had too much in law time for the holidays and it caused arguments. I watched them for a half hour and I'm pretty sure the discussion didn't solve anything. One kept yelling, the other just turned its back.
We had a cold front move through that brought high wind gusts and some lake effect snow squalls off Lake Huron about 150km away. Went out with the 70-200/2.8 Z to the nearby conservation area to experience the 60-70km/h winds blowing across the frozen wetland area (though it felt stronger). Pretty awesome experience feeling the power of nature.
Taking on shooting adaptive tennis, should meet on Mondays. No meeting this week, but I caught a couple players practicing and took the opportunity to make adjustments.
One thing that's become evident is I'll still need a monopod to handhold the 70-200/2.8 for any period of time. Crazy, I used to handhold that thing for days. I've fashioned a short monopod for the wheelchair out of a carbon fiber tripod extension, a narrow arca clamp (To fit on the 70-200's busy foot arca plate, where a foregrip and a Cotton Carrier receiver also live), and a monopod foot - a rubber foot with a 3/8" bolt in a ball joint.
Anyway nothing crazy yet, but I made it work. With manual exposure settings I picked at 2pm, no less. Maybe I still know what I'm doing (Not likely).
The Olympic Discovery Trail is a walking/biking path along much of the northern coastline of the Olympic Peninsula. Much of it is goes through rural residential and agricultural land. This tree with apples still hanging on caught my eye this morning.
Taken during her video with the C50. This was using the photo option while still in the video menu. This is a smaller file than just putting into photo mode on the camera. This however is a quick way to grab a shot while filming.
