Looks like Canon finally got the RF-Ef adapter with the ND filter problem figured out, mine arrives next week, my second one that is. I guess I discovered the problem for them, but there's been no discussion about it.
Glad they listened to you Jim! That is a vital piece of equipment to Canon shooters! No discussions no problem to Canon!
Good job brother!
Dan
Thanks Dan! That ND converter is especially important to people capturing video where wider apertures are desirable. The converter is a bit pricey and folks have complained, but there is some intricate machining involved so I didn’t mind the cost. They apparently shut the whole production line down once they verified what I was telling them.

It has been awhile but I was finally able to shoot something aviation related that is worth sharing. These were taken from a Utah Air National Guard KC-135 as they refueled the 2021 team en-route from El Centro to Pensacola.

I think you did rather well excellent.
And a nice and clean refuelling window.

I thought of Douglas this morning when I rolled up on a block long demonstration against the Communist Chinese Party. Very well organized, hundreds of feet of banners, Chinese Americans all over talking with people and handing out informational brochures on the misinformation re: COVID and the terrible treatment of Chinese citizens by the CCP. Contrary to all the garbage one hears about hatred and violence toward Asians, these folks were receiving nothing but warm support for their cause.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness, Jim. No doubt there is more anti-Asian sentiment due to the devastating COVID that has destroyed so many lives and livelihood worldwide. I have not personally or directly encountered such acts but I am aware of it, and let me say it here, there are not just white bigots, there are black bigots, Asian bigots too, surprise, surprise! It's unfortunate that some folks see everything through the race prism.
By and large, Asians in the U.S. have strong families and push their kids to excel academically. This allows them to make a comfortable living that most of them could not even dream of back in the countries where they come from, even though they may have to work a little harder to get there. We usually don't carry that victim-hood mentality, except when the ivy league schools artificially create higher hurdles for Asians in admission. Asians, especially those who were not born here, like me, are mostly grateful for being able to live in this country, despite all the flaws it has.
Thank you, Jim. I treasure your friendship.
A few shots from this morning in Washington DC. I am dipping my toes in infrared photography.

Where is the " I love it!" button when you need it? Your touching sentiment means a great deal to me Douglas and I look forward to a time when we will have the opportunity to get to know each other the old fashioned way.
Once again your images leave me amazed, well done young man! I look forward to seeing more of your infrared work!
