“He is a very cheeky young chap” Said Mrs Johnson.
Looks like you made friends with the 85mm! Hopefully TOOTB might “see” the benefits …… eventually.
They tell me that spoiling the grandkids is one of life's great rewards.
Jim, your house project looks great!
I just finished a little carport project at the house. Attached to my backyard shed/workshop.
The lumber was indeed sorry and unbelievably expensive...ugh
A flat metal roof was easy....but that pitched roof is a whole nuther animal. I too recommend outsourcing that part of the build!

You would love the 85/1.2 Douglas! I’m glad that James was my first subject, but it’s very easy to see the potential in corporate portraiture. People comment that it’s big and heavy, I think it’s one of those lenses that sits in your hand and let’s you know that is there, then taunts you to do something with it. I sent the portrait of James to my Canon guy and all I said was “Your 85/1.2 is underpriced……”🤣
Chandler and I went out and flew this evening for the first time in quite a while, it was a perfect evening to fly. When we taxied in there was still a little daylight left so I hopped out and set up the Westcott............ This was with the 85/1.2, but stopped down to f3.2 to get a little more DOF.
The ease of set up, intuitive interface and the quality of light make the FJ400 a no brainer. I'm going to do a series of portraits using the Spirit of Alliance as the backdrop, should be very cool. I think I need a couple more, maybe the FJ200 units.
This was a gutsy play by Bryan (wearing the blue uniform). There was a passed ball, the runner at third held up. The catcher tossed the ball to the pitcher who turned his back to home plate to walk to the mound. The third base runner still had a lead off so he took off for home. They yelled at the pitcher (who was distracted being disgusted with himself) to throw the ball home. The catcher had to move to the third baseline left of the plate to catch a high throw by the pitcher. The runner slid on the back side of the plate, but still knocked the catcher down who fell on top of him for the tag. The runner never touched home plate until after the tag. This shot was where the catcher showed the ump he had control of the ball and the runner was hoping he had touched the plate, he didn’t.
