I went over to Dallas Love Field this morning with a friend of mine and got these beauties. Thankfully, the west runway has not opened back up yet, so everything still comes over to the east side.

Retired my 2008 Suzuki Swift yesterday and replaced it with a 2020 Mazda CX3 second hand but only with 21000 km on it.
So i can carry on for a couple of years
Jan Arie, thought you would've gotten something Dutch and a little more practical such as a Donkervoort

Bustin' one's rear is worth it when the imagery pays off..........................
Thanks for the likes Guys, much appreciated. By the time that image was captured I was past bleary eyed, but I'm glad that I pushed through it. There is a legal consideration that all these new hospitals adhere to, the "emergency" signage must be covered prior to the facility actually being opened. I guess that's because they might be liable if someone turned in there in an emergency and there was no service. They use various techniques to cover the signage, this facility used blue tape, which didn't really work very well at dusk. The client wants it to look operational and asked if I could fix it in post. I've been trying to figure out how to do that and then it dawned on me, just go find a hospital with an emergency sign lit up at dusk and shoot it, then drop it in. Hope it's as simple as it seems.................
I've been grumbling for months about the fact that I was told that I was to "enjoy" this wedding and not have a camera in my hand. Well, I thought, "how in the heck do I enjoy all the beautiful moments my mind is going to be clicking off while I stand there with my hands in my pockets......?" Well, there was a bit of that, but they were right, with Sheila and I being in the wedding party and seated in the front row I would have been a bit clunky looking with all of my gear.
The powers that be did panic in the end and ask me if I would shoot some at the rehearsal dinner and at the reception...........
The girls that they chose as the wedding photographers did a really good job, from what I could tell, great gear and every time I saw an image, one or more of them were on it. Actually, it was kind of nice to have part of the day off. One thing I noticed, and I've really known this all along, having a camera in one's hands sure relieves a guy of a lot of small talk obligations..........
Good looking couple...high schools sweethearts huh? Awesome!
(My wife and I have been together since high school...but we went to different schools. Met while working at Six Flags )
Great image Jan Arie! I have found Topaz to be a great tool, Ai Sharpen, AI Noise Reduction, and AI Mask, although I don't really have Mask down to where I'm very good at it yet.
Hope you are feeling better and ready for a relaxing weekend. I'm "ready" for one, but I have a drone shoot that begins at 4 am tomorrow so ..................

Pfft O dark thirty you better have dinner right now and off to bed.
watching Saving Private Ryan on the television and yes ready for the weekend...
Good luck with the shoot.
Congratulations Jim! I remember when my daughter got married and I accompanied them on the engagement photo shoot in Galveston. When we were done, the photographer asked me "I hope you are going to enjoy the wedding and let me take the photos". I told her "that is what I am paying you for" and I enjoyed myself. That RF-85 is doing great Jim!
Mazda: When I was in the USAF in 1971 I test drove a Mazda Rotary. I couldn't believe the torque that little engine put out and I have always admired the brand. Unfortunately I decided to safe my money and was glad I did. When I got out of the USAF I was able to buy a house with my wife with the savings. You guys keep enjoying your Zoom, Zooms! Fun little cars.

Actually the first car I ever bought was a new 1985 RX-7 GSL-SE when I got out of college. Original body style, but fuel injected. Lots of fun. I kept that for 7 years and then sold it to buy the 911 Targa.
