Darn Jim! Is there anything you CAN'T DO?
Compliments to you on being able to do this and ALL that you do!!

Thanks Buddy! It was fun getting all the gear on, even if it was just in the pool. I'll get to really have fun with it if we do the Eleuthera trip. Gotta look into U/W cases for the R5C.
Chandler and I got home around midnight from "The Rose City Airfest", great show but the temps were brutal. Fortunately it was a dusk sho so we started shooting around 6pm and wrapped up in Tyler at 10 or so. THI was around 117 degrees when we took the field. Man I cherish these times with him.
Jim,
Last one is SUPER!!!!!!! The 1st one also! Almost looks like the engine is on fire.
The wildfires from Canada have been giving us "fits" for months!
The haze, the smoke, the smell.
We have had no appreciable rain in months and everything is drying up, burning and dying off.
These are just super compositions!
And along with that we have a "visitor" hiding at Camp David and the "no fly zone" jet noise is terrible.
Stay cool and safe!

Chandler doesn't like the mirrorless system due to the quirky AF that the viewfinder lag creates, and I agree with him. Definitely causes one to miss a shot here and there. I'm sure that Canon will fix all that in the next year with the new models. He did immediately grab the RF600 and hang on to it for quite a bit of the show. I was surprised how quickly he acclimated to the long, fixed focal length.
This was really the first time I had an opportunity to put it through it's paces, as expected, it performed beautifully.

Hi Jim,
Yeah, I decided to try out a Z6 a couple of years ago and decided that it just wouldn't do. But the Z9 has completely fixed that. There's just no lag at all. The only reason you know you're taking pictures is that it flashes the borders of the frame and it makes a small clicking sound. I expect that I'll get a second one and trade off my D4S and D5. Probably keep at least one of my two D850 though.

Glad to see women as jet, military pilots. I fought against women soldiers. They can share my foxhole any time and not for amourous activities.

Brother Jim!
Here the heat index is a major problem BUT the wildfire smoke and smell from the Canadian wildfires makes this type shooting far more difficult. At any time of day.
Well done!

I find this extremely dramatic Jim! Having served in a combat zone, the sound of close air support and its "all of a sudden it is there" entry onto the battlefield gave me chills.. F4's you heard them and they were there. These made their entry noticable via sound and smoke trails, and the outcome not gud for the other side. "Keep your heads down" was what the pilot(s) called out over the air.

"Rebel" is the complete package, beautiful, incredibly skilled and a delightful human being, just don't let her pull up on your six, or 12, or 9, or 3..............
