try changing the WB to Tungsten to see if it loses the yellowish cast. have had the same problem here at the museum, but they're updating their lighting to LED now.

single shot with the 18mm 3.5, this lens is quite sharp even at 3.5, but the far edge needs care with field curvature,. we'll see what the 18mm 4.0 dpes.
Short visit to Samy's balmy neck of the woods.These were taken around 24 hours apart. The blue skies were great but it was windy as hell and much colder.
Serge, very nice! Love the sunset and the plane taking off high above the Washington Monument. There's been a couple intense wind days here this week so you must have timed your trip for one of those days
Wow, even the record looks pristine! Returning the PM

Thanks, Samy.
I waited for that large bird before hitting the shutter. The jets fly over the Monument every 5-10 minutes which makes it worth the wait.
Took the photos on the 8th and it was a darn windy afternoon. It was lots of fun.
Just dropped by to say a quick hello. Since I was here last, I’ve taken 6 pictures total. Have totally lost the will to shoot at all. My health hasn’t been awesome. Been having a lot of pain in my feet because of my now worsening diabetic neuropathy. I have spots on my feet that are permanently numb, and others that the nerves constantly fire in pain. Getting hard to move around on bad days.
Also found out why I’m always exhausted and falling asleep at any time. I have severe sleep apnea. I stop breathing between 40-80 times per hour. Because of this, my body is in a constant survival mode and I rarely get even close to deep sleep. Now I have to take a whole new group of meds so I don’t have a heart attack and die.
Doctors aren’t sure which came first, but often one can cause the other. My eyes are in a constant state of flux and without AF, my keeper rate is maybe 1%. In the coming weeks, I will be slowly liquidating my kit, will probably pick up a small point and shoot for the few shots I’m asked to take. I’m also not really getting any help at home, so this is really wearing on me. I think my family is scared and don’t know what to do or say and as such, I’m often feeling like a stranger in my own home. I still have to cook for everyone and I do most of the chores involving the now 4yo. It sucks.
Sorry for unloading on you all. Some of the only people I can talk to anymore.
Kevin, it also sounds like you need to see someone for the "feeling like a stranger in your own home". Sometimes all the medical issues can wear on your mental health as well.

And I ramdomly do my last posting today, this of the USS Michael Monsoor arriving to SD for the first time a year ago, here the port pilot ladder is in place, taken with the super sharp but useless 800mm 5.6. We are getting them ready for full operational capability. She is now nicely painted and on the same pier as Zumwalt and LPD 26, mine as well.
